Blythecon 2009 - Part 2

One of the events at BLYTHECON was the big COSTUME CONTEST...the winner of the contest won a PHOTO SHOOT for their doll, in New York City with Gina Garan. Missy dressed up in her homemade HELLO KITTY COSTUME and dressed her Blythe Doll, ISOBEL CREAMPUFF in a matching outfit...









A "FLAPPER" stood next to "SWINE FLU"...



"MARY POPPINS" stood next to "EVEL KNIEVEL", who stood next to an "OWL"...Mary ended up winning 2nd place!







The spooky "TWINS" from the horror movie THE SHINING stood next to "PIPPI LONGSTOCKING" (Missy's favorite entry)...









Each attendee was given a ballot at registration, and chose three of their favorite contestants. After all the votes were tallied it was revealed that "AMELIA EARHART" was the grand winner!





After the costume contest, there was a Q + A session, followed by the big raffle...we got lucky and ended up winning three different prizes! Missy ended up winning little Blythe notebook and a free download for a Blythe iPhone app...too bad Missy doesn't have an iPhone (yet!)...I ended up winning a little crocheted RED DRESS...when they called my ticket number, I let out a manly "YEAH!" much to everyone's delight. I said aloud, "My BOBA FETT is gonna love this dress!"



























The winner of the grand raffle prize won a one-of-a-kind CUSTOMIZED BLYTHE DOLL worth several hundred dollars...
