On May 31st I attended the Spooky Empire May-Hem Con in Orlando and it was quite a bit of fun. It's not the largest con, but there were some nice costumes and I got to meet some awesome Once Upon a Time actors. The Dealer's room had some very neat artists and was worth the walk through. It was nice to go to a convention that was only an hour away and could be experienced in a day.
 | Unless you are staying at the DoubleTree Hotel just across from Universal Studios be prepared to walk a LONG way from your parking to the convention location. Fortunately the convention provided a shuttle (for $2). We three chose to take the shuttle. It was a good choice. Much time was saved. |
This lovely gent is Sean Maguire, he played Robin Hood on Once Upon a Time. Not only is he handsome, he is also very kind. It was a pleasure to meet him.

Also, our photo totally got photo-bombed by Jason Burkart -"Little John". I didn't even realize it was happening and so just stood there wondering why my friend was taking so many pictures. It was pretty awesome.
 | Now, I chose to wear my casual Winter Soldier outfit and got about 5 people who recognized it and complimented me on it. Which was cool, you know, it is a more subtle cosplay and I do feel like a badass wearing it. HOWEVER, my friend who wore her Star Wars Dress got approximately 7 billion compliments; yes, every single person on Earth complemented her on her dress. Oh, I am so wearing my Star Wars dress next time. Oh yeah, here she is meeting the Wicked Witch - Rebecca Mader - who is a lovely person and who also loved my friend's dress, whatever. |
My extraordinary friend girlbydaylight debuted her "Belle" costume from Once Upon A Time and we ran into a good number of fellow OUAT cosplayers.

We met up with a few other cosplay friends and had a lovely afternoon together.
 | To the left is a Starrbird Productions original and awesome IT cosplay. Pennywise and Georgie.  Walking around, looking for photoshoot spots. |
The last cosplay I must mention is this epic Hannibal duo. Just look upon these pictures and enjoy.
