It’s time for our annual pilgrimage to Atlanta for Dragon Con except, sadly, only one of us will be there this year. :( BUT LIN SHALL ATTEND IN SPIRIT.
As always, if you see Bria, please feel free to say hi! We love getting to talk to folks. :)
FRIDAY
Morning: It’s Maria Hill time. Also time to chase Captain America off a Helicarrier
Star Wars Costuming – 4pm – Marriott A706: Have a costuming question? Swing by the Star Wars room and Bria and a panel of experts will help!
Star Wars Rebels – 5:30pm – Marriott A706: Catch Bria on a panel discussing Star Wars Rebels! There will totally be talk of #SpaceMarried and Thrawn!
Evening: Sai up because it’s Elektra time!
SATURDAY
Morning/Afternoon: Jedi Mulan makes a return!
Afternoon/Evening: It’s Star Wars all the things as Bria debuts a new Leia costume for a group
SUNDAY
New Characters We Already Know and Love – 10am – Marriott A706: Bria’s promised to not make this the Hux Hour. Apparently there are other characters to love. Like RAE SLOANE and Dr. Aphra. Oh yeah and Rey and Finn.
Afternoon: Jedi beware because Seventh Sister will be roaming the halls
Evening: There’s time for one last costume as Bria returns to the light side of the Force as Bespin!Leia.
I really, really like Taylor Swift.
It’s probably a good thing that my friends do, too.
This was supposed to be party gear, fun midnight girl gear; but it turned into one of the ones I loved wearing most. Maybe because 1989, et cie, is on loop forever in the background of our friendship in the best kind of way.
(We’re about kicking each through plate glass windows with love.)

Please note that while we will be attending a number of photoshoots, they by no means dictate all of our free time; they’re included to show where our cosplay schedule is anchored. We will definitely be doing convention panels and other activities, including some very serious partying with our amazing SCF buddies!
The X-Men will always have our hearts, so when we were tapped for the Giant 90s X-Men Photoshoot at DragonCon this year, it wasn’t hard to say yes — especially since we were asked to be Jubilee and Dani Moonstar. (Just ask us sometime about how we feel about the next gens of X-Men.)
As always, the shoot was definitely a commitment and involved several long hours under the hot sun but we had a blast! There’s nothing quite like getting to be a part of something like this. Every single one of these cosplayers totally brought their A-Game to the shoot and it shows. We’re glad to have been part of it!
