Super Heroes!

A cadre of Supermen, Zorro, a very nice Wolverine, "V" from V for Vendetta, a hip-n-happenin' Buddy Christ, and finally...uh...The Greatest American Hero. Well, maybe not.

More unique costumes from DragonCon '06

A very nice Jack Skellington and Sally Stitches from The Nightmare Before Christmas; a very unique "Pimpin' Vader"; and a family of Sandpeople. The only reason I really included this last shot was because I thought the little Sand-baby was quite funny!

More costumed hotties

Yep, times they are a'changin'. Hotties like this need no longer be seen with mindless jocks. Instead they can boldy wear black leather, spandex & latex and hook-up with out-of-shape geeks who have no concept of hygiene and still live in their parent's basements. Heaven on Earth for the average Con Nerd! :-)

Slave Leias GALORE!!!!!

Every year the number of girls in Slave Leia costumes increases. Luckily, this year they seem to be of a much higher quality since some of them in years past have been a bit...well...not necessarily suited for the wearing of such a costume. And yes, that IS a Burger King stormtrooper in the center of the first picture. We couldn't figure that out either.

DragonCon babes

Need I say more? This ain't all, believe me. That Wonder Woman is one of the hottest things on two legs.

Crispy Vaders

Here is the first in a lengthy line of postings showing costumes from this year's DragonCon in Atlanta, which took place over Labor Day weekend. The first is some dude in a nice Darth Vader costume but without the helmet and with elaborate burn makeup. He's posing with Dave Prowse, the body builder who portrayed Vader in the Original "Star Wars" Trilogy. My only criticism of this costume is that the guy looks just a bit too happy considering he's singed beyond recognition. The second guy is in Vader makeup as he appears in "Return of the Jedi" after Luke has removed his mask...although this attempt looks a bit too much like Uncle Fester. Notice also that his right hand is cut off, with wires and mechanical stuff protruding from the stump.

"We are...RON BERGUNDY!"

In connection with my recent comments on Rick Lee's blog concerning my "weariness" over hearing about the 1970 Marshall University plane crash so much in the media recently, I thought I'd post this shot of my friend Ronn Smith who had the good fortune of being an extra during the shooting of "We are...Marshall!" in Huntington this past summer. Ronn furnished the jacket (Goodwill, $3.99) and the production furnished the shirt, tie, mustache and OH! So SMOOOOOTH sideburns!
