Sekrit LAConIV masquerade entry!

Foster'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.

Your Eduardo is to die for. He came out utterly adorable and those big staring eyes just do it! LOVE your stuff, and I'm astounded at how easily you can switch up your styles!

I'm all for trying new styles...that's why I never tried to make a profession out of costume-making: most people would just want clones of Shen or the werewolf (not that more werewolves is a bad thing) and I wouldn't be able to try new stuff. I like new stuff. And I can still always do a werewolf if I want to!
