Yes early Sept can be warm, and around all those people with little air flow, well, people get sweaty. I know it gets busy, and people don't want to miss anything, but Shower is NOT the step to skip. Being in the hotel where everything is happening should even give more time. Last two years, I had to travel to the con from a different hotel, I just decreased my sleep time. Zombie.

And if at all possible, try for TWO SHOWERS a day.
I've been pondering buying loads of those little trail sized deoderants to carry around and hand out. Or something that smells nice that I could spray into the air.
I am very sensitive to smells, so the Con Funk REALLY got to me last year. Elevators on Monday were torture.

Yes it's sad when it's difficult to enjoy a panel cause the guy in costume next to you has worn the same costume for 3 days....

*wonders if she really want to go to the con that much*
*Febreeze!*
I have a solution, invite a febreeze standee to the con to hand out little free samples to the people in the sweatiest cotumes.
when I was working in the collage theatres a lot of the costumes, especially the makes, could ony be dry cleaned, so the end of every night as an antidote to the sweaty yukkiness - just imagine how sweaty a fat-suit wth up to 10 inches of padding can get - everything got almost drowned with febreeze and its cheaper knock offs. it works bloody well, I tend to carry a small travel bottle of it whenever I go away anywhere for when you've been to stinky smokers pubs and stuff.
For de-funking the atmosphere I would reccomend this stuff called Oust, it works on doggy wind and therefore has my undying affection. I would reccomend we stock up for the con 
Well, now that i've finished trying to sell other peoples products for them...
we at least should be ok with three costumes each, well, I have three, I have my pirate costume for pirate day, a lovely skirt in chinese print silk that is very Inara, that I thought I would bring along, and of course, the wackiest of the lot, my 'me' costume.
I understand if no-one wants to be seen with me in such outlandish apparel as my Me costume...
Tee hee.

I didn't dress up last year. I wore my 2 Firefly shirts and my Jayne hat. and I wore my red chinese dress to the Shindig we had (and some guy on the street thought I was "for sale" and tried to get me to get in his car!!!) but that was it. I wore my blue chinese shirt and carried a parasol in the parade.
This year, I'm considering throwing together a Saffron costume for the parade, just for fun. I wish D*C was after S3 because one of my goals is to get a sari when I'm in London (cuz I sure as heck can't get one around here!) and it'd be fun to wear one if we have another Shindig.
Needleseye was supposed to be making me an Inara style shirt like the one she wore to the BDMPP, but I haven't heard from her in months so I think I may have to give up the ghost on that.
So as of right now, I have the pirate costume.
And if KOL and I ever get our acts together, we may dress as Zoot and Dingo one day.
That's about it.
I cannot stand the smell of Febreeze. I tried it once since the carpet in my old apartment was old and musty smelling. Didn't like it. But I've never tried Oust.

For special occassions such as meeting with swell Browncoat folk, I am ever willing to upgrade to golf shirts -- they have collars -- above my shorts/Levis.
As for dresses, anything of sufficient length to cover the hairy legs. Fortunately I don't require a bra, lucky me! Then again, sadly, corsets just won't work 
Transvestitically,

yeah, febreeze in itself is a little hinky, but is better than the alternative.
I like this cheap knock off stuff you can get in one of the local pound shops round here, it smells like talcum powder.
The ferret likes it, I sprayed the cat bed the other day and got it on me and the ferret tried to eat my jumper. Makes a nice change from her trying to eat me.

While you do look divine in a dress, Cozen, I prefer you in more masculine attire.

yeah, stock up on oust, and other nice smelling stuff. I always take about 2x the number of shirts I need just in case. Oh! I just saw a friend over the weekend that I hadn't seen since before Christmas, and they gave me a Jayne Hat tm! woo hoo! Now I can walk down the street and everyone will know I'm not afraid of anything.
