Costume Thoughts
Sep. 13th, 2009 07:19 pmPosting this as a combination note-to-self and this-is-interesting-maybe-someone's-done-something-similar-if-ever-they-drop-by.
Basically, last night while I was trying to get to sleep in order to make my before-noon start-of-shift, I of course had the biggest flash of detailed inspiration about this costume I've wanted to do forever that had to get written down right now and I tried to get back to sleep and sure I'd remember it in the morning and I got up and turned on the computer and filled a word-document anyway. At 3 AM. I'm not a vampire- I just shun the evil daystar and am most active at night. Maybe I'm a bat...
Anyway. I've wanted to do an orc-girl costume forever, I love costuming in general even if I've only completed one or two (I have this- unholy Thing for well-constructed garments) and I love dreaming of elaborate, utterly-transformative things that still make use of/let the original person wearing them shine through. And it suddenly came to me, how to get some of the effects I wanted, starting with the head and just moving down. I'll post the list I wrote last night and let it speak for itself.

The neat thing is that Ebay has a lot of the more vital bits that'll make this up, and for not-to-be-sneezed-at deals. And as I have a job now, insubstantial as newbie-hours are, I can- bit by tiny bit- get my pieces together.
