My buddy Rick Stasi is always telling me I should attend Wizard World in Chicago, but I've been there and I seriously don't think I could do it. A Saturday at Kansas City's Planet Comicon is about all I can take. Sunday I tend to dress down, sit down, and have less patience with people.
Still, I came out of this one in much better physical, emotional, and financial shape than I have the previous two. I made back my table and then some. I gave away all my business cards, talked to some nice people, posed for a lot of pictures, shot a lot of pictures, and generally had a real good time.
I also got my Steampunk Poison Ivy costume done, FINALLY:

I was very happy with it. I don't think it screamed "Poison Ivy" at anyone. Some red hair might've helped, but I don't mind. A couple people got it right off; some others understood once they asked. My husband told me I looked hot, and that's what's important.
My husband, by the way, is the most wonderful, helpful, supportive person I've ever had in my life. I can't say it enough. I am in awe of his unending belief in me. I used to think I only needed someone who wouldn't get in my way, and maybe that could've been enough under other circumstances, but having someone who anticipates your needs and exceeds them at every turn... Well. I'll stop bragging.
There are plenty more photos in my Picasa Album. Enjoy!

So glad for you, on so many counts!
I wish I would have been able to stop by your booth at Planet Comicon, I could only attend Saturday and not for very long. I hope you had a good time and will be back next year so I can say hello! I love your work!
I love the steampunk Poison Ivy costume, and agree that you look spectacular. Congratulations on having a wonderful partner, who does so much more than just "staying out the of the way." I've felt this way as well, and agree wholeheartedly that having someone who actively helps you be your best self is priceless.
