Ribbons!

Hey, folks -- the Bay Area convention season is kicking off, and that means it's time to return to our fannish roots and celebrate with geeky bling. I mean, of course, BADGE RIBBONS. Because nothing says 'love' like pieces of fabric that you can stick to yourself. (Some people say that ribbons are over. I say that these are people who never played Halloweentown fairy princess when they were kids. We shall love our accessories until we die.)

So what do you think I should put on ribbons for this year? Suggest anything you like, from the silly to the sublime, and we'll see where things wind up going. Suggest a ribbon that I actually make, and I'll send you one, even if you're not attending the convention. Keep in mind that we're trying to drum up interest and attract attention, but should still make a vague amount of sense while we're doing it.

Game on!

My Other Body Is a Fish

I Survived a Horror Movie--Ask Me How!
How could I forget:

Dino Dance Party!
Nibbled to death by ducks

and bring some to DucKon so I can has ribbon, please
Or just "Ducks" with the end ragged as though nibbled off.
October comes early this year.
Rosemary & Rue 9-1-09
I was thinking "Rue the Day" and the date.
Or, to be particularly evil, "Rue the Daye".

Cookies for Coyote.

Epidemiologist in training

Rat fleas don't care.

Probably will think of a few more later *grin*

Bright orange - "Do you know where your rosemary is?"

Black with glitter - "Follow me to the Babylon Wood"
"Volunteers too much."

"Sanity-saving demideity."

"I have cookies!"
"Seanan-ista"

Zombie Minion

Honorary Rosette (probably a limited-edition ribbon)

A New Daye Dawns 9/1/09



Alive or dead, the truth won't rest!
The turtle cannot help me.

Ribbons are NOT over!

Braaaaaaiins!

Chainsaws - not just for zombies.
(alt: Chainsaws - not just for zombies anymore)

Zombies are love
My Little Ponies are love
My Little Zombies are love

Time Lords Against PDT
(pacific daylight time)
Time Lords For PDT
(after all, I don't know your opinion on the matter)
Time Lords For Daylight Savings
Time Lords Against Dalight Savings
(same as above but geography-agnostic)

Time Lord in Training

Love, Roses, and Chainsaws!






Rosemary: that's for Remembrance
Rue: wear it with a Difference

(assuming that the title is inspired by Ophelia in Hamlet.)
Okay, it's absurd, but I keep thinking of it so I'll say it: Toby or not Toby? (Needs a fish illustration, ideally.)

I really like Rue the Daye suggested above, though, especially if you add the 9/1/09 date to it.
A couple years ago, a friend submitted the following ribbon order:
"machine! Eureka, I have invented a time"
The printer *helpfully* corrected the mistaken word order....
(she was pissed)
I need to order a few of those.....
DDP=sanity
Borrowing bits I liked from two of the above: "Cryptozoologist in Training"

"Ask me about Toby"

"What recipe uses rosemary and rue?"
Conzombie or honorary zombie or something like? I certainly think it fits LOTS of people by the end of the con.
