Just for kicks!

The Malice Domestic banquet was a whole lot of fun!






You might wonder how it came to be that a stuffed werewolf was among our boon companions for dinner? Well, Dana Cameron hosted our table and created an amazing gift bag that was a lot of fun to dig into. My werewolf instigated trouble among his brethren of course. The only part we managed to photograph was the werewolf Rockette kick line.




And if you're wondering about the button (Because I'm the agent that's why) it was a gift from an author with a very dark and twisted sense of humor. (Which is one of the many reasons I adore Toni L.P. Kelner!)

All the fun we had at dinner was mere foreshadowing to the giddy excitement of Dana Cameron winning the Agatha for her short story "The Night Things Changed."










Thanks to Gigi Pandian for the photos (and the art direction and werewolf stylist work too!) I was very glad to find myself sitting next to Gigi at dinner. She's a part of Sophie Littlefield's posse of merrymakers and a darn good writer as well.

The werewolf is adorable. And the button sums it up well!

That looks like so much fun. I'm glad you got a chance to go.

You certainly are an interesting combination of character traits, Janet.

That's a compliment, in case you weren't sure.

Those puppies look far too cute to be werewolves. I would just want to scoop them up and cuddle them.

I hear that's a bad idea when it comes to werewolves.

Pretty cute looking werewolf!

I love that the trophy is a teapot! Wonderful.

Amber Lynn Argyle said...

I want one! (The award and the werewolf) ;)

I initially read the button as 'Beer! I'm the agent, that's why.'

Janet, I hate to break it to you - those aren't werewolves. They're cute little puppy dogs.

Dana said...

Thanks, everyone! Malice Domestic is a terrific event and an wonderfully friendly convention. They put on a great show this year, as always.

Yes, they are certified werewolves, and we had a lot of fun with them (some more than others, clearly). Now that we know the Fangborn Army can dance in precision formation...well.

Janet, now I know what all the scurrying was about when I got back from the ladies room! Only you could envision werewolves as Rockettes. Brava!

I keep looking at the werewolf Rockettes. I don't know why.

(Wait. They're puppy dogs??)

Congrats, Dana!
