(no subject)
A few years back, Erin and I discussed being Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy for Halloween. This did not happen for whatever reason (short attention span + drinking when we talked about it, probably). But it's come up again--and this time, she's already got the Harley costume in mind and is waiting for payday to buy it.
She has also offered to help me dye my hair red, and to help collect some vines.
I've always loved red hair, and my hair takes on some strong red tints in the summer anyway. I'm a redhead in my senior portrait from high school. My mother, on the other hand, hates red hair and grimaces (good-naturedly) whenever I get excited about my highlights.
I feel like a teenager plotting to get in some spectacular trouble. :D
Sooo... I need to grow my hair out like whoa (like I can control this) and get into shape. Can't do much about the minimal boob size or my massive soccer-player legs, but I can work on the rest of it!
And pick an Ivy style. Hmmm. I grew up on B:TAS and I'd like to lean that way (she also has (at one point) normal skin, a smaller rack in the cartoon, and more realistic hair--how's that for ironic). I just like who she was in the cartoon, too. She wasn't so much of a crazy whore. Her costume could easily be a corset, gloves, boots, and some tights.
The movies just aren't happening. I don't have that many makeup/hair resources, don't want to look like that anyway, and blah, I hated her character there.
Her costume in Batman #651 isn't so bad, either.
I am admittedly just excited about dying my hair red. AND ALL THE THRIFT-STORE HUNTING. These pre-made costumes are just silly. My girl does not wear fishnets, okay. She WEARS BOOTS. (Thigh-highs, admittedly, but BOOTS, NOT HIGH HEELS.)
wheeeee
