Young Hollywood

What's up, baby? What's up guys, Audrey here at wonderful Wonder Con where I am hanging out with some of your favorite stars and some of my favorite people, nerds. So tell me about your costume?

Guest

Um, mine is called Regency Ray, so it's a bit of Star Wars mash up with a Regency time period. It's based off of a fan art by The real McGee on Tumblr. It's a really good like little mash up. It makes her a little more elegant, shows Rey in a different light. It's very, very pretty and of course I have a light saber and to go with it.

Young Hollywood

Can I try this out?

Guest

Exactly.

Young Hollywood

I feel like so powerful right now. I just Can I just have thing. No! Come back! And what about your costume? Second guest: Um, to be honest, I put it together at 7:00 AM this morning. So,

Young Hollywood

So this is just a rush job. Second guest: Yes.

Young Hollywood

I have an idea for you. It's like a goth red riding hood. There you go. Black riding hood. With a light saber. I mean everything's better with a light saber.

Jon Snow Is Alive

So I knew you weren't dead.

Young Hollywood

No. I knew it.

Jon Snow Is Alive

No, still very much alive and here.

Young Hollywood

How long did it take you to get this whole outfit together?

Jon Snow Is Alive

Uh, well, I mean I've been working on it overall for the last four years but you know, initially it took like about six to eight months. Yeah, yeah.

Young Hollywood

Did you grow out your hair just to be Jon Snow?

Jon Snow Is Alive

I had long hair. I grew out the facial hair. I don't usually have facial hair.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. I was going to say the hair is really convenient.

Jon Snow Is Alive

Oh no, yeah, the hair, yeah. I mean it was a convenient character for me to be. No no no. Except I don't know, I don't know anything.

Young Hollywood

I love that someone just yelled you know nothing.

Jon Snow Is Alive

I heard it about 500 times today. That and I knew you were alive and winter is coming. Those are the three I hear all the time.

Young Hollywood

How would you hashtag Wonder Con?

Jon Snow Is Alive

Uh, hashtag Awesome Con. Hashtag he's alive. Yeah, yeah. Hashtag we knew it. Hashtag it was not that big of a surprise. Sore feet. Hashtag sore

Young Hollywood

I feel you on that one. How about you? Second guest: Yeah, my calves are pretty sore. Sore calves, sore feet. Yeah, legs about to fall off. Yeah, yeah. It's a lot of walking.

Young Hollywood

Let's see like what's in your bag. Second guest: There's nothing. Just have the intro program.

Young Hollywood

What? That is a giant fail. Do you plan on at least like filling this up with stuff? Second guest: This is my first time at Wonder Con. So you know, I've never been to anything like this before so. I mean I have no excuse. I talked to some people but they didn't give me free stuff, so I mean, what am I going to do?

Young Hollywood

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe that they let you in with those.

Guest

Well, not without a little bit of uh gorilla tape. I taped up the tips.

Young Hollywood

How long did it take for you to put this together?

Guest

Actually, it took probably at least like three to four days. A little bit of imagination and lots and lots of gorilla tape.

Young Hollywood

Did you piece this all together yourself?

Guest

Yes. I did a little shopping at the neighborhood thrift store. I bought a whole bunch of belts, purses, went over to Home Depot, bought some PVC pipe. So I just kind of put the whole thing together and it you know, it came out great.

Young Hollywood

Have you seen other Edward Scissorhands around?

Guest

No, there's only one.

Young Hollywood

What would happen if you saw another one?

Guest

I think I there can only be one at Wonder Con. Not necessarily.

Young Hollywood

Oh you're willing to share?

Guest

I'm willing to share, that's okay. As as long as they're Tim Burton fans that's that's all good.

Young Hollywood

Okay nerds, that does it for me at Wonder Con. I gotta go pick up a light saber before the shop closes, okay? So. Excuse me.
