I really, really, really, really wished I could go too. :( More so I could meet my friends in person though than meeting the TV stars.

Ummm...why, praytell? Have you got plans to blackmail me in person with footage of my last con's costume contest performance? :oops:

Too late. T'Poptarts has already threatened me with it. Everyone's seen it, though....my parents...my older kids...my husband... my coworkers. They all just rolled their eyes and made polite noises. (Except for my son. He went like :faint: )

No income potential there. Sorry. :roll: :lol:

Hey, if there's anyone who can give you a run for your money on public, noisy self-embarrassment, it's me.

I know, I know, my posts are so moderate and restrained, you'd never guess. But I am actually quite off-balance.

Hmmm...I could go as Ambassador V'Lar. Where do you get those ears, anyway? :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's flavored with passionfruit
an appropriate ingredient, don't you think?

I got mine in the costume shop like a block away from the zoo. And they're not even expensive there (at least they weren't when I bought them)

I wanna go to the con :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Evcake, you could try costume shops, but usually the elf ears they have are too large. I got a nice pair of Vulcan ears from a vendor at a con. But there are online sources. Try searching online using "Vulcan ears". For my Vulcan outfit I modified a Mongolian costumre that I bought at a costume shop. A Japanese costume might work very well too! My costume had muted colors, as Vulcans do not seem to go into loud colors. I just added Vulcan lettering to the over-vest. And, I found a cheap black hair wig and cut it to Vulcan style. Oh, I used green (witch) Halloween face paint and mixed it in with Human makeup that matched my skin tone. It gave a nice suggestion of green blood under that skin! Good luck with your V'Lar outfit!
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.
