Shore Leave 32 "Best Costume"

The winner of "Best Costume" in the costume contest at the Shore Leave 32 science fiction/fantasy convention, being escorted to the photo op spot by a con volunteer. When she first came out from behind the curtain in the actual competition, the entire audience all just collectively went, "WOW!" We were about halfway thru the competition at that point, and after she had been on-stage for all of about five seconds, I said to myself, "She's going to win best in show, it's a slam dunk -- I don't even need to see the rest of the entries." I was right... no one else was even remotely close. The wolf's jaw was attached to her own, so it moved when she talked, and the eyes glowed orange in the dark. During the review/judging process, she told the judges that it took her two years just to get the stilts right. Truly beautiful work.

Wow that was Monoyasha! I am glad that she won best costume she put a lot of work into it.

@packhunter01 Yes, it was, and I'm glad she won, too.  She did work hard on that, and it definitely showed.

Oh, you were Callisto? How neat to meet you again here! :-) I was the one who asked you and your boyfriend to take your picture, and after I did, he said wryly, "I think we can expect to hear that quite a bit this weekend.". ;-) If you want a copy of the photo, LMK.

My third Shore Leave, myself... I remember my own first SL and see how much more fun it is to be here with "XP". Hope you'll be here next year, too.

go Jess!

@marcyxworld - Hell, yes... you almost never see work that gorgeous. Jess did a fantastic job... can't remember her last name, unfortunately, but SL will post it soon enough, and when they do, I'll add it to the tags for the vid. She deserves all the recognition she gets and then some.
