Your costume is awesome! I used to watch that show as a kid - I would have recognized it instantly. You need to go to NYCC to get the East Coast version too...
LOL, I know...

Ok, a few things.
1.) The gal in the Black Canary costume earlier is indeed lovely.
2.) Arisia, huh? Cool. Nice attention to detail.
3.) Genuine question here for any who'd know. In perusing this thread, I noticed a number of pictures of women who seemed to be models. I don't just mean "Hur she's purty," but rather professional hair, makeup, HIGHLY sculpted bodies (via intensive gym/diet/"enhancement"/etc.), and such. So here's my question: while I'm sure plenty of these women show up in costume for the love of costuming, is SDCC also a business opportunity for them? I mean, are folks hiring? Or are they "booth girls" like at, say, E3 (well, E3s of yesteryear, anyway)?
None of this, by the way, is to suggest that there aren't plenty of stunning women who like to costume (although the concentration at events like this does boggle the mind), but I can't help but wonder whether shows like this also are places where people think they might get noticed and hired for this or that gig (and if so, what gigs?).
Just wondering.
4.) As with any of these threads with superhero costumes, I can't help but wonder when/if there will ever be some kind of fabric that can truly mimic the properties of comic book costumes (which really might as well just be painted on). Something flexible enough to fit the human body, tight enough to be truly form-fitting, and yet thin enough to show real detail. Even on someone who is absolutely rock solid with serious definition, most of the "cloth" costumes seem to end up lacking detail. I guess this explains why so many comic book films end up going with some variation of leather or with padded outfits like the Raimi Spidey suit.

The only real knock-down, drag-out I ever witnessed at a con was when a professional booth babe went up to the exhibitor and told the guy she was much prettier than the guy he's hired, handed him her take-away info so he might hire her for the next one and found out the scantily-clad woman out front was the dude's girlfriend.
Like all such nerd conflicts, it was hilarious to everyone except the people involved.

Pics or it didn't happen.
Nah, just kidding. I guess it's more of a marketing opportunity than I thought. I've only been to one con, and that was DragonCon in 2001 down in Atlanta. I didn't spend much time in the comic stuff (was more focused on anime and finding some inexpensive Macross DVDs...boy was THAT a waste of time...). I've been meaning to hit Philly's con for a few years, but I keep missing it or having plans the weekend it happens.
Anyway, my point here is that I'm not even entirely sure what goes on at cons these days, hence my question.

Well, especially so at SDCC what with all the aspiring models and actresses in LA and Southern California in general. The exhibitor list is available months before the show and every year we get emails from model services offering folks to model for the show.

Makes sense, yeah. Thanks for the info!

That area is so rich with the talent, a lot of times girls you think are hired models are just friends. Madison Dylan and half the Femmes Fatales booth girls used our booth to get water and Gatorade away from theirs because the writer-producer of their show did a graphic novel with us.
Which didn't hurt anybody's feelings at our booth, believe me.

Anyone need a Booth Brute?(New phrase coined here!)

My good friend Ian, who's helped us out at the show for years, gets really angry if you call him anything other than "booth babe."
I really once heard him tell someone that just like "Postmaster" is a title aspired to regardless of gender, so too should "booth babe" be so honored.
But Ian has a luxurious mane of hair so I think there is some ego-gratification involved there.

That was my 1st thought, but I didn't want to be rude. When I first saw this, I thought to myself, there's no way that's a women.
