2011 Costume Plan (in other words, I'm nutty)

I can't believe that cosplay has only come into my life over the past five or so years.  It certainly makes Halloween a little different.  I'm probably going to be in costume that whole weekend at a convention.  I LOVE that I get to dress up more than one holiday a year + renaissance faires.  But since Halloween is when everyone else dresses up, it's a good time to plan ahead.  You can find sales on wigs, accessories, shoes, fabric, and props the day of Halloween or right after.  So, I made my list of new costumes for 2011.  It's a little ambitious... or crazy.  Probably the latter.

I have a pieces of almost all of these costumes though, so it shouldn't be too terrible.  If I don't procrastinate.  But I want to do them right and the best that I can.  I hope to take a sewing class before January.  I think this will really push my abilities, and it might point out some limitations too.

Next year I'll be attending Wonder Con, Phoenix Comicon, San Diego Comic-Con, GenCon, Long Beach Comic Con, and hopefully Emerald City Comicon.  If I become fabulously rich, I might throw a few more in since over half of my list is within driving distance.  For the most part, I don't know where I'll be wearing these yet.  I post any updates and progress on my costumes at my Facebook page.


Kaylee - I have had the majority of this costume for way too long.  It's at the top of the list (and yay for comfy!)


Mara Jade blue jumpsuit



Femme Boba Fett - I have the helmet and the skirt


Donna Troy, Wonder Girl - I have the jumpsuit


Ame Comi Duela Dent as the Joker - San Diego Comic-Con 2011 - I have the perfect shoes and hat


Snowbunny Padme - I have the jumpsuit and gun


Nymphadora Tonks - mostly for a Harry Potter party - I have the perfect skirt and gauntlets


Do you have cosplaying plans for next year?  I'd love to hear them!
