Human Made versus Nature Made ColoUrs - Butter

Just like Chedder cheese, I wonder why human production purposefully over fakes the coloUring of the man made versions.  Individual slices of margarine and butter served at a cafeteria.

2012 SteamCon Hats

For a SteamPunk outfit, it is not necessary to have cogs or goggles to make it SteamPunk , in fact some times it isn't even logical (but sometimes it's alright to not be logical).  But what is required of a SteamPunk outfit is a HAT, or some sort of head fascinator.  

So this year at SteamCon I wanted to take a look at the hats that people wore.  FIY this year's SteamCon theme was Victorian Monsters, probably because it was during Halloween weekend, 

Top Hats

This hat is BIG

Her hat is covered with bridal tulle with colours that match her bright outfit

She's cookie monster (and she carried around cookies to give to people)

Top hat made of metal, with a Roses, and a working Clock

Creatures

A hunter is wearing her catch

Just a cute Lolita Fawn

Another young deer.

Fancy Gothic Elfling

Monster and Witches

Ok she doesn't have a hat, but her hair is just fascinating.  I guess I've seen and made CyberLoxs before, but because of the matching outfit, this really pops.

Spiky Helmet

Dark Witch

Who is she?  I looks familiar, kinda looks like a Witch from Madoka, but it's got to be something

Professions

Pilot

Garrison, didn't know her persona

A hood counts as a hat right?  I just love how this looks.  She could be wandering the desserts and shielding herself from the sand storms.

General

hand altered high society Hat

High Society Lady

Safari Hat

House of Wormwood

An artist who's hats seemed to pop up around the con.  Looking at her pieces 

I can tell why they are so popular

Ethic

She covers her head with a jeweled scarf.

Gypsies

2012 Aki Con

Quick Posting about my observations of Cosplay and Con of AkiCon 2012

Welcome to AkiCon, Anime convention in Bellevue WA, this year on Halloween weekend.

Final Fantasy, look at the details

Panty and Stocking. I can't imagine wearing that much body paint.  

Ok this was disturbing.  Artist Alley was in the garage.  A leaky garage.  I just wanted to cry at the thought that an artist at any time could get their merchandise ruined.

Shiro Lolita, oddly I really like the parking lot background to this photo, it provides such a contrast.

Pocky Stacking Competition, fun!

K, I don't know who they are, but their colour pallet really stands out and their outfits are really fascinating.  Although based on what they are holding, I'm wondering if they are Pokemon trainers

.

Lorax, LOL

Sailor Moon Cut out.  Instant Cosplay pictures?

Nyan Cat

Kingdom Hearts - Christmas Theme?

Dr. Slump, such a cutie

One thing I do like about Aki Con is the backdrop room in which you can take pictures with lots of themed backdrops.  They say due to crowd controls, these are really hard to put on in larger cons.

Such elegant outfits.  with those elegant snacks of hot dogs and Nacho Cheese.

Trophies for the competitions.  I love the pumpkins for Halloween.

Brave, Dea Star booth in Artist Alley

Crossplay is always fun.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica, her pose and expression are precise.  I just want rifles to fall out of her skirt now.

Some cosplay props made available to anyone to play with

Halloween Creepiness can be found

Xmen, I love her outfit

Batman, very well done

Pumpkin patch of different animes. 

Vocaloid, first time I've seen a plush version of the headphones

Hobbits!
