    I've been on the lookout for pictures since Thursday and have found a few. The best so far are from Friday's costume pageant where it would appear our own kay_dee placed with her gorgeous Padme costume. Congrats to her!

    These are from a StarWars.com blog:

    I also saw kay_dee and Benae_Quee on tv last night on a G4 SW special about C4. :)

    OMG whoever did the peacock costume, kudos! I was walking and caught an upclose view of the detailing and it was amazing. You spent a lot of time and effort and wow, just anywhere you looked on it had some kind of beading, embroidery or embossing.

    Everyone's costumes were fantastic. It was great seeing so much hard work. The costume pageant was worth the 5 day admission price.

    Congrats to kaydee for winning on Friday!

    I think my jaw just dropped some 5ft when I saw Naboo Girls dress. What a labour of love, it's absolute joy to look at.

    Congrats to Kay_Dee for winning and Sola for just being pretty as picture in her Amidala dress.

    Everyone looked great at CIV! The costume contest was amazing! :D

    I'm proud to say that I've now met Benae, Will, and her friend, and they are incredibly nice and wonderful people! :D

    Thank you so much! :D I had so many people wanting to take pictures of me or even with me! It felt awesome. :D

    And, I was surprised that there were people who came all the way from different countries...like that one man from France who won third place I think...very amazing! :)

    Hehehe that's always the most awesome thing about dressing up! I still remember my first outing as Classic Leia. Even though I look back now, and I hate the costume, It was such a buzz to be asked by so many people for photos!! :D

    I think we had about 4 people here from Australia head over (lucky buggers :p). We had a bon voyage party for our local guy who was heading over, he was excited and very nervous! I can't wait til he comes back and tells us all about it! :D

    Awesome costumes so far !

    Please post more pics and links ! I really hope to see a broader variety of costumes ! Weren´t there two costume pageants ? And who won ?
    Did anyone take pics of Jay Lagaaia in his Captain Typho outfit ? That man is awesome, to have the idea to borrow the original costumes for appearances at a convention !

    Michael, this is the only one of Jay in his costume that I've found so far (taken from Dingo's photos):

    Darth_Manos also posted that he and his wife, Biba-Fett, escorted Jay around the con in his costume. Cool!

    Here are a few links to some of Dingo's other costume pics:

    Yep, they're mine. :) Unfortunately, I could only manage to get two shots off. People were blocking my view and with no flash...they all came out incredibly blurry.

    I'm really glad the Wookiee won. I've never seen anything done so well! :cool:

    And I was around Benae and her little group (as we call them :p ) while she had her lekku off. Got to see her put it on, and oh my God, that looks hard to do. :p She did a wonderful job.

    I'll do my best. I don't know many people just by their names. :p

    I know Jaren_Valnor's brother was there, wearing the action figure yoda costume, I saw kay_dee there, but she didn't go in the contest...must've gone before. Earwen_Lightrider and her boyfriend SkyeLightrider were both in the contest. Earwen was Darth Talon and Skye was in his own OC. Sister Sola was there and in the contest with her green handmaiden outfit. Benae was in it with her Opera Twilek. I think I saw MomMaster and her son there in the contest?

    *weak smile* Like I said, don't know many people by name, so uh...ask Benae or kay_dee, or the others who went when they come back. [face_blush]

    Here's the costume who won best overall costume:
