Fan Expo 2013

 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.
