Some of Kevin's Indubitably Dubious Duds

[IMG] Ares + silver Arabesques

[IMG] ooh! a light background might help!

[IMG] The infamous harem boy costume

[IMG] Resplendent in rhinestones and PVC

[IMG] The redeye is from the flash; the bags are from keeping convention hours

[IMG] Yvette and Admiral Bunny Wigglesworth about to embark for tea

[IMG] The tea room has no idea what's about to hit them

[IMG] How many different layers can Kevin stack up, anyway?

The Costume Insurrection presents
"The League of Evil Geniuses Salon"
infamous for cruelly casual Cosmopolitans

[IMG] Ok... so which party did they say we should go to?
(as the Salon went feral and decided to raid everyone else's bar...)

The Insurrection mobilizes....

[IMG] We caught up with our scouts!
(and Kevin finally put on his hat!)

[IMG] Sandy is looking for his bottle of rum
(which Belle was kind enough to carry for him in our wanderings)

[IMG] The only problem, is he can't remember which girl is holding it...was it Elaine?

[IMG] Maybe with better light...

[IMG] Maybe Kate has it...

[IMG] What a photogenic duo

[IMG] Oops... make that trio

[IMG] Aha! there's that pesky bottle
(Check out Belle's Bitchin' Boots!)

Photos from before it all started and around the con

[IMG] Glen and Pierre hard at work in the masquerade office

[IMG] Way too many digital cameras and other.. <ahem> ...toys

[IMG] Aye, and it wouldn't be a proper Worldcon without a piper on the corner, now, would it?

Around Town in Chicago

[IMG] A truly classic work of politically incorrect public art

[IMG] The top of the Tribune Building

Feral Elevators: Chicago obviously has a large and potentially hazardous population of feral lifts. As evidenced by the warning signs for all the traps set out for them:
