RIP Dave Prowse, music, The Withcing Hour and Rock Of Ages

I woke up today to see the sad news that Darth Vader and Green Cross Code Man actor Dave Browse has passed on to be with the force. He was a really lovely down to earth man and this photo represents a very treasured moment in my life.

Today was mostly made of music and reading. I stuck on a gothic rock and then a hard rock playlist and immersed myself in The Witching Hour, the first of the Lives Of The Mayfair Witches series by Anne Rice.

My usual Sunday roast was accompanied by the extended version of Rock Of Ages.

Star Wars Charity Convention @ Harold Hill Community Centre

Today we were up quite early as Sam, Aaron and I were heading off to Harold Hill to go to the Star Wars Charity Convention there.

This was my first change to break out my new Sith cosplay.

It was a bit of a trek to get there via public transport but boy was it worth it! The Star Wars characters on show were being represented by Iconic Legion (plus Darth Vader who was courtesy of the UK Garrison). Although I hadn't been officially trooped in the organisers were very happy for me to get involved. There were lots of guests there signing autographs all of whom had appeared in, or been involved with, Star Wars movies.

I did have to indulge my inner fan girl though as Dave Prowse was there.....

There were so many fantastic costumes in attendance and it was a great honour to have been involved.
