Fast forward several sleepless weeks later to backstage at the Masquerade. Comic-Con has a rule that doesn’t allow entries to wear their costumes prior to the show so everyone is required to dress backstage. Thankfully we had an army of helpers to get us into gear. All the entries are photographed and judged and are required to be fully dressed and ready for that an hour prior to show time.

Above: I managed to sucker my roommate into being a Little Sister for our skit. She’s a good sport
