Dear Costuming Track Fans,

[costuming-track.livejournal.com]

Once again we need your help in supporting DragonCon's 2012 charity of choice. Last year, you helped raise over $1900 with the masks you donated in support of The Inclusion Project.

With last year’s success, Dragon*Con is asking each of us to again help with this year’s charity ball. This year, we’ll be supporting the ALS Association. In celebration of ‘the end of the world,’ this year’s event has a Mayan theme, where attendees are encouraged (but not required) to dress in Mayan attire,... including headdresses. We’re asking that you please consider donating a hand-crafted Mayan headdress to be sold for this event. Either traditional or modern interpretations are welcomed.

Please contact costuming@dragoncon.org if you would like to donate headdresses, or they can be dropped off at the Track Room from 11a - 4p on Fri, Aug 31, 2012.

Also, leading up to Dragon*Con this year, we will be hosting events where everyone may gather to work on their headdresses; the first being on Saturday, May 26th from 10a-2p at InTown Quilters - 1058 Mistletoe Road Decatur, GA 30033. Look for future dates on the Costuming Track Facebook page!

For more information about this year’s charity drive, please visit DragonCon’s website at: http://www.dragoncon.org/charity.php

o.O That text is tiny.

Just a heads up/reminder--if anyone is using found feathers for this, make sure that it's not from an endangered species/bird of prey. You have to be a card carrying native american to use those. (There are regulations even to that, but I am not familiar with them.) DNR doesn't differentiate much between a feather you found by the road or in a field and one from a bird you shot yourself, since they can't really know if you ACTUALLY found it by the road or not. The creator, eventual purchaser, and possibly even the con (I'm not sure about that, but they'd be the ones selling it, so it's quite likely) could end up with fines or jail time.
