Life is Difficult

Ok guys. Unfortunately, Morgan and I manged to get a hotel with no wifi, and if that wasn't bad enough, our blog wasn't recieving the text updates that we were sending it. Boo!!! Because of these circumstances, we will not be able to post videos during the Con. Please bear with us, as we will post everything when we go back home.

In addition, Morgan and I had technical diffculties with the car cam, so that didn't happen according to plan either. Oops. But we won't give up just yet! We are here to have fun this weekend, and fun is what we are doing.

Today has been a busy day already, but Morgan and I are starting to realize how small the Sherlock fandom is in America, or at least the south. From the reactions we have seen so far, only about 10 people have recognized us as "Sherlock and John". It makes us a little sad, but as stated before, we are still enjoying ourselves with all the panels. So suck it! (via psych)

Fandoms and Hair Dye

As we spiral ever closer to Dragon*Con, we decided to do a brief video so that all you lovely people can get to know a little bit more about Morgan and me. We will be the first to admit that we are very strange, but we see no reason why you shouldn't miss out on our shenanigans!


Besides that bit of chaos, Morgan and I are fully prepared as of now! We have determined which outfits look go together, how to pose for pictures, and have our cards to give out so that we can get a copy of the pictures anyone takes. And, of course, we are so pumped to just be going.

Guys, this is it! It's Dragon*Con Time!

It's Getting Closer!

  So, we're three days away from the first night of Dragon Con and things are really falling together well. We coordinated outfits and bought a few last minute items (I'll give you a small preview of our first video: hair dye was a purchase!).
  My hope is that we meet some people who truly enjoy our cosplay and that we have tons of fun. Also, our first video should be coming up soon, most likely Wednesday or Thursday, so if you are interested, there will be a link on the blog page, and it will be up on Youtube too.
  Another thing coming to the blog is a segment we like to call "Frozen Yogurt and Body Counts". This started as a wondering of how many bodies actually pile up in TV shows. We started with the 3rd season of Teen Wolf, which had 14 (or 215, if you count the Glen Capri suicides) total deaths. I recently got McKenna to watch Merlin with me (I've seen up to the 4th season, but know all that happens anyway...stupid Tumblr and Pinterest) and we'll tell you the first season tally when we complete it soon. Hopefully, this can be a recurring thing in our blog!

See you soon!

Countdown to DragonCon

Ok, if you read our description, you know we are female Sherlock and John cosplayers. But if you are wondering about the blog name and how it pertains to Sherlock, we have a reason. For those of you who do not know, the Baker Street of the show is actually not Baker Street, but North Gower. We used that (not only for the alliteration), but as a nod to the production. We are heading to Atlanta this year for DragonCon, armed with purple shirts, scarves, cell phones, and (water)guns. It's nine days out from DragonCon and everything is getting put into place for our time there. We have been preparing for this since February and we are getting really excited. We will be around the Brit track a lot, as well as the video game, Star Wars, Star Trek, and the Middle Earth tracks. We hope to meet some awesome people. Also, we would love to see any photos and videos you take of us while we're there, so send them to sherley.and.johanna@gmail.com.

Sincerely,
Sherley and Johanna
