Lumos Pics, Take One: Costumed Characters, Part One (Slytherins)

[valis2]

I'm back from Lumos, and I have lots of things in store for you, my poor flist! There is much spamming planned.

You'll quickly see that I have taken pictures of people...with the Giant Squid. Well, really he's a plush octopus, but let's not point it out...he's a bit sensitive.

Here is the first entry. This is the first half of the pics of people in costume that I took.

Please note that the lighting and backgrounds were not very conducive for nice, pretty pictures. I did the best I could, and I Photoshopped the hell out of some of it, and my Photoshop skills pretty much suck, so there you go.

Death Eater Lucius

Lucius Malfoy

Lucius/Squid OTP


This has to be one of my favorite pics.

---

Narcissa Malfoy She was a rather sweet and kind Narcissa! Perhaps she was fanon!Narcissa.

---

Hogwarts Narcissa Now here's the reaction I expected. *laughs*

---

Draco/Hermione


That forced collaboration between Head Boy and Head Girl looks like it paid off.

---

logospilgrim as Snape.

---

logospilgrim smooching the Squid. The Squid is quite happy to be on the receiving end of such a holy kiss.

---

Cheery Snape She was just so happy to see the Squid and get her picture taken.


I think she's portraying Snape after he's hit with a Cheering Charm.

---

Icy Snape Absolutely terrific makeup/hair/costume.


I was a little afraid to ask her to pose with a squid.

---

Slughorn Pouring a bit of Felix Felicis on the Squid. Lucky Squid!

Lumos Love

[elliek-21.livejournal.com]

I love the pics! Did you get any pics of Voldemort? My man was there and he shaved his eyebrows in order to play Voldie.

When he sends me pics, I plan to post them on my LJ. I will drop you a note so that you can check them out. (The same goes for my Hawaii pics, if you recall that I mentioned that I was going there in a few weeks. *squee*)

I look forward to seeing more of your pics. I hope you had a blast. Most of the folks who went said that they had a great time. The main problem was that the food was really, really awful.

I was so sad! I missed so many great costumes. I missed Sprout/mandrake, I missed several Snapes, I missed Movie!Hogwarts kids, I missed a couple great ones.

You are going to love Hawaii! I can't wait to see your pics.

I'm going to start work on another pic entry, and then see if I can write up the summary tonight, too.

I tried to take a picture of your man whilst in the SH panel (I hadn't realized who he was in the other panels I was in with him until that moment) but he kept turning away. I'll post the one lowly picture that did come out (somewhat) good of him in a bit (in the process of fighting with photobucket to upload things right now).

I'll post the one lowly picture that did come out

Thanks! That sounds great. He is leaving Vegas as we speak, so I expect pictures from him within the next 24 hours. I hope he took some good ones.

Can you believe he shaved his eyebrows? I just can't get over that.

Re: Lumos Love

[celisnebula.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, he was trying to be "in" character, and all that. I was sorry to hear your class schedule made it so you couldn't come too.

Re: Lumos Love

[elliek-21.livejournal.com]

I had planned to go to Lumos when I found out about it. However, I had no idea that I was required to take a class in July at that time. I have been in school the ENTIRE summer, and I am so ready for a break. It was a major bummer not to be able to go to Vegas. I have been eagerly awaiting the return of my f-list so that I can live vicariously throught them.

I'm not sure if I would have had the balls to dress up in costume, though. Pink said I should go as Narcissa, but that is only because he has a Narcissa fetish. I wanted to go as Dumbldore. Don't ask me why, I just thought wearing a beard would make me feel butch ;P

Re: Lumos Love

[celisnebula.livejournal.com]

I did not dress up, and I successfully avoided getting my picture taken too (expect for metamuse's). Bratlet though, as soon as he could he dressed in his robes, sweater and scarf all weekend, I was surprised he didn't roast. I did by myself some slytherin stuff (all the better to torture my kid with).

Here's the link for the one photo I've got of Pink.

LOL! You should have told that boy to look at you! He does look creepy.

Thank you for sharing!

[scribbulus-ink.livejournal.com]

Wow - those are so cool! I especially love the last Snape and Slughorn. Great pics! :D

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness you like them! I was a little worried...they are so yellowish and I couldn't seem to get the color cast option to work properly, so I had to leave them yellowish. :(

Glad you liked them! I really wish you had been there. I would have loved to meet you.

[seaislewitch.livejournal.com]

Those are awesome! So much better quality than most people's.

I have a request: If you have a pic of me, please do not post it. I have a personal reason, and I'm sorry to ask. Thanks.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I plan on emailing everyone's pics to them, and asking for permission to post them. I realize not everyone wants their photo on an unlocked post! :) So I'll send you yours and put you on the "no" list.

*hugs*

[seaislewitch.livejournal.com]

You are great! Thanks! *hugs back*

[cactus-wren.livejournal.com]

Love 'Icy Snape'! Wouldn't have guessed that to be a girl though.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

It took a moment or two for it to register, honestly. It was really well done!

[gmonkey42.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Speaking of photos, I believe Carrot Top has a couple for you:

first one

second one

[valis2.livejournal.com]

OMG hilarious. Totally hilarious!! I lurve you. Thank you so much for making my dream come true.

[celisnebula.livejournal.com]

*squees* I am so jealous, it seems like everyone else got wonderful pictures whereas only about 25 of mine came out to the point where they are recognizable (apparently my digital has a delay feature and if you move it during that peroid, it makes everything blurry :oS).

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw, that really sucks! Seriously, I'd be so bummed.

I was really lucky...my camera has a great nightshot feature that made it possible to take all of those pics.

[jen-deben.livejournal.com]

Those are great! I love Hogwarts Narcissa, and Icy Snape is beee-oooo-tee-ful! :D

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Icy Snape was wondrous, really. Totally awesome outfit, totally fantastic demeanor, makeup was great...really wonderful!

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

YAY for Squiddy! I have the same one, you know. Tee hee! I love these pics.

(I even have a plush cuttlefish, of course...)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

You have a Lord Voldemollusk?!!

YOU HAVE A PLUSH CUTTLEFISH?!!! OMG

I AM SO TOTALLY $@&*%^@$&* JEALOUS

*laughs*

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

yes, yes, bask in my awesomeness.

I have a smallish collection of sea-related plushies at home. I should take pictures of them sometime so you can truly enjoy them. :D

[lewlinx.livejournal.com]

The Squid went everywhere!!!

The pictures are sooo funny!

Bring on the memories! LOL

[valis2.livejournal.com]

*makes righteous Squid fist*

hee!
