I love this Plastic Man costume, seen at the recent Fan Expo 2010 in Toronto. So very cool!
When will Hollywood make a Plastic Man movie? I still have hopes for Stephen Colbert to play the role. But they better hurry, he’s not getting any younger…

Look at these cute little girls dressed as RD-D2 and C-3PO! So awesome. This photo was taken at the recent Star Wars Celebration.
Way too adorable!
The base of the dresses is sewn using New Look pattern # 6878. It’s a quick and easy pattern that I make for my girls for every holiday and event. The dresses were then embellished with puff paint. That’s right, the same thing we all used when we were 10 years old to paint on everything, it is one of my favorite craft supplies. A little felt here and there for R2’s panel, and finished the outfits off with little bow head bands from the left over fabric.

I received an email from Jeremy Naylor, creator of the famous Wampa costume. He was recently at the Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, where he saw Darth Vader go head to head against a closed concession stand.
Looks like it will take more than the Force to open that door. Sorry, Vader… FAIL!
Thanks to Jeremy for the tip!
I really like this Gotrek costume! What a magnificent job. Gotrok is the troll-killing dwarf from the Warhammer fantasy universe.
As seen on io9.com, they have a nice little gallery of costumes from last weekend’s GenCon 2010. Click Here to check it out!
Here’s a fun look at Star Wars fans singing and dancing in costume. CNN captured this footage from the Star Wars Celebration which wrapped up last weekend in Orlando. During the Fan Films award show, they took a dance break while a DJ played some tunes.
Funny stuff. Not only can lightsabers chop off your hand, but they make great air guitars.

The big Star Wars Celebration is happening right now in Orlando, Florida! ABC has a bit of news on the event.
I’m quite intrigued by this “Main Event” — an hour long interview between Jon Stewart and George Lucas! That would be soo awesome to see.
I’m sure some great photos will be popping up soon, and I’m looking forward to seeing all the awesome costumes!
The big Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas wrapped up last weekend. Trekkies from all around the world gathered to celebrate the fabulous universe of Star Trek.
TrekMovie has a nice collection of photos from their costume contest. Some great costumes! You gotta love the green body paint.
I wish I could have gone!

Check out these costumes from last weekend’s Colorado Renaissance Festival in Larkspur. Aren’t they completely amazing?
Denver publication Westword has a gallery of the 50 Best Costumes from this festival. I’ve posted a few below, visit their site to view the full gallery!
Featuring a cast of hundreds of authentically costumed merrymakers living and working throughout the village and performing, continuously, upon the Festival’s seven stages, the illusion of a rollicking 16th Century festival day is created. Impromptu encounters with the royalty and peasantry of Tudor England are commonplace. You’ll meet all kinds, from jousters to jugglers to minstrels to maidens faire, all schooled in art of interactive theatre! Much new entertainment has been summoned by Good King Henry for this glorious season.

I always love hearing from Jonathon Rosenthal, the head organizer of The Group That Shall Not Be Named.
His Harry Potter group went to Infinitus 2010 in Orlando a couple of weeks ago, and he was kind enough to tag a set of cosplay photos on Flickr.
What a great guy — and what awesome costumes! This looks like SO MUCH fun!

I definitely laughed out loud when I saw these clever costumes. As you may have heard, last weekend at Comic-Con a man got arrested for stabbing someone with a pen. Apparently, they were fighting over seats or something, and the victim got scratched near his eye.
Soon, the story became wildly exaggerated, and rumors spread that the guy had his eye poked out, and there was blood everywhere, etc. I have to laugh and admire the quick thinking of these cosplayers for putting together these costumes so quickly.
I don’t mean to laugh at the incident. Violence at cons cannot be tolerated. The stabber did get arrested and charged with assault with a lethal weapon — it does sound serious.
From LA Times:
“Two friends had an argument and one guy ended up going to the hospital with a scratch near his eye.”
One of the men reportedly struck the other man near the eye with a pen. The man who suffered the cut near his eye reportedly asked to be examined at the hospital as a precaution.
Rumors circulating the internet of a fan stabbing another attendee in the eye over coveted seats, and of a victim clad in a ” Harry Potter T-shirt soaked in blood,” are inaccurate, according to authorities.
Look, it’s Obama and Sarah Palin, complete with their own security team. Wow, what perfect costumes! I did a big doubletake when I first saw this.
Photo taken at last weekend’s Comic-Con. Well done!
