Thursday, my younger daughter as Girl Han Solo. She made the holster herself and I made the vest. And yes Chewbacca is the backpack. The vest was made from an old Danier leather skirt that I no longer fit into, but now has a new life.
On Friday, older daughter went as a vault dweller from the video game Fallout. She did all the work on this herself. The jumpsuit was a German army surplus item which she reworked completely. I should have gotten a picture from the back as she did an awesome job appliqueing on some numbers. I was completely impressed.
Saturday, Elesh Norn was introduced to her adoring fans, and adoring they were. The photo requests were pretty non-stop. She had her imperious pose down pat and tried not to smile. We realized some pointy teeth would have been a good idea as her normal teeth had something of a doggy denture effect. At one point Wolverine challenged her to a fight that ended in a blaze of flashbulbs.
And that left Sunday. Here she is as almost the polar opposite of what she was on Saturday. From thorny and bloody wrapped in a hard shell to soft and pink and girly to the extreme as the Lolita version of Princess Bubblegum. This was a combined effort of both of us.
She's already talking about next year's Fan Expo and thinking about costumes. I think I may have to do the same.
