I'm posting this mostly as a way to archive this. Someone just sent me a link to an article about the Slave Leia costume, and I was mentioned in the article!
They didn't actually talk to me or approach me or ask my permission or anything, but I am mentioned by name and paraphrased in 2 places. Well, they mentioned my name in one place and they took a comment I made in an essay I wrote at the end.

Yay! *bounce* I'm overall happy with the mention I was given, and I was the *only* fan-in-costume that was mentioned by name at all who wasn't already a celebrity. It would have been nice to have a link back to my website, but they did link to the Leia's Metal Bikini site, which has my profile and a link to my website in the fans-in-costume section.
Also, on the subject of being "famous", I just received a request from the Kinsey Institute to add my Poly Through History page of my website to their Polyamory section. Yay!
