ria_oaksStarting with wet slicked back hair and adding a lot of gel I have an aproximation of my hair for my Halloween costume:
Not exactly the most flattering picture, but I do look fairly boy-ish at least. :) Now I will find out if it stays that when when the hair dries... otherwise I will need to go buy more heavy-duty gel.
I am way too excited about this costume, guys. I was feeling sad yesterday when my Doctor costume struck out, and then I was going to borrowjedinic's trenchcoat and be Castiel, but I'm glad I found something I can do with stuff I either have or can fairly cheaply buy myself. Because then I can use it again for Emerald City Comic Con and/or Vancouver FanExpo and/or San Diego motherfucking Comic Con because I am hopefully going for real next year. If I get tickets.
I'm excited about ECCC, though - Walter Koenig is going (also Gillian Anderson and Patrick Stewart). I have still yet to ever meet a member of the Babylon 5 cast and I have always wanted to meet someone from it. Especially because they keep dying. :( Walter will always be Bester for me - I knew him as Bester years before I even learned he WAS on Star Trek, because I'd just never watched ST as a kid or teenager. I still haven't really watched it, other than a few of the movies (2, 4 and the new one). Some day I really ought to watch more of TOS and also the various spin-offs; I just never know which to start on because everyone gives me a different opinion. ;) It'll either be TNG or DS9 if I ever get around to it.
Also, I have a Very Important Question. I found this badge that someone made based on the badge Coulson wears in Avengers. Should I just print it out and wear it like that or should I replace the picture with one of me-as-Coulson?
And finally - a couple of cute post-NYCC panel interviews with Clark Gregg. First one is an official one, and second one is an unofficial bad-quality video taken from the convention floor (but def worth watching). He is generally adorable and awesome in both. :)
