| YES INDEED. THERE SHALL BE POSING. (It won't be any specific movie costume, because I am not wealthy enough to source eg, red snakeskin leather trousers in my size before Expo. But it shall be mighty.) (And Pez shall be Hansel, of course. http://cosplayisland.com/costume/view/31286) Edit: Wig's styled (will need a touch-up on the day, ofc), everything else is bought/arrived/adjusted as necessary. All set for Expo! | |

Headband (Posted 24th October 2010) I've done the only bit of sewing I'll do for this costume--extending the headband. As a stretchy headband it wouldn't sit properly on the wig; I've adapted it into a tie-on headband instead so it won't put the same sort of pressure on the wig fibres. So, uh, I think that makes this costume complete. Roll on Expo! |
|
Clothing, wig (Posted 15th October 2010) Well, I bought a totally appropriate suit (it's reversible--black leather one side, cream snakeskin on the other, and I giggle just typing that), a shiny dark-snakeskin-patterned top, and some low-heeled boots. All from the wondrous place that is ebay. Apparently there are now several large parcels waiting in my office for me at work. *rubs hands together gleefully* The wig has been styled and trimmed. Needs more gel/spray to get it *properly* upright, but is pretty impressive even now. |
|
Ebay trawling (Posted 5th October 2010) This cosplay could so easily be a closet cosplay, except that my closet doesn't actually contain enough snakeskin, leather, pvc or FABULOUS coats. Or any shiny suits. So the ebay trawling begins. So far I've bought a top, a jacket and a headband. I've also bid on some plausible-looking trousers. I need to get boots/shoes, but I think I might want to do so after I've assembled the rest of the costume--shoes make an outfit, after all. |

This immense! Love the film and a brilliant cosplay - perfect blue steel!
Heh, thanks! I loved doing this so much. :)
Absolutely FABULOUS! Perfect costume, poses and model looks XD
I really must find a reason to rewear this... :D
This may posibly be the best thing ever! I don't know how you two always do it. You come up with amazingly original cosplays and pull them off to a T.
Heh, I'm not sure we're always that original; it's just that we go for characters we love or which make us giggle incessantly. :D
I can't believe I haven't commented on this. Love you for doing this costume ^_^.
Heh, thanks - one day we'll dig 'em out for a rewear, they were so much fun.
