Linked to the World











{August 1, 2010}   Costumes for Comic Con 2011

Well, today Comic Con has been over for exactly a week and I’m already planning for next year.

The fourth Doctor, while not as popular as Link, was more popular than I expected so it will be coming back next year. Now I just need to find a guy’s suit for my Tenth costume and we’ll be set to go.

Link will defiantly be coming back next year. I was very surprised with just how popular Link was, I love surprises :-P. Now, to see if my sheik costume will fit a guy. I made it for me but I bet it will transfer just fine.

Now to the new costumes.

I bought these and I simply must make a costume for them.

 So far ideas have been

Batgirl

Or Female Zorro

(Of course My costumes will not be exactly like the images above lol)

Anyone have any other ideas?

 

Now! On to the big new costume. The faun.

No, not this one

Still going to be Narnianish though I hope

I’m starting out with these shoes

2″ platform, 6″ total added height. Yeah, I’m going to be 6’6″ in this costume 😛 At least I decided against these

Add hooves over the toe

I’ll have some “feathering” Around the foot similar to some of the larger draft horses and I’m considering some “shoes similar to this

I’m using this fur fabric

As you can see the strips are wide enough that I’ll have the dark part on top and the light underneath

 

I’ll have these ears and horns

 

As for clothes I bought a lacy/leafy looking shirt and then over that I’m making a cute short leather vest from a leather jacket. I’ll also be making arm bracers from that jacket. This is the green shirt with the very roughest of cuts for the vest so far.

 

I’m going to also have organic looking  jewelry, leather arm bands, and I’ll be wearing my belt and bags from my Link costume so I have a place to carry things.

I’m also making a “skirt”. It’s going to be two pieces of fabric attached to a light belt. I’m making this from this scarf.

 

And I’ll be carrying a pan flute

 

So, super excited about this costume! 😀

OMG – you certainly make a hot batgirl!

the only problem is if I was with you, you’d have to give up your crime fighting career, because I would never let you go!

In case this is helpful to you:

One year I was the “Latin Lover” …
black pants
white shirt
black jacket
thick hot pink satin sash on my hat
thick hot pink satin sash around my waste..

walked around with a tape recorder of Holio Iglasi – it was the end of his song.. To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before.. just a few moments of his song, and then I would stop the tape recorder – and get down on one knee – and tell eeryone .. NOW IS THE BEST PART…

play teh tape recorder.. it was a live presentation – the AUDIENCE STARTED CLAPPING WILDLY on the tape.

And then I would bow my head, and ANNOUNCE.. THEY LOVE ME!!!

ok – I was really the self-centered Latin Lover.

but it was not only great fun – by funny as heck!

Let me know when you have more costume pictures…be happy to see them (especially the ones with you in your bat-girl undies )



Ok first of all lol that’s not a picture of me, this post was for costume ideas. Secondly, I have no idea what your story had to do with my costume.
