Genderbent Saruman and an Uruk Kili and Fili, at your service! Elder Sauron preaching the Book of Morgoth (probably my favorite costume at the con. This cracked me up!)

Wow! Freddie these are awesome costumes. Everyone did a smashing job and they look so realistic, too. You make an awesome Elrond and Bilbo. Everyone's expressions were great. The look on Melkor's face and you look so peaceful and wise as Elrond. Thranduil looks rather pleased with himself. The genderbent Saruman is funny. These pictures made my day. Was this a whole group of your friends that dressed up and went together to Dragon Con? I wish I could go to one of the 'Cons' someday. Perhaps now that I am retired I will have time and mobility to do so. However, my husband would be horrified to go to something like that! LOL!

Wow, really like the attention to costume detail! What a fun group -- love the dragon! Third Age Sauron -- very clever!
Thanks!

I did go with a group of friends but, alas, they're not big Tolkien fans so they didn't go to the Evening at Bree. The Valar group were people from the Elf Choir and the other Tolkien panels. Not sure if they live close together or coordinated online. I know a few of them from the choir but we're just acquaintances that see each other at DragonCon. You should totally go to a con some time. It's so much fun! You're in Illinois, right? If you ever want to go to C2E2 (the big comics and pop culture con in Chicago), we could hang out. It's February 28-March 1 next year.

I would love too go with you. Perhaps Desi would, too. However, this coming January-February-March, I hope to be in Arizona visiting with Andorinha (not the whole time but at least some of that time!) My husband has now retired, and we are getting our new 5th wheel today and hope to go southwest for most of the winter! But let me know when the cons have dates and maybe I can go to one!
