Preparing my Dragon Con outfit

I'm so excited. I feel like it's the 3rd week of December and Christmas is just around the corner. Why am I excited? Well, actually, a lot of things are exciting me recently, but in particular, the date for the opening of Dragon Con is looming in the near future. And I'm working one of the fun preliminary tasks: Shopping for an outfit.

Normally, I forget to plan for an outfit until I'm packing, and then I have to resort to grabbing stuff from my daughter's closet and trying to co-ordinate fishnets with T-shirts. But this year, I thought ahead and bought something from Ebay. Ha! High functioning ADD, my ass! I do not need Ritalin, thank you very much!

So far, everything seems to be coming together. I've pulled together an acceptable outfit; not too slutty, yet with just the right mix of Goth/Dom. Really, I'm pleased. Now if I just had the right pair of shoes....

If you've never been to Dragon Con, and you're into Science Fiction/Comics/basic nerdy stuff, this is the convention for you. People dress up as their favorite characters, take a lot of pictures and basically have a good time. There are some absolutely amazing costumes and at night there are some great concerts.

However, when the sun goes down is when the fun really begins and the truly brazen people come out. All inhibitions are tossed to the wind and people start following that old motto "Less is better". Which makes for a really interesting evening. So I'll see you there, and don't forget to bring your camera.
