![]() ![]() Thing 2 with a Dalek, which was her favourite because it was orange, her favourite colour. I don’t think any of them know each other. We found three Pikachus ( Pokémon) in the same area, so we rounded them up to take photos with my little Eeveelutions. Thing 1 and Thing 2 with Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch). Even so, I here are some of the most fun costumes that we saw of course, the ones my kids wanted to have their pictures with are ones that they’re familiar with, so Friday’s photos concentrate on kid-friendly productions. ![]() Of course, I didn’t notice that my ISO was bumped up ridiculously high until well after the fact - something about wrangling children and costumes in a crowd makes photography somewhat challenging. I brought my camera along to Ottawa ComicCon on the days where my costume would allow it, and I took plenty of photos.

I thought final look would be more Jack Nicholson’s Joker than anything else, but in the end I think I looked more like the 1960’s Cesar Romero Joker. The bow and flower were all from Michaels. The striped hose were from an American Mcgee’s Alice costume I’d done years before, and the shoes were just ones I’d had in the closet. (Now it’s actually a little bit big.) I bought the wig at Audrey’s Costume Castle and it was the last one of its kind that they had in stock, so I don’t know the make or model. It was too small for me at the time, but the outfit just screamed “Joker” to me, and I hoped that one day I’d fit into it. ![]() I bought the ugly purple ladies’ suit years ago at Value Village for about $10 I’m pretty sure it was originally a mother-of-the-bride dress from the 1980’s. This was my easiest costume of the weekend, since I assembled the pieces instead of making them.

Right now they’re talking Legend of Zelda instead, which I totally approve of, but it would be so much easier if I already had one of the costumes done this far in advance. I really hope that this costume turns out well if so, I might be able to persuade my kiddos to do a group with me for the next ComicCon. (No giving it away for those I’ve already told in person!)Īt any rate, I think that this view will be my life for the next few days. Even so, I’d be surprised if anyone can guess exactly what this mash-up costume will be. I’ll be re-using some stencils from a few years ago and, if you know the movie that part of this costume is based on, these motifs might give it away. What I will definitely say is that it’s definitely not what the pattern designers had in mind. I don’t want to come out and say what it’s going to be just yet, because I’m not a hundred percent sure that I’m going to get it done in time. I’m adapting two McCall’s patterns: M7225 (Misses’/Men’s Cape and Tunic Costumes) and M7229 (Men’s/Misses’ Nativity Scene Costumes). I’d made a similar costume before, how hard could it be, right? I’d like to say that they dragooned me into cosplaying with them, but I kind of volunteered. Some friends of mine had these great mash-up Halloween costumes this year, and they’d mentioned at a party this season that they’d like to upgrade them for a mini convention coming up this month. ![]()
