Costuming for Dragon*Con

So, Dragon*Con and costumes. What to do? Who to be? Well, they have to have glasses or at least make glasses work. I'm a 4-eyes and so is Melin. After a while, we settled on G.I. Joe characters, and not just any, but two of Cobra's elite bad guys. The Baroness and Destro.

With the costumes, there were two roads to take:
A perfect reproduction of the costume
A personal re-interpretation of the costume

I chose path two. A little less traveled and a lot more fun. We looked at all the different versions of our characters that had come and gone over the years and then decided on the look we wanted for our version of them.
