Stay tuned....
Paramount Publicity has asked my Dad's club to have cosplayers at the Star Trek preview (Wednesday before the Thursday release). So Dad and I are going! I was hesitant to do my Andorian again, so much effort so soon! But when I found out Paramount was organising, not just the local Cinema, I was sold.
Now there might be a cross during the weather (5.20pm and 5.40pm on Wednesday), but I don't think I can make the 5.20pm cross, so I dont know if I'll be able to do any.
But stay tuned for photos and the such!

The much delayed post from Supanova
My morning didn't start of so great. My contacts took almost 45 minutes to get in, and when I did get the last one in, it was hurting. Managed to get over the pain, but as my eyes were irritated, my nose started running.
As I put on my face makeup, which comes off with water, my nose running made my makeup come off, in one nice streak. Took some telfast and hoped for the best (obviously taking my touch up kit with me).
Then, nearly an hour late, I couldn't find my blue mascara.... had to forget about it.
Headed off, and as we were driving, my eyes got so irritated by the contacts it was literally like I was crying.... and like the nose, this meant makeup running off. So I wasn't feeling to spectacular about my costume, and stressed because we were only just going to make it in time for Dad's shift at his Star Trek club's stall.
We couldn't find the parking, so had to go to a side street. I told Dd to leave me, and I fixed up my makeup.
Started walking to the showgrounds. Turns out in a car, the distance didn't seem to great, but it was a good 2 or 3 blocks. I started sweating....just one bead of sweat, I felt it start and in my head I was going 'oh no you don't!' By the time I got the entry, I had to stand in the sun waiting to get in (prepaid ticket line!)... sweat pouring down where that one bead was.
Turns out that day was very very humid. I wasn't the only stage makeup person having issues with the heat...my only consolation.
The embarassing part was standing in the line, with crap makeup. I just wanted to go home and cry, considering I forgot to bring my 'normal' star trek wig and tights. Went to the bathroom fixed myself up enough, but was so pissed off how it had all turned out. But decided to walk around, find Dad...and people started asking for photos! I started feeling better, because people still liked my costume...it was really just one side and 'macro' close up that it wasn't so great.
Anyway, I quickly got happy...and stood by the Star Trek stand attracting people and feeling a lot better.
The day was great.... here are photos (just my costume)
