So it's coming up on fall soon and for me that means I should start thinking about Halloween costumes. A friend holds a Halloween party every year so I always have to come up with something. I suppose I could skip the party and not come up with a costume, but that's not as fun ( Read more... )

I didn't have much time to make a Halloween costume this year, due to the fact that I was out of town for two weeks, so I went with something quick and simple:

The last time I tried to sew anything was back in junior high for my home economics class and I can tell you I wasn't very good. So when it came time to make a fez for my Halloween costume, I knew there was only one person to turn to for help. Moms are the best. :-)

I will fully admit that she did the majority of the work. I just found the pattern ( Read more... )

After dressing up as Amy for Halloween, I've come to two conclusions: 1) I look ridiculous in a ginger wig and 2) the Doctor needs an Asian Companion.

Still, I think my Amy costume turned out rather well.

I've decided to go as Amy from "The Pandorica Opens"/"The Big Bang" for Halloween, mostly because I didn't have the time to make up Amy's armour from "The Girl Who Waited" (I'll be saving that for the local comic book expo in April if I can manage it). I thought the costume itself was boring on its own, and thus, I made a mini-Pandorica.

Well, I just bought a cheap plastic samurai sword for Halloween.

My sort of plan was to dress up like old!Amy from "The Girl Who Waited". She has the mask, so that would cover my face and the fact that I'm a Chinese girl trying to cosplay as a girl with ginger hair and pale skin. ;-) I also wear black glasses, so even if I don't make the mask, it ( Read more... )

A friend's having her annual Halloween party and, of course, costumes are mandatory. I really hate buying a cheap costume and only using it once, so I was inspired to go as Zoey from Left 4 Dead, the awesome zombie apocalypse video game.

My friends and I started talking about Halloween costumes last night, what we were going to wear to a friend's annual party and whatnot, and I was totally stuck on who/what to go as. Nothing can beat my Captain Hammer getup from last year as far as I'm concerned. :-) But costumes are kind of a given if you're going to a Halloween party, so I need ( Read more... )

The quest for Dr. Horrible costume components continues, but my friend has turned out to be a cosplayer penny saver. She found some white dish gloves for $5. Cheap, somewhat close, and usable after Halloween is done. Dr. Horrible, low rent style!

But no Dr. Horrible would be complete without some wonderflonium stolen from a cunning daylight heist.

Is cosplay the right word to use when people dress up like their favourite fandom characters? All the on-line stuff suggests "cosplay" applies more to Japanese anime and the detail those fans go to to create their costume. Well, whatever the term, I never realized how expensive it is. A friend of mine and I want to go as Doctor Horrible and Captain ( Read more... )
