You'll LOVE the FIDM exhibit, esp. if you're into the PT costumes, and specifically Padme's wardrobe. Seeing it was one of the last things I managed to accomplish just before we moved here from CA. I have some photos I can post online somewhere, if there is a place that's already established I can put them there, or else I can create some kind of folder somewhere on the net. One note: the lighting in the exhibit is a little iffy, so take your time and take LOTS of photos of the costumes you're interested in. A lot of my photos are a bit too dark, and/or slightly blurry, and I had a digital camera sad

OK, I'm new here, so I don't know what this acronym stands for; what is the FIDM exhibit? I just got excited about the SW-related exhibit in Boston, which eventually will be in Philadelphia.

That's right, the Boston event will be in Philadelphia in 2007. Since I live in the area, I'll be starting to take reservations soon. wink



Ok now the FIDM exhibit is a costume exhibit in LA. It goes along with the book Costuming a Galaxy. Type either into your search browser to see pics of tons of Prequel costumes.

Ooh, it sounds great! I love the costumes, and have some keen yearnings to get seriously into costuming, but am greatly hampered by an utter lack of sewing ability or interest. That leaves me with the necessity of outsourcing all costumes, and there the lack of _money_ begins to cramp my style a bit. So at present I am utterly costumeless, though I have a yen for an OT Mon Mothma costume. I wish I'd had one made for this Halloween, as all of my children will be in SW costumes tomorrow, and me in my civvies...(Or my clown costume, that being really the only thing I have that fits...used to have more costumes back before the poundage piled on with the kids...)

BTW, off-topic here, but where near Philly do you live? I used to live in Bryn Mawr and Rosemont.

-Maura

Ok, so what's the Boston exhibit?? happy

OT - I love KoP, we used to live in Delaware and we'd go to KoP to go to the movies, as it was such a nice theater. I saw AOTC there in fact! I also love Philadelphia, I think we're going to do a day trip up there sometime soon.

And looping back to costumes, are you familiar with the Elvis Trooper? I think he's from the Central California Garrison. He was at C3, handing out his very own autographed trading card in fine Elvis style. He also attends Wondercon in SF usually. I think his costume is an absolute riot, and I particularly love the rhinestone Empire symbol on his "cape." Sadly, I'm not that clever!

The Boston event is a mix of a science exhibit and Magic & Myth.
