Event 3rd Annual San Diego BJD Con-Nov. 5th, 2011-" Haunted New Orleans"

Wow, everyone looks so amazing! I really wish I could have come down, maybe next year. ^_^;

 

wow looks like a nice event

 

Great sets! So sorry I had to miss it this year.

 

Oh! The set looks so good finished!!! Please- anybody! Post more pics!!

 

Theme: "Supernatural New Orleans"

There was a fantastic set with a two-story Bourbon Street building and a cemetery/haunted house on a hill scene.

Dolls were dressed for the costume contest (winners got DollHeart outfits donated by Ms. Cholong and something else that I've forgotten), and also dressed up just for the con. I forgot exactly who won. I hope someone will post that...

Here are some of my photos.

There was another hat-maker vendor there, I wish I'd gotten a photo! I bought several of her hats--they were great!

There were also cupcakes and hotdogs and other good things to eat that I didn't get a photo of, either.

There were door prizes, too! Lots of fun stuff!

I had a fantastic time. Thanks to everyone there--attending, selling and organizing the event!!!

And I hope more people will POST MORE PHOTOS because my camera isn't the greatest and I'm sure their photos will be welcome!!!

 

Many thanks April for posting all these wonderful photos! The one thing I forgot was my camera Doh! I was so worried about all the rest of the stuff I never even thought of it until the everyone was there.

Our photographer got a huge number of photos, and I'll post some once I get the link... also, we'll be offering photobooks of the event pretty soon.

Thanks everyone, and keep the photos coming!

 

OMG!!! Some one has a Dollmore Lukia!!!! So sad I couldn't see it in person!!

Great pictures April!!

 

There were a LOT of dolls! And I think I caught most of 'em.

I hope others post their photos, since I wasn't be artistic with them--just snapping away like mad...

I'd love to hear about the photo-books! I didn't get a chance to see the 2010 one. I'll most likely buy some, just because I like photo-books.

 

Loved looking thru all these photos. The hat vendor's hats looked so interesting. So many great costumes too. Thanks for sharing!

 

A great job. The pictures are so great. No one was left out. Thanks to all!

 

The photos and report are wonderful. So hope one year I can go.

 

I have a good friend who works at Marina Village - she said she stopped in and now she wants a doll too. Ha!

(Miss you guys, btw!)

Mel

 

Thank you so much April for posting all these pictures! It was wonderful to see all the dolls, costumes, vendors and fabulous sets!

Bruce and company really put a lot of work into this event! Im glad to see it was such a success!

We miss you, my friend. Come visit us sometime.

 

Wish I could have gone! Maybe next year...
