Nerds of a Feather...

[aelia]

Yes, I live in a family of geeks, nerds and weirdos. Wouldn't have it any other way!

Supernova was today - which is a big anime/Sci-fi/pop culture con, if it weren't obvious enough - and my sister and I got talked into cosplaying as two incarnations of Rei from Neon GenesisEvangelion.

Bother of course wanted to get into the action, but chose instead to go as Turniphead from Howl's Moving Castle. Let it not be said that the boy has no taste!


Us at the beginning of the day.



Us up on stage..somewhat dishevaled after seven hours!



Sister's purchase of the day!



Bother and Howl. Howl's hair is sucky and needs to be MOAR POOFY!



Turniphead again with some Halo folks. You have no idea how disconcerting it was to have a female voice come from the Sangelli. SHe was awesome!



Mini Rei and Darth Vader. All kinds of epic!

And I cannot begin to express how fucking amazing my mother is for not only voluntarily putting mine and sister's together, but throwing Turniphead's together in less then 24 hours and coming with us :D

Your little sister and Mister Darth make an awesome picture. Of course you look adorable!
and personally, I would have gone as a Dalek. toilet plunger+cardboard+paint=simplicity

It is my fondest wish to trundle along down some busy street in the city wearing a Darlek costume while scaring the innocents by screaming EXTERMINATE! at every second person.

Me too! Waving that toilet plunger threateningly, mmhm. (:

Ooh! The Halo costumes are excellent!
Also right on to your brother, I'd never think to go as Turniphead!
Ten bets that picture of your sister and Darth Vader is going to be her favorite picture as an adult. It's so adorable!

There was quite a few of the human Halo guys running about (Spartans? I'm not familiar with Halo terms, unlike my bother there :D) She was roasting in that costume though.

Bother always comes up with awesome people to go as. He went as Ford Prefect to his school book week dress up, and as Lego characters for another thing.

Happy birthday for...yesterday?

That Darth Vader pic is the best, although I loooove your brother's costume. Just like Turniphead!

(I can't really remember Evangelion, but your outfits look pretty cool too!)

Hee, yeah my birthday was on the 11th :D Thanks :D

I can't believe that the costume that we literally threw together in less then a day for Bother was the biggest hit out of all of us :D
