It’s been quite awhile since I blogged, but I thought I’d put up some photos as I prepare for my annual geekfest at Dragon*Con. I’m dressing up one day this year as Kahlen Amnell from Legend of the Seeker. Let’s just say that Bridget Regan looks better than I do and I now really remember why I don’t have long hair anymore. 
This is one time I’ll be glad the hotels are cold since the wig is hot. Still, it’s a great costume, and a shout out to W. A. for making it for me.
Here’s Bridget as Kahlen.
Here’s me, first with the hood up.
And down, with the “daggers” up and ready. I didn’t get real daggers but am making do with some $2.50 fake ninja knives from a costume store where I got the wig. LOL. And, yes, Kahlen mysteriously needed vision correction. Hey, I want to be able to see where I’m going.
I’m super excited because four stars from my all-time favorite show, Firefly, will be in attendance this year — Summer Glau (River), Sean Maher (Simon), Jewel Staite (Kaylee) and Morena Baccarin (Inara). Even though Adam Baldwin (Jayne) won’t be there, I did have a Jayne hat made. Here’s me in said hat. (And, hey, closeup of the new glasses.) Dude, why am I always managing to put blog photos up of myself with no makeup on?
The gal who makes the hats goes the extra mile for authenticity by sending it in a box with stamps that look like postal stamps from some of the places from the show. There’s Eavesdown Docks on Persephone…
Canton, setting of the hilarious episode “Jaynestown”…
Capital City Osiris and New Duinsmur Beaumond.
She also included a replica of the letter Jayne’s mother sends to him with the hat in the episode “The Message” and a Blue Sun sticker.
I’m going to be a picture-taking maniac at Dragon*Con, so I’ll be posting more photos of awesome costumes and famous people sightings.
