Hi, I'm new to the area
|
Hi everyone, I just moved to the DC area (Alexandria, to be exact) from San Francisco. I was a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic miss.... ooops, sorry, I was a member of the San Francisco Fan Force and I'd love to join up with a local fan group here. It seems like y'all might do costuming, I have 2 - the classic ANH Leia outfit, and a Jedi costume (not modeled after a specific Jedi, it's more a combo of the traditional Jedi costume and my own character). Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone, and I hope to be able to attend a meeting or event soon!
MTFBWY,
Anne

Welcome to the neighborhood, Anne!
We do some costume stuff, but it's more on the lighter side (dead SW characters, anyone?), so we hope you have a sense of humor with your costumes.
Either way, we're a fairly fun and welcoming bunch. You should come to our next meeting (TBA)
BTW - Pirate costumes are always welcome.

Wait, we have meetings?!?
Welcome to the madness. I'm afraid you won't find us a very organized group, but we sure are fun. At least I think we are. Of course, you may find my sense of fun to be somewhat twisted

Just so you know Anne, some of us take the idea of dressing up as our favortie Star Wars characters VERY SERIOUSLY! You won't find any pirate-type outfits hanging around in MY closet! No sir! When it comes to Star Wars costumes, this kid is strictly "Luke Skywalker" all the way!!!
Of course, what I'm wearing UNDERNEATH the costume is another matter...
Welcome aboard by the way!

This coming from the same guy who wanted me to dress in the following costumes:
- Slave Liea
- Squid Jedi
- The entire Ewok village
...and then there's the stuff he wanted me to wear to conventions.

Hi everybody, thanks for the welcomes! No worries, I have a sense of humor  One of my dream costumes is to dress up as a 12" Kenner Leia figure, with hair in big, huge plastic "donuts" and all, but I'm hampered by an inability to sew. If anyone else here has the Leia ceremonial gown from ANH and needs shoes, it looks like silver metallic shoes are making their millionth comeback! I don't have any pirate costumes, unless you count internet piracy ... ha ha! And the *entire* Ewok village?? that's one giant fur coat....!
Thanks JedHead! I miss you guys too!

Talk to Wendy (Maleficant). She's a fine seamstress. Just don't let her near the bar.

<random thought> this is a good combination: "candy" and "bar"! </random thought>
and just to keep on some semblance of a topic, any idea when the next meeting might be?

Hi there and welcome!
I'm thinking the next meeting ought to be the weekend of the 11th. I think we're doing a viewing party. And hey, if I get volunteered to bring the Vader cake, then by God I'm calling it a meeting, LOL.
More to come, keep your eyes on the board.

Welcome! We've got some great costumes. The original storm janitor. Evil Mara Jade. Fan Girl. Spoiler Jedi....
Maybe we should come with some sort of disclaimer...
But really, come by a meeting. You know, when we have one.

You're wearing something underneath? I'm soooo disappointed.
I think the meeting should be on the 19th. On account of I'll be in New Jersey for a wedding the weekend before. Don't blame me. I didn't pick the date.
