Pop Culture Expo Gallery, Day 1!

A new convention tried to establish itself over this past weekend in Massachusetts. While most estimates were that the overall attendance at Pop Culture Expo in Wilmington, Mass., was quite significantly below what the promoters were hoping for, the number and quality of cosplayers was pleasantly surprising. I was lucky enough to be asked to be a judge in the cosplay contests for both Saturday and Sunday, alongside the amazing BelleChere, and Danielle Mackey, perhaps better known to World of Warcraft fans as Panser and to TV fans as a contestant on the first season of King of the Nerds.

In the gallery below, you will see all sorts of cosplayers. The shots on the stage are from the costume contest, including the three winners of the children’s category, and the three winners of the adult category. First place went to Bumblebee, made and worn by Extreme Costumes. The best group category winners were the five Judges from the Judge Dredd comic book series. Special shout out to contest MC Benn Robbins of Robbins Studio Photography & Fine Art. Not only a great MC, he is a talented photographer, film maker, comic book artist, voice-over actor and Lord only knows what else.
