Weeping angel costume

I got these links from [livejournal.com profile] fangrrl_squees and had to pass them on. One of the people at Dragon*Con dressed up as a Weeping Angel (from the Doctor Who episode Blink) and even frightened Jewel Staite (there's a picture). The costume is absolutely stunning.

Guaranteed to scare children of all ages from 9 to 99!

It would have worked on me when she moved!

It might have startled me, but then my nerves are on a hair trigger anyway. I totally cracked up my brother when he startled me by saying "Boo" just as I was coming out of the bathroom. I jumped so hard I left the floor not once but twice. He said it was like I'd been electrocuted. As I'd been hanging onto the light cord at the time it was then referred to as "the light switch dance".

I sometimes jump when a door opens, even when I've heard steps approaching, but I'm not that bad. I worked with someone like you and people used to ring her mobile while it was on silent buzz just to make her leap during meetings.

No fair! Did she end up switching her mobile off during meetings then?

No; she was pretty good about it. I never jumped out at her like a colleague did either or try to startle her. Actually the only time I scared her was when I showed her a tiny wooden ladybug in a walnut shell (my computer bug) and the legs move because they're on fine wires. She screamed!

She's remained a good friend; I must catch up with her. :-)
