Let's see. I've forgotten the name of the lady on the left, with the doll.
Judy Mitchell is in the white t-shirt. Then me in goth Gothic, Dawn gone
wild, and Tearose. The glow-sticks were being used as admission tokens and
are not parts of the costumes!

My friend Don, who was at my elbow snapping pictures for most of the con,
has just put up a few on his blog. This is an anime blog so he's focused
mostly on cosplay costumes (most of which go right over my head), but
there are others here too, and he'll be posting much more in the next few
days. For now:

Second photo is the Best In Show group entry of "Trinity Blood." About
halfway down are Dawn and Tearose as pirates (there was a pirate theme for
hall costumes one day). The pseudo-Munsch picture is the back of a bowling
shirt; some time ago the St. Louis Costume Guild did a series of shirts in
the styles of various artists. Below that is a junior masquerade entry
that won an award for being "Too Cute To Live." I don't know the rest.

These are mostly from the masquerades. Top, Gypsy Ames in a truly
impressive Hindu-goddess-inspired-something- or-other; I was too bedazzled
to note the name as her presentation was a showstopper. A bit lower is a
manticore that also won a top masquerade award; I learned later that the
fellow inside works with big cats for a living, which may explain why he
moved so realistically in that thing. Some ways down, the woman with the
flower in her hair and the dotty dress is the 1940s torch singer who won
Best In Show at the historical masquerade; I was amused to see later,
close up, that the dots on the dress are actually little chickens. Then a
masquerade entry "The Eyes and Ears of Pharoah," and below that a very
beautiful and fanciful interpretation (with moving stick puppets) of the
Hobbit. And ending with Don and me in our Goth-ic, already posted here.

I probably missed some h-costumers in my sporadic IDs. Identify
yourselves!

More to come.
