This Saturday I am going to London Super Comic Con. I'm rather excited as David Mack and Mahmud Asrar will be there. Well, there's lots of other people too but I am most excited about those two.
Last year I went as Jay Garrick, this year I am going as a Blue Lantern. Here is my costume, although I seem to have forgotten to include the ring in this arrangement, oops:
The belt may change, and I may wear a black top under the dress but that is basically it. Later this week I will attach the patch to the dress. I think I have worked out my makeup and hair.
I do of course have the Blue Lantern ring I got from the giveaway with Blackest Night a year or so ago. But, sacre bleu! There is a problem! Can you spot it?
The problem is that the design on the blue ring is not the Hope symbol. It's the Fear symbol. Pox pox pox pox a thousand poxes. And of course I just noticed this today. Le sigh.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
I have worked out how to get round it - I am going to wear a bit of yellow in my costume. Let's face it, hope is sometimes scary. Oh but how I wish the ring was the correct one. DAMMIT!
If you're at LSCC please do come and say hello. At last year's con I met Jennie who runs Fancy Dresscapades, and is going as Star Sapphire this year. We have agreed that we should get a joint photo. And if there are any other Lantern corps members there I am going to harass them for a photo.
I am going with a couple of friends and their daughter. They will be dressed as Clark Kent, Echo and possibly Catwoman or Batgirl - the daughter hasn't decided yet. I am really looking forward to next weekend. :)
