A stunning Rinoa from Final Fantasy VIII graced us with her presence at Ottawa Geek Market. Costume by Mysticfae Art and Costumes.
stuffed TARDIS
The Queen of Hearts
Jasmine Murray-Bergquist designed and created this costume in a matter of days! (Hours?) Super talented!
I think she’s saying “Off with her head!” Yikes!
Combination
An interesting combination of costumes at the Ottawa Geek Market back in April: the human muscular system and Attack on Titan’s Mikasa. It works for me, though!
Edited: the human muscular system is apparently a colossal titan from Attack on Titan. The more you know! Not such an unusual combination after all!
Little Rey
One of the first costumes we saw on the Friday of Ottawa Comic Con was this one, and did it ever start the weekend off right! She’s perfect!
Come out to CON Creative Ottawa Nerds tomorrow!! You are completely welcome to cosplay, and the crocheted TARDIS will be available for pictures. 😀
Favourites!!
I (Jen) wasn’t at Geek Market on the Saturday because of exams and pregnancy, so many of these pictures are a complete surprise to me. This is one of them – I actually squeaked with excitement when I opened it to edit it today. Honey Lemon and Baymax!! So perfect!
Ming-Na Wen
We asked Ming-Na if she wanted to have a part in the live-action Mulan that Disney is doing. She replied with a very enthusiastic YES! I said that it was too bad that there weren’t more female roles, and she said she’d be happy to play Mulan’s mother. I think she could pull off Mulan herself, personally. Follow Ming-Na on Twitter here. She’s awesome!
My costume was borrowed from the talented Mysticfae sisters. I wasn’t wearing the wig yet because I didn’t know how to put it on. I loved being the mother of dragons for half a day!
Also, don’t forget that CON Creative Ottawa Nerds‘ craft fair is coming up fast – one week from tomorrow! Who’s excited? Who’s coming to check out the amazing vendors? Have you been having fun guessing who the vendors are each day?
Michelle Gomez
Michelle Gomez was a delight to meet! We asked her what she enjoyed about playing the role of Missy, and she said “Everything! It’s so much fun!”
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for CON Creative Ottawa Nerds‘ craft fair! It’s coming up fast, on Saturday, June 11!
Will Friedle
We got to meet some amazing people last weekend at Ottawa Comic Con, and none more so than Will Friedle (Twitter). He was so great with the woman ahead of us in line, who told him that she had a major crush on him when she was growing up. “That’s adorable!” he replied, all smiles. I love when actors are so amazing with their fans.
And OUR interaction with him. Oh wow. I was wearing the shirt that my sister designed for me (Geeklet on Board), and the “d” at the end is comprised of a pencil and a d20, to represent our love of D&D. Will got all excited about the d20, and asked if we watched Critical Role, which we have not yet. Apparently he is a guest star in the show. I want to see it even more now.
I also explained why I was wearing the shirt, and he got all excited that we are expecting. He said “And how is little Will treating you today?” I said the first name that popped into my head at this point: “Actually, Wilhelmina is treating me quite well.” Then I quickly corrected myself, explaining that we were NOT going to name her Wilhelmina, but that I couldn’t come up with another female ‘Will’ name. So he asked our name possibilities, and pulled a d20 out from his pocket! He rolled for each one, and the results were all really low. Maybe we’ll see her and end up naming her something completely different! I have no idea. (We have since thought of one: Willow! What do you think Will? What does the dice say? Update: Will says that the dice rolled a 19!)
He also asked how long we’ve been married, and said congratulations when he heard that it was almost 7 years. He’s getting married on September 25, 2016. I wish him happiness and joy!
We also managed to squeeze two pictures in with the TARDIS. Will was a real pleasure to meet. I highly recommend going to see him at any and all conventions you go to!
I love his face in this one!
