A few pictures from Providence Anime Conference!

Here's a few shots of the cosplay I debuted at PAC - my first steampunk design! I was inspired a by sm_matrix's steampunk mechanical doll and this steampunk aviator fairy from Dragon*Con that I saw last month, so, working off my Lolita Launchpad McQuack costume, I put together a clockwork fairy. I've just decided to name the persona "Cottingley," after

wow, you just can't leave the house without painting yourself orange, can you? :)

[idadebeautreux]

Yeah, pretty much. It's like I can't do a costume without slathering myself in SOME sort of makeup, either orange or white.

Further proof that I am way messed up. Hee.

I wanna do you!

Oooh baby, ooh baby :D

From this seed, this con will grow. :p

LOL, I got a D*C room against all odds yesterday.

I hope it will!! There are rumors that it will not happen next year, or that it will come back as an every-other-year sort of deal. I know that the New England Anime Society (which put on this event as well as Anime Boston) lost a LOT of money on this. They made their plans expecting to fill their 2000 person attendance cap, and instead had about 300 people show up. They lost money on just about everything - renting the convention center space, booking a block of rooms at the Westin, getting in guests... I think they were a little overambitious, and that they should have revised or reduced their expectations, planned for 1000 people at the most, and held the convention in a hotel space instead. After all, AAC, a small con in NH, is in at least it's 3rd year and it still hasn't topped 1000 people although it has grown every year, and is not hindered by the 21+ restriction
