Interesting choice! Another sweet costume for you!

lol 'interesting choice' ^_^ I can't explain why I keep going for these.. All I know is I'm having a lot of fun. :P

Toyah Wilcox! There's a blast from the past!
Look forward to seeing this - I'm sure you'll do her proud :-)

OMG! I love Toyah. I've been a fan of hers for years (ever since the 80's). I can't wait to see this.

Ahh I'm glad there is some love for Toyah ^_^

Lunar_Kitten - I think she would love what I've got planned for the stage performance. ;)

Sephy - I'm really excited about this cosplay, I'm sure it is gonna be soooo much fun. :D

Hmm... curious!

ha ha ha ^_^ ..umm take a look at her recent music video release...;P

I' been getting some of her moves and mannerisms down.. so hopefully will look like the real Toyah is there on stage perfoming. ..I'm not cloniing the video moves though, it will be my own take, a bit like what I did with Velma Kelly cosplay.

Mother funking Win!!!

Well Expo is around the corner, you wearing this costume? or do you think you'll be still making it dueing Expo time lol

It'll be easy to spot you in that costume so I'll come and say hello when I see yer lol

I'll be Princess Peach incase your wondering lol

lol ^_^ I am...trying really hard to get my costumes finished in time! :P
..working some more on the main body panel right now. :) I wrekon this will be finished by the end of the week. Have to admit though - the boots are so high theres's no way I can walk around Expo all day in them, my feet would be dead by the time masquerade came around. So I think I will have to wear something lower during walkabout and just put the killer heels on for the masquerade. Now I know why they are called killer heels! ^_^

I shall defo look out for ya at Expo. :)

Holy Moly!

Boot's of doom!

^o.o^ Someone will have to follow you around with a seat all day just incase!

Haha, But they are lovely and what a find!!<3

Looking foward to seeing more pictures of this!! It's going to be so epic 8) <3

Yeah see what I mean :P
Defo will not be walking around in those all day.

Those are scary heels indeed! Pumps on standby XD

^_^ yep rescue shoes on standby :D

Amazing progress as always! Can't wait to see the finished result :3

Nice boobies XD

Seriously though, looks fantastic, I am in awe :D

^_^ thanks guys.

I might use these afterwards for super heroine cosplays, especially where there is cleavage on displ. I wan to see if I can cast the shape in something pliable like latex or somethin..

BOOOBIESSSSS, STEVE CAN I MOTORBOAT YOU IN MAY !

That breastplate is coming along brilliantly! Such Talent!

Work on the breastplate is looking fantastic!

Thanks for the compliments guys. ^_^
Reiss - lol depends...urrrrrrrrrrr.. what is motorboat? :)

when i put my head inbetween ur breasts , move my head from boob to boob blowing, which makes a motorboat sound lmao

lmao, I knew it had to be somethin like that.. listen mate there's only one pair of boobs you should be motorboating!!! ;P
But ok if someone can capture the moment in a piccie I think twould be an awesome cosplay moment..the stuff of legends!.. XD

Aww mate this is starting to take shape! Really nice work!

Cheers luke. (This is the sort of thing I was thinking of for a Star Saphire costume. It would be cool if could mould it out of something softer). :)

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw it, we all need to see that for LFCC I mean Catwoman would be radical! but Star Sapphire would radical!

I'll do some experiments with moulding after Expo.. :)

well would you be doing the Modern version? or the 1950s version?

those are some really nice boobs! lol progress is looking great =)

:) Thanks Gracey

Luke I just uploaded the Star Saphire into my costumes, need your help with info though ;)

Sexy Sexy Steve!

-Tab

Jesus christ Steve can you say spot on cosplay! you suit this sooo much! ^^

Oh gosh this is looking GORGEOUS!
I love those boots *3*

hmmm seems like your doing well here^__^

looks like you just got the boots to finish^_^

This look amazing! xx

Those boots! @.@~

Your going to have a long painting job on those boots ahead of you!

so far you look stunning as always sweetheart! <3

Wow!
I dont know who this is meant to be but damn it looks good! :D

Aww Thanks guys ^_^ youre so sweet.
Yeah boots are the main thing left to finish. And there is some fine tuning and finishing off needed still.

Looking goooooooooood sweetie xD

Still think this looks so damn awesome! :D

Wow, this is really coming along!

Thanks guys. ^_^

This looks so cool i can't wait to see it ^^

Thanks. The boots will most likely just be Red though..cuz I just tried painting flames all over them and it looked very rubbish ¬_¬ So I stripped that paint off and now I'm just painting them all over Red. (..Running out of time and I still need to make my other Expo costume yet!)

wowy!! the brest plate looks amazing! i want one haha >__<

Thanks ^_^ Yep this costume is all but finished now. I think I will have another attempt at paintintg flame patterns on the boots if there is time.

