The Cosplay Kids - Noel Kreiss and Hope Esteim
Ahsoka
In our house, geek chic is a lifestyle choice. Our living room has framed Boba Fett artwork from Star Wars Celebration VI and VII. Our family room has a collection of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter replicas on display, swords and wands, respectively. And our closets are no exception. Costumes are a big thing. And I'm not talking about Halloween costumes either. Halloween is just a bonus day. I call it "Nerd in Public Day." I get to wear my costumes to the grocery store and to my sons' schools instead of to a convention or a Rebel Legion charity event. Costumes are a way of life for my husband and me.
Becoming Leela from Futurama
Sara Tristan
If you are a Futurama fan like me, then you have to appreciate the great Leela. She's brave, smart, and best of all, doesn't take any crap from anyone. I just love her character so when the time presented itself to participate in a costume contest, I chose to create my own Leela costume.
This DIY costume is pretty easy and the materials can probably be found around your house right now. If not, a quick run to your local Target or Walmart will suffice.
