so every now and then I hear someone mention our theme,
Vampires, Villians, and Vixens, and wondering how what or if, to do anything like that.
Please be sure that you are strongly encouraged to enter ANYTHING you want in ANY masquerade fashion show, hall costume etc....
Costume-Cons sometimes choose a theme, just for
a- fun ( cause that's the point right?)
b- marketing, it makes it easy to distinguish things from year to year
and gives us a focal point for art and flyers and that sort of thing
c- might put a few new ideas in the heads of folks who just can't decide what to make for any certain year.
All judging will be done in the traditional way. judges will never take the theme into account when making their decisions.
There WILL be best theme awards, and they will be totally seperate awards given out by myself and my co-chair
Marty " Uncle Vlad" Gear
We will give them out at any and all events where it might seem there is a winner. even the doll and quilt contests
There are times after all these years, that long time costumers like having a specific challenge put in front of them just to spark the ol creativity once in a while.
Of course the con itself is being run by a business ( Castle Blood) this year, not a club or a guild chapter.
75% at least of the concom have performed at the Castle at one time or another, so this also means it's easy for us to just drag out something from the closet to wear, and not take time away from running the con.
CC-13 Toronto ( which I had big fun at. boy I sure hope it goes there again someday )also had a horror style theme.
and if you add the numbers and letters in CC-27 up into one in the correct corrolations, it comes to 13 as well.
so we'll decorate up things in a vampy villanous way, making sure the vixens don't get left out, and it'll be big fun.
okay, that bit about 13, was pure BS, but t made you try to count it out for a sec, didn't it.
