Debbie loves costuming and the costuming culture in fandom. She specializes in recreation of both fantasy and historical subjects, typically from movies, book covers, and her imagination. Debbie has regularly enjoyed participating in costuming contests both as a creator and as a judge. She won Best in Show at the 2004 Baycon and the 2011 Westercon. Debbie will participate in Baycon hall costuming this year, so keep a lookout for her and join in making Baycon a fun costuming experience!
