Yep, I'm a masochist.
I think it's turned out beautifully. I will definitely participate in the costume contest, but I don't think it's worthy of winning any awards. I've never participated in the Masquerade at any con I've been to and I'm not quite sure what to expect. It should be an adventure and getting me out of my comfort zone is always a good thing. I'm not sure if I'll have to have a performance or not, so I'm preparing one just in case.
