You know, I just can’t get enough Star Wars dancing, so I thought I’d post this awesome Star Wars Dance Off video from last May. This was during the 2009 Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
This year they danced to ’90s music. Heh, so cool!
Fanime Con just wrapped up on Memorial Day weekend (May 22 through May 25). It’s the largest anime convention in Northern California, with over 10,000 attendees who enjoy the world of Japanese animation and related arts.
Fanime offers live concerts, engaging panels, competitions, video screenings of anime and Asian cinema, plus guests of honor from around the world. Oh, and plenty of costumed characters, of course.
The Naruto Konan-inspired costume above is rather impressive as it’s made almost entirely of paper, from the wings and coat to the paper rose in the young lady’s hair. It’s a fitting tribute to the female ninja (Konan) of the Akatsuki who can create ninjutsu out of paper.
The Slave Leia metal bikini costume is arguably the sexiest, most iconic costume in the history of scifi/fantasy costuming.
And thanks to the Slave Leia Appreciation Society, you can view a gallery of hundreds of Slave Leia costume photos on Flickr. Awesome! Ah, such lovely ladies. This costume will never get old.
Wow, Newsweek has published an incredible gallery featuring rare photos of early Star Trek conventions in the 1970s!
I love the old school look and feel of these events, and the costumes are awesome! The original Star Trek fans successfully fought to save their show. They kept Trek alive, and they started the entire fan convention phenomena. Geeks around the world owe a lot to these passionate fans. Truly amazing and wonderful people!
The 27th annual Costume-Con just wrapped up Timonium, Maryland. This year’s theme was “Vampires, Villains & Vixens.” Sounds completely awesome. The Costume-Con offers costume workshops, competitions and of lots of fun socializing.
Lots of great photos are showing up on Flickr. Looks like a really classy event full of supremely talented costumers. Well done!
To celebrate the new Star Trek movie, MSNBC has posted a fun gallery of fan-submitted Star Trek costumes! It looks like a mix of homemade, commercial and Star Trek Experience costumes.
These are really great. I bet movie theaters will be full of fans dressed in Star Trek costumes this weekend, it will be a total blast!
New York Comic Con 2009 took place last weekend, and thousands of geeky costume lovers swarmed the halls dressed as superheroes, Star Trek, Star Wars and Anime characters.
Lots of great photos are appearing on the Flickr Group. Now that everyone is home and uploading their photos, that Flickr Pool is growing fast with fabulous costume pictures!
Here are a few photos from the Con. Looks like a fantastic time.
