American Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to the hardest hit areas of Katrina’s destruction, supplying hundreds of
thousands victims left homeless with critical necessities. By making a financial gift to Hurricane 2005 Relief, the Red
Cross can provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those in need.
DragonCon lures people in from all over the country with the promise of a
weekend of freedom and fantasy. For four days you can leave your three-piece
suit behind and transform yourself into mythical creatures, sexy sirens or bold
warriors. There are two major costume contests at DragonCon. The "Dawn"
lookalike contest and the DragonCon Costume contest. These competitions are not
the only times that thousands of conventioneers wear their creations. DragonCon
is a 24-hour a day event. The later it gets, the more risqué the costumes. The
images below are just a few that I took during the
convention.
