ETA: Help me pick a Firefly email address! Since I won a prize in the Browncoats charity raffle (Ipod shuffle WOOHOO!) I also get a custom email address. Domains I can choose from are:

* yourname@SpecialHell.com

* yourname@JossIsBoss.com
* yourname@Gorramit.com
* yourname@HandsOfBlue.com

Any brilliant suggestions? Or should I just take caitlin@whichever?

I still haven't written my con report, but I figured people might like to see some pictures. Luckily, kelbebop has been linking to pictures of our Firefly Masquerade group as she finds them (that's sirrogue as Mal, me as Shindig Kaylee, scendan as Mechanic Kaylee, kelbebop as Zoe, _oy_ as Simon, and...any others with LJs?):

That was Saturday night. I wore the dress on Sunday as well (when I got the pic with Joss), and actually remembered to have people take pictures of me with my *own* camera:

Saturday day I was wearing my Zoe, but all the pictures I've seen of me are really assy so you don't get any. (I was wearing my glasses-- total no-no, but after so little sleep I couldn't face putting my contacts in.)

Friday I wore my Leia Senatorial with GINORMOUS HAIRBUNS. carbon_scoring kept saying how most people make them too small...so I erred on the side of HUGE. What I ended up doing was buying dark brown fake hair and a colored hairspray that matched, rather than trying to match my own hair (difficult with the limited selection at Sally Beauty). So I made the hairbuns separately by loosely twisting the hair and sewing it in a spiral, putting a hairnet over the whole thing, and sewing combs on the inside. Then I parted my hair down the middle, pin-curled my stubby pigtails down flat, sprayed my whole head with the brown hairspray, and then hooked each hairbun in above the pincurls, bobby-pinning the edges down. Worked really well, at least in person. In photos the color difference is more pronounced. But I think I'll make the buns a bit smaller for next time. Pictures, courtesy of Paul Ens:

And Thursday was my Sith Cheerleader. The only picture I have is the one Bonnie took:

And then Wednesday night I was in civvies. Well, I was wearing my Star Wars: Musical Edition T-shirt, but it wasn't a costume.
