Duct Tape Girl: Thumbs up!

Chainmail Dress Girl: Thumbs and eyebrows up!

Hoseface & Shovel Girl: Woot! Woot!

(Before flaming me, note that my approval went up in inverse proportion to the amount of skin showing, thanks)

Holy cow PWD; our lists are identical!

Some of those people -- I don't think they were in costume. They probably dress like that every day!

you're absolutly right! i was with the DK guys, and in fact a lot of them did say: "we're not in costume, we dress like this everyday." or something similar. it was a blast.

Who says people from BC can't get along with people from Ontario? (Now, those Albertans.... *grrr*)

Astonishing how much better constructed, detailed, and cleverly themed the guys costumes are.

Really quite a leap of quality level.

I wonder why?

The men certainly made a greater effort in their costumes... any guesses why ?

Any cool links full of ideas on how to make easy or cheap costumes ? Some of the costumes in the photos easily must have cost quite a bit.

Does anyone have photos from the GenCon costume contest? I'd like to see those.

Because we care more about fashion and put more effort into what we wear?

Well, with one or two noteable exceptions on both sides... For example, I thought this was a great costume...

IMO, the blue hair really makes the costume
