SDCC 09 part 2 Lots more photos!

Day 2 of the comic con I wanted to dress as a revamped version of the catwoman from the original Batman tv series. I had the leather mask already from the FanVixens shoot with fetish model extraordinaire, Vima. Leather mask by Goblin & Crumb, I just added pleather to the ears. Wore my leather corset, pleather bikini top, some cool lace back fishnets from legs ave, metalic black spandex gauntlets and underwear from Je t'aime hollywood, some funky long black claws from the Hollywood Halloween shop, gold chains from Michael's, and black gogo boots I borrowed from my sister. (click photos to enlarge)

^Cam-whoring dweeb. I'm sure there are plenty of these floating around on the internet. If you come across any or took some with me, give me a holler. =P

I actually had a hard time rocking this because of how I wore the mask. I actually had it on way too tight which led to a massive headache. I think if I decide to wear this mask again I'll change the leather band to an elastic one.

^Yar!

So although there was a downside to the obscure booth location this year, I did mention there was an upside to our spot. Actually pretty huge in the realm of comic lovers. We were right across from Adam West's booth. For those of you who have no idea who he is, he was the original Batman from THE ORIGINAL BATMAN TV SERIES!!! haha! We had no idea that he was going to be across from us. It was like fate that I was dressed as Catwoman when he first arrived!
I was a bit shy, but my friend asked if I could take a photo with him, and he replied, I don't know if I should, my wife is here. haha. She smiled warmly, "go ahead," and she stepped aside so I could be photographed behind the booth. =) They were so awesome. That never happens. haha. Most oldschool comic celebs wouldn't let anyone behind the booth to be photographed, let alone for free. They were super cool, and it was surreal speaking with him because I totally grew up watching that series everyday after school. Also with his voice... I was totally picturing the zany character he plays on Family Guy- Major West. haha. He sounds just like his self. haha.

^I was only back there for a short period. All I could see was a bunch of camera flashes. Whoever got some of those shots were lucky. Adam West posing with the young Asian Catwoman. Hilarious. His wife asked what happened to the claws I had on earlier. I had to ditch them because it was a real pain signing calendars with them badboys on.
^Quick bathroom run. I was stopped by an adorable Pikachu for a quick photo-op. FanVixens 2010 material? She's cute as a button...

What makes comic con super awesome? All the fun cosplay.



















^didn't know what this was about, but there was a long line for it.
End SDCC '09 part2
Up next more fun, more photos, more cosplay...

SDCC 09 San Diego Comic Con and the release of FanVixens! lots of pics part 1

Like I mentioned before, my calendar (ON SALE THROUGH PAYPAL TO THE RIGHT-->) did really well at the past comic con. Lots of people lots of sales. Man this years SDCC was fucking huge. It sold out months in advance, so it was packed every single day. This year we moved to from small press to a bigger exhibitor booth, which had its ups and downs. One of the upsides is that we had way more space. The inkpenmutations booth was sick this year. We had a cool setup with a couch and shit. It was a lot more inviting and I felt like I could actually talk and interact with fans a lot easier. before the setup was a pain with the big table as a barrier. The only downside was that there was a lot less traffic in our area. The old small press booth was near the restrooms so people were able to find us better. More interviews, more photos, more publicity.... a lot of the people from last year were unaware that we were there till the last day. There was one great part about our location, but I'll get to that later.

I don't know where to start. So many photos and stories. I guess I'll just start posting some photos in order and commenting as I see fit. Otherwise, I'll never get this finished. (click photos to enlarge)

Wednesday was preview night, so I didn't really get dressed up or anything. I just made an iron on transfer of the fanvixens home page and put it on a wife beater.^At my booth before it opened. We had a commercial reel of our books rolling throughout the con on that flat screen. Teckmolojeez these days.

^Some of the inkpen team + a friend.

^Transformers! I have so much transformers gear, it's retarded. Too bad I think the movies suck balls. -sigh-

^got this. Hoping ebay peeps will give me a decent payday. haha.

^This little dude was walking around.

^Thought this was neat. Stark Industries booth. I was so busy during the con, I didn't get to see what it was all about.

^Don't tell me you never did The Bartman. I did in 2nd grade. Thought I was the shit.

^Gamers. haha.
^Didn't get a photo with this, but I should've. I wish I had a crotch grabbing pic with him. gar!
