Dragon*Con 2011, you got WDMs!

Indeed. I spotted tall, dark, and gorgeous in the lobby Friday afternoon, stopped right in my tracks to whip out the camera. Wow.
My picture is not the best, so doesn't do him justice here, the costume is fantastic. And since I was having a black and gold thing going with my own costumes, I was really into that color scheme, so thought it was extra-yummy.

I love the mask, the hat (you know I love the hat, knowing how I feel about hats, and a gorgeous black top hat was part of my costume the next day!), the coat, the everything. And I'll be tracking down more pics of everything our boy is wearing, because it turns out I know him! No idea at the time.

Also, to add a teeny note here about character and attitude... It's not always only about what you wear, guys, but also how you wear it. Not only was this guy wearing something bad ass, he owned it. Damn cool swagger that we give a two thumbs up.
Whether it's costuming or everyday wear, just try to find something you enjoy, are comfortable in, and with confidence just have a great time with it. You'll look great!


I love cons.

Costuming and Cosplay - Dusted

I have no idea who this boy is, or what exactly he's playing, if anything specific at all, but everything he's doing here is gorgeous. Including himself. :D

*squee*
It's a CyberSteamishVictoriany punkish thing. I wish I had more detailed pics of this! I'd like a closeup of that vest, it looks to have a lovely pattern on it. And the striped tie pulls that whole top part together. And the pants!
I also consider this a hair post, because I LOVE the styling here. I feel like it's a little cyberpunkish, too. Wish I had detail of all the stuff he's got going on in there.
Also, he's doing extra nice things by having accessories, the gloves, the watch, the goggles.

Put your eyes on this lovely male and enjoy. And I do know some fellow geek girls whose jaws are gonna drop when they see this guy, so I suggest you ladies put your bibs on first!

Gary Oldman

The two smartest things Gary Oldman has ever done...

#1

Say "yes" to Luc Besson. And proceed to go in front of the camera and lose his sh*t for 110 minutes in a brilliantly bizarre and belief-defying performance in a little flick we like to call The Professional.

#2

Put this outfit on:

Whew. Hey, have I talked about how much I love this period for menswear? And silvers and grays? And top hats? And Gary Oldman?
Plus, the fact that I've seen this cosplay a lot at cons, knowing how difficult it often is to find boys who like to play dress up, says tons.







Okay, five things:
#3 Immortal Beloved, #4 Fifth Element (again saying yes to Luc Besson),
#5 Romeo is Bleeding

Yup!!!

On The Runway

I wonder if Ermenegildo Zegna has done much costuming for films. Cause he should. I love the layering here, and the colors. Wish I had closeups of these!!

Seen on the runway during India fashion week. I wouldn't have ever thought to pair that tie with that jacket. But I like it, and especially the jacket. They picked the right model for this look, too. I wish I knew who this designer was!