I hope you can those boots are to die for ^__^

Really loved your Toyah costume hun! :D

This looked absolutely amazing on stage.

You were fantastic! :)

FairyPorchQueen - your comment inspired me to have another attempt at painting the flames on the boots.. I'm so glad I did cuz lots of people liked the boots on the day and I think it added to the cosplay. Even if it did take another whole day of painting.

Thanks MangaGirl and Toshi-chan. It was slightly risque, but fun to cosplay. ^_^

Wow Nice meeting you at the Expo Masquerade line! You helped me out a lot ^^ This really was awesome and loved your skit! Can't wait to see what you do next!

Thanks sora. I'm glad your cosplay worked so well on stage. ^_^

Next cosplay performance is Darth Maul in Oct. That will be very different from everything Ive done so far.. (My first male cosplay).

Hmmm, I honestly thought I had commented on this. Great to meet you briefly in the masquerade queue. really nice to see your Awesome costume in person, especially the work on your torso and boots!! ^__^

Saw the pics! :) you looked amazing!

Thanks guys. Yeah I was pleased how close the costume turned out.

Ryuk, give it about a week and Tonyo should have the masquerade vid up. :)

Steve.... Your just too much :P

I can't believe i still didnt get to see you ):

Aww Charlotte, dont worry the only people that I saw were in the masquerade queue, cuz I arrived lateish on Sat and I just couldnt get in a hotel anywhere so I had to travel back home (3and half hour drive) then do it all again on Sun. Now everyone tells me you must book hotels about 3 months in advance. So thats what I will do next time..then I'll have all day to walk arund expo and meet people. :) Well at least you can see the performances on Youtube when Tonyo loads them up. As usual I had lots of fun on stage. XD

James -

:P

..Oct lets see if I can make a good male cosplay.. :)

Aww, I'm in your piccies! Thanks Steve *blushes*
You looked fab as Toyah; you really fit the part. I was singing along backstage! XD
PS, can't wait for Darth Maul ... people won't recognise you!

Yeah those are the piccies from the guy backstage with the big camera. I think you look great in them - feel free to use them /edit them for your Kiki pics if you want.

Cosplaying Toyah in this costume was a lot of fun. The audience were awesome as always :)

I think you are right, Darth Maul couldn't be further away from what Ive done so far..I don't think people will recognise me either. :S

im so glad i got to see this performace in real life :D

man I missed seeing you both days! Sucky!
But awesome performance I head and looks great!!

You looked GORGEOUS in this! Well done!

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it. :)

damn, this turned out beautiful! You look fabulous in red! :D
How did the boots survive though? I thought acrylic paint on boots, especially thigh-highs, would crack up? Either way you did a great job on this, I'm gonna see if I can find a vid of your performance on youtube! ^^

Adamoluna - Thanks ^_^
Missed you and your costumes at Expo. I guess you must be busy with work?

The acrylic paint didnt crack. I cleaned the boots first with detergent to get rid of any polish. The paint stuck ok enough for cosplay.. but it sort of covered the PVC like a thin pliable skin which is quite fragile. eg I scuffed the toes against each other afterwards and a patch came off. Maybe a clear coat of something would make them a bit more hardy. But as I say it survived for the cosplay and thats what I really wanted. I guess it could be applied more permenantly eg If I had roughed the PVC lightly and then spray painted with plastic primer first (like what they use for car bumpers) then applied the acrylic paint.. But handpainting it straight on was too tempting for me XD

Heres the link to the performance - ffwd to 3:30 for my bit

You looked so good in this costume! your masquerade performance was really fun aswell :) x

Thanks Gracey, ..darling :P
Ohhhh I like fun. :)

wo0w the ref and ur cozplay look so alike! ur soooooooooo awseom

^_^ Thanks PandaFace.

Am i right in thinking you used PVA instead of water when mixing the polyfilla?
I used it in the past but just with water and i have to say it isn't the sturdiest

Yes that's it exactly. (also in journal..) Powder filler mixed with PVA white glue and a little water. Mix to a smooth paste. It set so hard I had to use metal tools to file it down.

Those are killer boots, awsum performance in May xx

Thanks Sasashie. ^_^ They would have been killer on my feet too, if I hadn't bought some of those cushion inserts. Cushion inserts are like feet saviours!
Expo needs more seating, for cosplayers wearing heels like this. ^_^

Wow! Great job. Love the boots. The breastplate looks really spot on. Great job.

Thanks Sephy. :)
