Flickr user pausetivespace took this amazing photo1 of her friends dressed as Merryweather, Princess Aurora and Fauna at at the Georgia Aquarium during Dragon*Con Night 2009. (She herself was, of course, dressed as Flora.)
You really have to click through and check out the larger sizes to see it in all its glory.

LA Opera Costume Shop Sale

SUQEE!
Yelp has the details:
You’ve seen them on stage — now you can have an LA Opera costume of your very own! Wear it for Halloween, wear it to work, wear it around the house, wear it where ever you want because it’s yours!
For the first time ever, LA Opera will be doing a little fall cleaning to make room for new costumes, and will be selling gowns, hats, gloves, shoes, capes, coats, bodices, and complete ensembles from its costume shop located in downtown Los Angeles. You can purchase costumes and accessories priced $5-$250 from your favorite LA Opera productions like La Traviata, Carmen, Don Giovanni, The Fly, and more.
Parking is available across the street in the Little Toyko Shopping Center.
I’ll see you there!

Nerdiest Dog Ever
by thatbaldguy on 28 Aug 2009 at 02:10:50, under culture
S/he kinda looks like s/he’s been caught in the act. I’d be embarrassed too, but it’s totally understandable. Four beers is a lot for a dog, and would, I imagine, lead to a slight deficit in good sense. Heck, leave me alone with a bottle of rum, some strategically placed cardboard and packing tape, and TOS running on the tube, and see what you come back to.

Road Warrior Weekend
by thatbaldguy on 17 Feb 2009 at 20:18:01, under culture
What are you doing on the weekend before Thanksgiving? I mean, you’ll have been to Seattle Steamcon in October, then there’s Halloween, the high holy day of the internet, and it’s always tough going cold turkey off the cosplay. I’m hoping to get my fix at the Road Warrior Weekend [sound warning] hosted by the delightful Scarlett Harlott. Word has it the Death Guild will be bringing their Thunder Dome and all.
And dig that tag line: Kinda like a post-apocalyptic Burning Man…without the hippies!

I’m pretty sure I’ll be there, with bells on…my arse-less leather chaps.

Star Trek Inspired Corset

Talk about two great tastes that go great together, Etsy maker EveningArwen has a Star Trek TOS-inspired corset available.
Because they can, that’s why.

First Ever Edwardian Ball in Los Angeles
by thatbaldguy on 12 Jan 2009 at 20:00:07, under culture
You know, I’ve heard about this Edwardian Ball thing from a number of people, and I always thought, “Well, if they really wanted me to go, they’d hold it in Los Angeles. I loves me a costume ball, but San Francisco is a fair ways away, but I’ve got mouths to feed.”
As if the fine organizers of the event heard my thoughts (which is kinda creepy) I find that The Edwardian Ball is in fact coming to Los Angeles in just a few weeks!
The Edwardian Ball Los Angeles – a splendid San Francisco tradition flies south for the winter, presenting an elegant, turn of the century celebration of music, theatre, dance, circus arts, DJs, ballroom dance, fashion, technology, and of course, the art and stories of Edward Gorey. Held in the historic Tower Theater, and hosted by LA’s own big top phenomenon Cirque Berzerk in partnership with Edwardian Ball co-creators Rosin Coven and Vau de Vire Society, the night promises an unforgettable blend of audience and performance with humor, darkness, and style. Also featuring Helios Jive, DJ Xian, Jill Tracy, Miz Margo, Dark Garden Corsetry, and many special guests.
