Spooky Empire May-Hem Con

6/7/2014

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.

    I'm a zoo keeper. I currently work with Rhinos and it is awesome.

    These are my random observations about the world...and I do mean random.  I write about what catches my interest and my imagination. 

    Just as a note: There is the possibility of the occasional curse word. I will not overuse - but those words have power when carefully placed.

To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams. ::: Giorgio de Chirico :::
