It ain’t a fan convention unless someone dresses up

Yes, a lot of people dressed up for BlizzCon this year. But did you actually make it to the costume constest? Register photographer Rose Palmisano did.
The “Mistress of Pain,” pictured on right, won first place for best costume during the BlizzCon costume contest, sponsored by Nvidia. What an outfit! Can you imagine walking the packed halls in that ensemble?
Check out some of the entrants this year in her photo slide show.
Blizzard has posted photos as well via its Twitter page.

Some of these folks put a lot of work into those costumes! Most look pretty professional!
great pics, blood elf my fav! long live WOW !!!! excellent coverage OCR!
looked like a fun event
sadly the main hall was so crowded that we couldn’t get seats for the costume contest but I managed to see several of the cosplayers during a scheduled meet-up a few hours before the contest… the “Mistress of Pain” outfit was amazing at that time even though it was not the full costume that was on stage for the contest.
But sadly, I missed some of them that were shown in here… I was hoping that more of the cosplayers would show up at the meet-up/photo session.
Nice, what a big turn out!
They really go all out, don’t they?
How fun!
