DragonCon 2009 Pics - Part Four
>> Tuesday, September 22, 2009
One last batch of DragonCon costume pics. These are the pics that were hard to classify, so we'll just call them "Around the Con."
Not the best picture, but there was a phalanx of Greek soldiers, ala 300, who put on a show in the Marriott one night. Hrm. A phalanx is Roman, isn't it? What's the word for that in Greek?
A great Red Queen in the costume contest. Once that Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland comes out, costumes like this are going to be everywhere.
I think that's the cheerleader in there. Is that a clue? Is she from Cinderella? Or am I getting that confused with Snow White? It's been a while since I've seen either movie.

Oh, wow. Well, if nothing else I could be a fairy godmother of some sort.
These really are something.
Awesome stuff. I don't know how I feel about Maleficent as a cheerleader though. Also, that historical costume looks a lot like Madame du Pompadour from Doctor Who "The Girl in the Fireplace."
This looks like so much fun.
@ Brian - Wendi reminds me that it is, indeed, a Madame du Pompadour costume. It was introduced as such in the Friday Night Costume Contest.
The cheerleader is some weird interpretation of Maleficent, the evil sorceress who shape shifts into a bad ass dragon (now why can't someone do THAT costume?) Below the character is shown again with Aurora's (Sleeping Beauty) three fairy godmothers. Maleficent is my favorite Disney villain. Trivia: The voice actress who played Maleficent also voiced the crystal ball talking head in Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion ride. :)
