anotheranonMore Costume Con stuff: the Future Fashion Folio is a booklet of designs by CC attendees that can be made for yet another competition. Emphasis is on fashion over costume - it has to be "wearable" and believable.
Lord of the Rings is one of the themes for the FFF this year (big surprise!) and some of the designs are quite amusing. There's an Elven pirate (waiting for sighs of rapture from the Bloom-fangirl gallery ;) ) but the best, IMHO is the "Futuristic Ring Wraith", less for the design itself, but for the description: "It's the ultimate Hell's Angel - a Nazgul mounted on a motorcycle. No ordinary bike though: he rides a SAURON MORDOR ALL UTILITY GRINDER (SMAUG), forged in the armories of Barad-dur"...
I find it equally amusing that one of the more flamboyant designers last year is described as a "perpetrator" rather than costumer :P Sewing as offensive art?

I might try for next year -- I really need to check out the SickPups but without any costuming projects actually DONE, I feel sort of silly even trying.

I have to say that competing last year (even with th bird-butt) was the highlight of my con experience!
