Meet Caitlin from Contagious Costuming!
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Caitlin this past weekend at Free Comic Book day over at Acme Comics, and I was absolutely blown away by her take on Thanos.  There were a ton of great cosplayers out this year, see my last post for some additional images, but in my very humble opinion, Lady Thanos took the MisguidedGeek prize for Cos-Of-The-Day!  Simply phenomenal work, great attention to details, just check out that head piece, the make up, and of course the chin!  Nice work all around, done by someone who, I picked up quickly in my short conversation with her, is passionate about their craft and thrilled to be a part of this culture.  
Caitlin is not alone in her passion for all things geeky here, and I think she is a testament to the often unseen, but always present, nerd culture in my home town of Greensboro North Carolina.  I am thrilled when I see our local dens of geekyness get some national and regional recognition, like Geeksboro, and Acme Comics (Eisner nominated and host of the first Comic Book City Con).  Caitlin thinks this is the “nerdiest city in NC”, a statement which I wholly agree with.  
I thank Caitlin very much for letting me share a little about her.  To learn more, or to see more shots of her Thanos, check out the Contagious Costuming Facebook Page, as well as the Cosplayer Chronicle video my buddy Blake did from Distractotron!

I love you Etsy.  Yes, that is indeed wooden 3.5 floppy coasters, just what every geek needs to spruce up that drab coffee table.
