/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Had a great time at this years Dragoncon. The boots sucked but I have since finished a better replacement pair.

Already in the process, now that I have time, of re-doing the boots. Used china cosplay boots that I repainted and they were horrible. Have some actual boots in the mail that im going to start with.

My group stayed at the Doubletree this year and it was nice. It was only a block away so it was close enough that the walk was short, and far enough away to avoid the major crowds. I had a great time. My biggest issue was the boots I had for my costume, they were last minute premade boots that I had painted. The first issue is that they were tighter in the toes then I thought when I had tried them on originally. The second issue was the yellow paint I used didnt set for whatever reason. I went through a ton of clearcoat but the stickyness still ended up bleeding through. They pretty much have the texture of the lint roller things and are completely disgusting now.
>Best Moment
There was a really cute group of Madoka Magica cosplayers in line for the vender hall on the second day that I met, they got a pic with me but because they were in line I didnt have time to get a picture.
>Worst Moment
My boots were soo uncomfortable I ended up staying in most of sunday because of how bad my feet were hurting.
