I must admit I went as a published author (albiet in the non-fic field) to several panels at CONvergence and was the only one dressed up...as a pirate, no less. At first, I got funny looks, mostly from the other writers on the panel, but when I said things that made sense to them and gave good advice, they tended to look past the Dressing Up in Costume Thing. For the main part.

I agree that Steampunk is probably dandy or anything of that ilk. Dressing up as Spock, on the other hand, might be harder to pull off. Still, showing a bit of cleavage is always a goodly and useful thing, I've found.

Can't wait to see your outfit!!!!!! I agree. Frumpy is BAD. I have this mortal terror of ending up frumpy someday. Being the strange old lady around town is more my goal.

Personally, I'll either wear a costume at a con or dress up as funky-cool-sexy as possible...which is a sort of costume, anyway.
