The Men of Dragon*Con

The Men of Dragon*Con

There's something for everyone at Dragon*Con! To balance the universe (and to complement yesterday's post about the Women of Dragon*Con), here's a bit about the Men of Dragon*Con...

Dragon*Con is not the convention of yesteryear. Even though the media erroneously and insistently (read "rudely") continue to refer to our conventioneers as "geeks and freaks," have a look for yourself and you decide...I think they're something quite beyond that (in a good way, of course).

The guys' costumes at Dragon*Con are inventive, worn with confidence, and many are quite revealing...these men are not timid nor shy! They're handsome and sexy (as are their female counterparts) and I wouldn't want to be the one who called them anything else...especially any of the ones with the huge biceps or a light saber! There's a healthy dose of villainy, drama, and a lot of fun thrown in, as well.

The Men of Dragon*Con are all about superheroes, villains, steam punk, zombies, and a lot of outright fun. The best thing...any of them are more than happy to pose for a photo. So, if you're one of the 40,000-50,000 who will be attending Dragon*Con 2011, make sure to remember your camera...you're going to want to post those pix on Facebook!

I'm serious about the media and their name-calling...intentional or not. Take good look reporters! Just like the Women of Dragon*Con, these dudes are "handsome and sexy." Keep it up with the insults and one of these muscle-bound numbers just might kick some reporter butt. Just sayin'.

The list of male celebrities attending Dragon*Con this year is just as impressive as the costumes being worn by conventioneers. The male celebrity I am most looking forward to meeting is a two-way tie: Leonard Nimoy (Spock on Star Trek), who I met nearly a decade ago, and Sam Witwer (Battlestar Galactica and Being Human).

Also slatted to attend (and certainly also available for autographs) are: Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5), Joel Gretsch (Taken and V), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), and William Shatner, the original Captain James T. Kirk.
