But what to wear to the Goblin King’s Ball?

So you are going to Hypericon this week and you don’t know what to wear to the Goblin King’s Ball? Well maybe I can help. Sure you could wear one of the many costumes from the movie and look fabulous.

Or you could come in normal con wear. That is also exceptable.

But why not make something of your own? The call to the ball went out to all elves, fairies, goblins, demons, and the like. So come up with a story behind your costume.

I wanted to start my costume based on two things, elf ears (of course) and a black mask that Laura made for me a couple years back. Since I will be doing the music, I thought a sort of half elf-bard type character. Probably caught between time. So curled toe boots, striped pants, and my renaissance vest. Probably a dark silk shirt. That is, unless I can find something better at the thrift store.
