Bazaar of the Bizarre photos

Taking part in this show was a real treat! The vendors were awesome and so were the mobs of all ages wandering amongst the tables. Amarina and I met some great people. Above, you can see the full spread including an amazing banner that my cohort surprised me with!

There were great responses, the best ones often wordless. A favourite was from a girl who was walking by aimlessly. She looked over at my table absentmindedly, gave a blink that was nearly a flinch and stopped. Then took a couple steps towards the table, leaned over for a closer look, shaking her head while smiling.

Below in the middle you can see Feral Meryl. I had a contest going (a brilliant idea thanks to Amarina) where contestants suggest what Meryl will fight and the winner would get a print of their idea for free. Only 4 were daring enough to cast a ballot. Since all of their suggestions were amazing I've decided they all win and I can't wait to do them all!

Though she looks quite sharp in her ceremonial attire, Feral Meryl is, as her name suggests, a bit savage. She guards the Empress and anything that comes through that door will wish it hadn't.

The winners were:

Mr. Brett of ChiZine Publications
Mr. Thomas of Imaginary Thomas
Ms. Ele of Minouette
and
Ms. Julia of the House of Reynardin

I'll reveal their suggestions as they are completed.

Was this in Toronto?

'Twas in Toronto, in part of a ballet studio. Though the only tutu I saw was on a renaissance fair goth. Yes, that's what I said.
