Excerpted from “My Evil Plan” — Hall Costume Awards
Posted: May 8, 2008
It all started a year and a bit ago at Wondercon. Catching a glimpse of Kevin and Andy at the other end of the dealer’s room, I shouted daintily “I’ll do the Hall Costuming Awards!” Kevin nodded yes, and tragedy was born.
Anyway, it’s Sunday night, and I’ve given out the final “major” awards for Hall Costuming. It was very difficult to pick the winners from the abundance available, but I rose from the dead to the challenge and here are the winners:
Sunday Evil Genius of the Day Awards
- Katherine Curon-Greig — 1858 Gymnastic Costume
- Lauren Howard – “Sally” from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Workmanship Awards Honorable Mentions
- Sarcasm Hime — Tribal Dancer
- Stephanie Flora — 1837-1842 Rust Print Day dress and Bonnet (First-time costumer! Entirely Hand-Sewn!)
Golden Thimble Award for Fine Workmanship
Laurie Tavan — Lady in Blue Ultimate Evil Costume Award
Loren Dearborn — 18th Century Wardrobe
There will still be some given out on Monday if possible, so keep wearing those costume if you’re not on a committee, and thank you for making this convention more exciting (I didn’t think that was possible) by showing us what you can do. Thanks also to the tireless secret agents and my last minute assistant Paul Sinasohn. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without his help.

P.S. Laurie had better watch out or I will steal her shoes!
