furtechFoster's Home For Imaginary Friends, featuring appearances by Cheese and Blake Superior!
I made Blake Superior (a Foster's Home villain of sorts) and Eduardo, the purple, potato-eating monster. Wayne-sama made incredible puppet-versions of Wilt and Coco (his Coco is Fabulous!), plus a stand-in Bloo and Cheese. Mich and Kim made Bloo and Cheese and Mac and Richie Wildebrat and Lydia made Frankie. Henry did a fantastic job on the soundtrack!
The last of the Big Three was the 64th World Science Fiction Convention in Los Angeles. LAcon IV was *huge*. (More on the con itself later...) Mich and Kim *reeeeealy* wanted to pull off a "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends" group and LAcon seemed the perfect venue for this. Perfect for me, too-- Eduardo is a logistical nightmare.
I'll go into construction stories later...but for now I'll say that I had a ton-O-fun doing this costume set. We made a lot of little kids *very* happy, especially when we put in an appearance at the kid's programming room (which was amazing and I'll go into in another post). They adored us!
Here's a much better picture of the group (linked because everyone's already seen this one)
Here are pics of Blake Superior, with Mich as Richie:
I definitely over-committed this year: three (technically five) different costumes for three major masquerades (CostumeCon, AX and Worldcon). I have one major costume to finish up and then it's time for a long rest.

oh I've been talking to the rest of the crew and if you want to sack the burnt croissant and use it to make other stuff, feel free. Or we can talk more about that in Emails.

Hope the rest of life is treating you just as well, pal. And I also hope to catch up with you again one of these days.
