Looking for a few good videogam[ing/er] costum[er/ing] folk.

[kproche]

I haven't done much in the way of videogaming for years (truth: I remember the Magnavox Odyssey, and Pong, and played lots of Atari 2600 games at my godparents' house), nor costumed from them.

I do, however, write for a costuming magazine (YIPE! if you've somehow missed that fact over the last 3 years) and am working on a feature about video game costumes and/or costuming at videogame events.

Anyone out there in LJ-land have something (photos, anecdotes, tales of excitement and wonder -- or woe and misery) to share? Deadlines are looming [cue ominous 8-bit music]

G and I did a costume for her at Baycon one year, the Prince from Katamari Damacy. Another year she was a character from Dance Dance Revolution. So, Iv'e done several of them. I just don't know anyone who has pictures of them. maybe John O? She did not like having pictures taken by the typical con photogs, so she refused to pose for them in those areas.
