GAT_00: Makh: People actually care about who Larry Niven is

For the love of God please tell me someone dressed up as a Puppeteer.

I heard about that from Mike Hodel's Hour 25 radio show. Apparently it was very convincing.

#115 - proto- Slave Leia

It is funny how some of those costumes blend in perfectly with the floor and or wall paper. Like this one




What character is she supposed to be anyway?

And not a single 300 lb'er in the lot. Nice.

This brings back a lot of good memories, as 1980 was a big year for me. Graduated HS, and attended my first SF con (Atlanta Comics and Fantasy Fair). Where I discovered the wonders of Doctor Who.

Angelique Trouvere, the patron goddess of costume contests:

Dork. Dork never changes...

rdyb: #115 - proto- Slave Leia



I think that's supposed to be Princess Ardala from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

That mermaid costume is almost NSFW.

It was a different time back then, my friend.

She can sit those poor proportions all over my face. I think she's cute.

Imagine the drama in teh bathroom, err dressing room, outside the main convention hall. So much last detail. So much anxiety. So much envy. Just like backstage at the International Drag Queen finals or a GOP debate.

Says her name is "Susan Fox"

Wonder if it's this Susan Fox. because then you'll have to change it to "how about no"

I have been thinking about going to a sci-fi convention, there are a few around the NYC/Philly area.

This has cured me of that idea.

Thanks subby.

RexTalionis: I have no idea why somebody would wear a Beijing Opera costume to a Sci-Fi convention. It's a good quality costume, too, with the right make-up and everything.

I saw Indiana Jones at a Star Trek convention. I think some people look for any excuse to dress up.

I think you found her. Yuck.

Nerds were skinnier 30 years ago.

Oh look, its another thread of Farkers expressing outrage at the thought of people enjoying something that doesn't revolve around beer, tits, or football.

How many of these are we up to now?

The_Time_Master: Nerds were skinnier 30 years ago.

Even the fat people of 30 years ago were skinnier than the fat people of today. It's like obesity inflation.

And in response to myself, I'm going to see if I can identify them...



Back row L to R:

Llewella, Bleys, Gerard, Caine, Oberon, Eric, Corwin, Dierdre.

2nd row L to R:

Not sure possibly Fiona though her colors are wrong, Random, Florimel, possibly Dworkin, Not sure, possibly Fiona again

Bottom row L to R:

Julian, Brand or Luke, Maybe Finndo, Maybe Dara, Maybe Osric, No idea, and two palace servants b ased on the Rampant Unicorn tabard.

Anyone else got any guesses?

Here's a great gallery of photos from World Con dating all the way back to the second one in 1939:

And a photo of none other than Forey Ackerman at the '39 one, which could be regarded as THE very first known cosplay:

The_Time_Master: Nerds were skinnier 30 years ago.

HFCS wasn't in wide of use as it is today.

"Obesity inflation" is now a part of my vocabulary. Thank you. :)

My brother moved to LA a bit before '80 and has been rooted in the SF scene there to this day. I'd be surprised if he were in any of those photos- he's not much for costumes.

Super-sized portions, not just HFCS. Back then, a large soda was 16 oz. A big burger was a McDouble. These are now the smalls.
