Boston Comic Con 2014

I had a pretty uneventful comic con this year. My sister and I only went for Friday because of a historical weekend in Nahant which we attended Saturday and Sunday.

But anyways, Boston Comic Con was fun, even though we only went the one day. I wore my Blue Beetle dress that I had made for my first Comic Con, while my sister wore a hipster-esque Superman ensemble. I was really distressed because I cannot for the life of me find the over skirt from my dress. In all it was pretty uneventful, so here's a picture dump.

Antonia, in all her hipster glory.

Got some (more) books signed by my favorite comic writer, Mark Waid

There's a cute little park near the convention center where we took pictures.

Had a very small haul this year. Mostly bombshell variants and Booster Gold.

The best time to wear a sweater... Is all the time

I'm busy sewing for next month (as people who follow my twitter know, I'm gonna be at Pax East this year), so I don't have much stuff documented. But here's something from the vault 'cause I was never really happy with the pictures we got about it.

we took this at our (historical) dance rehearsal, so we were stuck with a hideous yellow background

My sister, her friend Raven, and I all have mostly matching sweaters. If you've seen us at Comicazi (we usually go on sundays), one of us was probably wearing one. I think mine is just the best thing because it's really soft and warm because it's so big. Though I am jealous of the others because I like the stripes on the sleeves.

what has Julia been up to?

I've mostly been shopping. My sister and Raven want to do a pin-ups and comic books photoshoot, but I found something to add:

Why not have some pictures of cute pin-up girls playing a cute retro board game? (I'm wondering how many people actually remember this movie. It was basically Jumanji in space.)

I also designed some custom fabric:

I made hair bows with the samples I ordered (and decided to brighten the yellow a bit)

and I might have bought myself some valentines candy because of the boxes.
