Dragon Con 2012

This year was my first time going to Dragon Con. Although it was exhausting, I had a great time. I definitely plan on going again next year.
Me and Justean

She's feeling zombified. Justean, I think you need medical attention.

Getting strangled by my demon friend. 

I had to. haha

I tried on two authentic steel boned corsets. I originally wanted the underbust (since they're versatile), but the overbust looks really good too.  I'd like to order one for birthday or Christmas. Which one do you guys like better on me?
 or

I did a lot of shopping, but I didn't actually buy anything. :(  However, I did get some cool pictures.
The Goblin King!  

Dr. Rockzos (Metalocalypse)

I'm not sure who it's supposed to be, but I thought it was very interesting.

Guess What! I shook Nelsan Ellis' (Lafeyette from Trueblood's hand)! I love the show (I've only watched up to the 3rd season so far), and Lafayette is my favorite character.

 While I was roaming around, I happened to see Voltaire and Rogue (Cruxshadows) just walking around. I also talked to a guy who gave me his band's EP, "If Only Boris Karloff Was My Dad" I listened to it, and it's really good! The Long Losts has a page on Facebook, so go check it out and hit the 'Like' button.

While I was there, I wanted to donate blood. So Justean begrudgingly did it with me. :D  We both donated a pint. Afterwards we got free t-shirts, free snacks, and a pin that says, "I fed a Vampyre Baby."
 Vamplets sponsored the blood drive. They also had a booth were they were selling their dolls. You can visit their website here.

After leaving, Justean and I got terribly lost on the way home before I figured out The GPS was still in the car...-facepalm- We picked up my friend Jessica and roasted hot dogs and s'mores over the fire pit in my backyard. This is one of my favorite activities (especially in the Fall). Well, that's that. ;)

    It sounds like you had alot of fun~ ;D I wish I lived closer to Dragon-con. Anyway, your outfit is very cute, I especially like your hairstyle. I think the overbust corset looks really nice.
    I can't donate blood because I'm anemic, but that pin is just so cute~

      Thank you! This is the first time donating my blood. The last time I went, my hemoglobin count was too low.

    Gah,that Jareth costume is too awesome.(Maybe I'm just too big a Labyrinth fan.)

    I hope I can someday make it over to Dragon Con. Looks like lots of fun.

    1. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD, YOU MET JARETH!;D
    2. You look so pretty in both those corsets! I think I like the overbust one just a tad bit more. I love your outfit without the corset too!
    3. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD, YOU FEED A VAMPYRE BABY! You're so brave...I have such needlephobia I get queasy just thinking about donating. It's a great thing to do though.

      Looking back at the pics, the overbust does seem to suit me better.
      Most people I know hate needles. They don't bother me for some reason. I even watched them put the needle into my skin...Maybe I'm just weird. haha

      Almost fainted when I read "watched them put the needle into my skin..." They creep me out!!You're not weird though! My friend has to get blood drawn all the time, and once she had a really inexperienced nurse do it who forgot to screw the IV bag onto the end of the needle, so the blood was siphoning out of her arm and squirting everywhere. The nurse freaked out and my friend laughed. :/

      Oh wow...That nurse was probably put on probation. I'm surprised, they get a lot of training.

    That underbust it's just amazing, good choice.
    If it is your first steel boned, go for the underbust, it's much more confortable, cause of the chest.

    I wish i had events like that here

    You have a beautiful face that was meant for a lovely dark tale!
    And how your hair treats and frames your face is enviable! Urgh! ;)
    I really hope to visit one of these cons that seem to happen frequently... I feel I am missing out on a neat experience.

      Thank you for the unique compliments! If you get the chance to go to a con, seize the opportunity. They're a lot of fun. :)

Halloween Update: A Change of Plans

So everyone, I am a little disappointed to say that my Marie Antoinette costume is not a go this year. There has been so much piling up on me between things in my personal life, work, and school, that I have been unable to find the time to get the rest of my costume together. I bit off more than I could chew this year, but I know for next time to plan better. Perhaps you'll see the Queen next year... Although I will not be doing Marie Antoinette, I do have something planned that I can easily do with what I have! I will be using my red dress, a hat, roses, black lace and accessories, and of course some creative make-up, to throw together a Día de los Muertos costume. I think it might even be a better option this year, as I plan on visiting my aunt's house who has decorated her home in a  "Dead Hat Society" theme this year. If you don't remember the aunt to whom I am referring, here is the link to my post about her house.  I will take pictures! It's really spe

My Birthday!

Today (November 9th) was officially my 19th birthday! (It is also Dorian Gray's birthday.) Jessica, Justean, and I took a trip up to the beautiful Blue Ridge, Georgia to go see Frankenweenie at the Swan Drive-In Theater. This was my first time going to a drive-in. They're very rare where I live, and Swan was highly recommended by my aunt. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of my little celebration. The movie and the whole drive in experience were wonderful, and even the car ride was far from dull. Aside from the fact that I nearly got us killed on the drive up, I enjoyed being vulgar, singing badly, and laughing maniacally with my friends in the car.  Official Website The famous Blue Ridge Mountains. The beautiful Jessica I don't really know what to say...Justean's enjoying her funnel cake? Derp This is Cocoon Justean. This movie was so cute! It was pretty cold out tonight, at least to us, since we could see our breath. Taking the conver

My First Ghost Tour

source As you probably know, I'm now officially a ghostly tour guide in my town! I'm so happy about this. What were the chances of me finding a job where I get paid to be creepy and tell ghost stories?  Before tonight, I was a ghost tour virgin. I was a little nervous at first, but life has prepared me for public speaking since I've been on stage and done presentations before. Overall, I think it went pretty well. I had an unusually large group (19 people) of mostly serious older adults who appreciated the history more than anything else. My walking cane even broke a few times, there were 4 or 5 trains to go by during the tour (which is irritating), and my new shoes rubbed my heels raw. Despite all that, everyone seemed to have a good time and I even creeped a few people out! Here's what I wore minus the Top hat: I love my little coffin locket. :) And for your listening enjoyment:
