Costume opinions needed

[craftygeekette]

I would really like to make the Joker Costume for the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight for nick this year. I think he would look great in it.

My question.  Too soon or weird because Heath Ledger died?

It's weird only if you include a bunch of pills with the costume and go as a zombie Heath Ledger/Joker.

LMAO - now that's just hillarious. The problem is he already kinda looks like a zombie with the joker makeup so it would be hard to tell the difference.

Yeah, definitely do it.

If you need help recreating the makeup, especially the scarring/smile, let me know.

I probably will! I have no idea...
But now I have to get my fat, pregnant butt motivated to make the costume. That's going to take a lot. I'm way more interested in making costumes for juniorkins.

Do you have an infant sized pea in the pod costume by any chance? If you do, could I maybe borrow it for con or halloween next year? My other thought was to do a "green giant" costume for nick with a baby pea in the pod. I think that would be easier because I could just basically do a green toga with leaves and tights and green body makeup.

What do you think?
