SHADOCON

Yes unless you are not to great with the public speaking thing....
Hence stage hands!
I always wanted to try that out, I think I'd like to do that for a play, 'cause cons are way to crazy and people get angery and scary sometimes XD
Just waiting in line for the rave as a con goer can be scary at times.... forget about directing people and such for a contest!
I think I'd like to work on making sure props and things are in the right place, and letting people konw when to go on and such...... but maybe I am seeing it thought rose-color galsses, reality is always a bit harsher..... like being crush by someone's furry suit, or breaking something important.

(why did I post this again @_@)
((Oh yha because I can't choose a topic for my research essay -_-'))

lol the only costume contests i was ever in were at school, totally won twice XD but that was also in high school and i was probably the only person in the club gifted with a seemstress as a mother XD

Except now having your mother make your costume to enter won't fly!!!


In any case, I have all the contest details done and up on MyConsOnline, but I don't know how to find them. =-.-=;; I hope it's posted on the site soon!

well ive always been involved with it im not gonna just fling a picture at my mom and say here ya go make me that. i pick the fabric and threads, i generally make the accesories myself, and i usually help with the construction of the outfit itself, moms just the one who can run the sewing machine, shes teaching me to use it so eventually ill be doing them myself.

The general rule is that you have to have had made around 90% of the costume yourself.

This exactly. ESPECIALLY the base sewing. Help is fine, but the contestant needs to have made most of the costume themselves.

well like i said it was high school club stuff. besides how else can i better advertise for my mother's commisionability than by being a walking billboard?
as of new stuff havent had any in a while anything new i am getting im learning to make. probably wont have anything done 90% myself for a while until ive got the swing of things, but there will be a day when that happens im sure. watch out cosplay world here i come XP
