Costume for Continuum 5

This is a picture of me in my costume for Continuum 5. My friend Julia made the skirt, adjusted the corset design, made all sorts of wonderful suggestions for jewellery etc. The pale make up looks very harsh here, but in the low lighting of the venue I'm told it looked pretty good. I don't think this picture does justice to how I think I looked. I don't normally feel like I'm very striking, but I very much felt striking and sexy in this outfit. I received many many comments, and also more than a passing inspection of my decolletage. I wasn't bothered by that. Frankly, I was a bit mesmerised by it myself.

Anyway, thank you to my friends who helped with the costume, and thanks to Continuum for giving me an excuse to dress up and have so much fun.



My feet hurt a lot now. But it was very much worth it.

Tomorrow - my guest of honour speech, a reading and a panel about fanfic. Should be more fun! :-)

you look stunning.

Hopefully there will be photos from the ball? I don't ask for much, do I.

Hope your feet have recovered from the high heels by the time you read this.

Someone took some official photos with proper equipment and everything - as soon as the pics are available I'll grab some and post them! I didn't take photos myself but I'm hoping some others will volunteer to share theirs.

My friend Julia did a stupendous job with the costume. I will make sure she knows how well it worked and how much everyone likes it! :-)

Striking, indeed! In that pose, you look ready to command a demon army.

Heh heh. I was dressed as Magdalene, the vampire proprietress of the vampire club, The Gold Bug. She does not put up with any rannygazoo!
