Captain Martin Crieff

 This may have been one of the simpler costumes to put together and the least recognized but I think it was my favorite. For the uninitiated  this costume is from a BBC Radio 4 comedy called Cabin Pressure.  It is wonderfully funny and well written. I'm hoping next year I may have a few of the other characters to cosplay with. I didn't get to wear this one for long but I do plan on bringing it back for next years Dragon*Con.

 Most of this costume, the jacket, shirt and tie, came from the thrift store. I added the captains stripes to the sleeves. The hat was a great find on etsy, it's from WWII.  I tracked the blue ribbon on and found the pin on clearence at Michaels. The pants are from my phantom costume.The bear polar was the first Snowy for my Tintin costume but was never used.

Some of these pictures are from home when the costume hadn't been finished. I also had with me the aviator glasses and a Toblarone but I don't have any pictures of me with those items in hand.

For Dragon*Con I ended up going with the first shirt I bought for the costume, mostly because it was cotton, but also I have lost enough weight that it looks much better now.  I really had a blast  doing the photo shoot with the other Amy's, I hope we do it again next year. These photo's where taken by Christa Newman.

 I wore this costume more then any other at Dragon*Con this year I had such a blast being John with my fellow Sherlockien friends.  Really the only things that changed between Dragon*con and Time Gate  were the jumper and the wig.

 I finished the jumper (although as soon as my wrist is mended I'll be redoing one of the sleeves) and I dyed and trimmed the wig. I'll be looking for a different wig for sure but it looked a bit less Draco Malfoy at least. I also need to find a new pair of jeans, these ones where comicly to large and nearly fell off a few times.

   I really loved this costume and I'll be wearing it again for sure.

breaking the silence

 I am so sorry for the lack of posts before and after Dragon*Con. I don't have any excuses for before but my after one is pretty good. On the way home from the D*C I was in a car accident and broke my wrist, it's still not mended  but it's better now so I'll be updating this with some finished costumes and some of my plans for future ones.
