Wizard World Austin 2017 Where in the 🌎 is Carmen Sandiego? Smack in the middle of a Stargate Atlantis hunk sandwich. I showed great restraint. I got permission from Jason to touch his chest for this photo and I did not climb him like a tree. See guys, not crossing the line is really that easy.

Not a trick, but hopefully a treat. My book (in ebook form) has gone live on Amazon. I'm still finessing getting the paperback published. Full disclosure: the formatting of the ebook is a bit clunky, but it allows you to zoom in on all the costuming details. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist
