It’s 2:00am again and I’m still sleep deprived.
Yesterday was a BFD day for me. It was my first time cosplaying at a convention. I chose to dress up as my favorite comic book superhero/Norse God, Thor (I’m such a good little Norwegian). I put this costume together myself and even did some light sewing and scissor work to make it all happen. Aside from the fact that I couldn’t breath (this also marked my first time ever wearing a corset), I had fun dressing up. My sister-in-law is a makeup artist so she did the dramatic Thor makeup on me. I got a lot of compliments on my costume so I must have done something right 🙂
Just like yesterday this is just some preview pictures. I’ll do a full wrap up post after this weekend. I also have a fantastic interview with Rod Roddenberry to be uploaded/posted (thanks to those who submitted questions for him!) I apologize for not posting more pictures during the actual convention, the cell reception/internet is horrible and even trying to log on drains massive amounts of battery power. I did try!
Today is the last day…booo 🙁
But at least I’ll be able to sleep again 😉
Popi and puppy think you’re all having WAY too much fun…………………
Great pictures, great costume! You are so making me look forward to DragonCon in Atlanta (just a month and a half away now). Looks like you guys are having a great time – keep it up!
Great costume and you look great in it. Looks like your having a blast and can’t wait for your dull write up on it. Makes me more excited for NY Comic Con in October.
Full write up* not dull…stupid phone
I am now a fan of Thor.
Love it! So jealous, it looks like a bundle of fun. I was hoping to work my way up to San Diego Comic Con by trying Vancouver FanExpo and then Emerald City, but I failed at both this year. Working on the Mandalorian armour for next year….

I love that shirt that read, “Nerd Harder!”
This is awesome. Love the sense of life portrayed. And yeah, I hear corsets can fight hard against the natural urge to breathe 🙂
