Wizard World Philly and the Debut of Catwoman

So things have been crazy lately but in a good way. I had the pleasure of going to Wizard World Philly for the first time ever a few weeks ago.  Since it was a time for new firsts I thought it fitting to debute my Catwoman cosplay there.  I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I went with my good friend Jackie.  She does a lot of DC character cosplays like Harley Quinn and Nightwing.  You can see her stuff here at XaioyuCosplay.

Our hotel turned out to be right across the street from the con which was really convenient.  The first day we just scoped the place out and met with some of the vendors.  It was a good way to learn the layout of the convention.  The room was a suit too which made it even better.

Friday I did my Catwoman cosplay and Jackie did her Nightwing.  We had tons of fun running around the convention.  

One of the best things that happened that day was I got to meet James Marsters!!!!!!!!!
The coolest thing was he knew who we were!  That made me happy because most people know who Catwoman is but not as many know Nightwing unless you are into comics.  I had to get an extra copy of this picture for my mom.  When I told her she freaked out! lol!

There were lots of fun things to see at the convention.  They even had the old school Batmobile, Kit from Knight Ridder and the DeLorean from Back to the Future.

The people running the Batmobile booth liked us so much that they requested us to come back on Saturday to take more picture with the car.

I had a little freak out moment when I saw Kit.  I was so excited.  Luckily I was able to get lots of pictures with him. 
Saturday was the only day that conventions was super crowded.  I wasn't too bad though since the area was huge. 
I started off the day with my Bayonetta cosplay.  Surprisingly a lot of people knew who I was.  I wasn't sure if they would or not since Wizard World is primarily a comic convention.

I had fun running around.  The best quote of the day happened when I was walking past a group of con-goers.  One said "Awe snap! Bayonetta" and it made me laugh.

Later that day I changed back into Catwoman and Jackie and I went back to see the people at the Batmobile booth and got more pictures taken.  
There was another group of DC cosplayers there too and they looked amazing!  Turned out Jackie knew some of them.
We ended up hanging out with them for a good while.

Sunday was basically a get everything you didn't by before, pack up your stuff and go home kind of day.  

I didn't wan to leave because I had so much fun.  Wizard World had some of the nicest cosplayers I've ever met.  The vendors were awesome and there was so much to do!  I will definitely be going again next year!
