I'm back! I'm alive!
Costume College was splendid this year. I had SO much fun, met and chatted with so many cool people, and took so...SO...many photos. I'm breaking this up into pieces just because there are really THAT many photos.
So before I start - what *is* Costume College, anyway?
Costume College is an annual gathering of costume enthusiasts, of all skill levels, that takes place in L.A. each August. Costumers from all over the world attend - this year we had Cathy from England, Merja from Finland, and Christina from Germany, as well as the beautiful hordes of West Coastians, all dressed to the nines in their finest.
So now that you know, let's go! First...the drive. It's about 8 hours between Reno and L.A., but there are some beautiful sights to see...
Once I arrived, it was time for festivities...
 |
Okay, so I might have squealed kindof a lot when I met Merja... |
 |
Elizabeth in her original vintage bathingsuit |
 |
The theme this year was "Cavalier With a Touch of Pirate." The 17th century gowns were splendid |
 |

 |
Mary Johns in beautiful 18th c. men's wear worn in "Courage, New Hampshire" |
 |
Merja and Kendra had made matching Marie Antoinette redingotes, both utterly fantastic |
 |
Details from the costumes on exhibit - this one made by Natalie Meyer, fashioned after Glenn Close's costumes in Dangerous Liaisons. |
 |
My favorite from the display room - a Directoire Revival gown from the 1890s, by Chantal Filson |
 |
A gorgeous 1830s bonnt by Diane Yoshitomi |
 |
A ribbon bonnet decoration - really fun and adds a lot of texture. |
 |
One last detail from the costume room - I loved the bold and sophisticated combination of colors on this bonnet. Like candy! |
Want more pictures? Okay, this is only half! I'll have more to share with you soon. :-)
