Barbarella Costume
Dearest valued costume fans, I’m SOOOO SORRY that’s it’s been so long since my last post, but suffice to say that things have been rather crazy in Maryland (also a chocolate chip cookie brand in the UK) so I will make it up to you with not one, but TWO costume posts this week! First…
Manga School Girl Costume
Last week was my new works’ Christmas party. It was loosely themed Japanese – which means that dressing up in costume was optional. Optional costume is not in my vocabulary….unless it comes after ‘Live your life in’. So I dressed up as a manga school girl, the whole costume held together with the creepy eyelid…
Carrie Covered in Blood Costume
A couple of weeks ago for Halloween I created a Carrie mid-pigs-blood-bucket-pour costume. The mid-pour was created by having a metal wire fitted to the tiara and then fitted into the bucket.While it was quite the balancing act to wear it, it was also quite dramatic…too bad not too many people knew of the 70’s…

Huntsman Costume

Charlie Brown Costume
Today I have taken on a Charlie Brown costume, which is pretty simple to put together. The whole hair/head situation is a bit awkward, but I think it KINDA works. If you’re bald, this costume’s sure to be a winner… Photo credit: Billy Rubin Yellow Polo Shirt: Jay Jays (with Black Electrical Tape Zig-Zag Line)…
