Special Category: “Ports of Call”

This category is for dolls dressed to represent the theme of our convention. For example, your doll could be dressed for a specific port from which your doll will journey forth, or for where will it make landfall again. Where might that be? San Diego? Shanghai? Aldeberan III?
