Halloween will be coming around the bend for us here in the fanaticus household soon and I thought I would show you folks some of the geek..that I am.
Anywhooooooooo, My daughter chose to be Lagoona Blue from Monster high: shocker right? ;P
We bought this complete costume already and I will be making a necklace and a few accessories that did not come with the kit:
My husband and I are also going to dress up this year...OMG!
So we decided to fly our geek flags high and buy costumes from "Man of Steel" The new superman movie. My hubby will be Superman: The good guy
I will be Faora-Ul: The bad gal...Ohhhh geesh....
The suit came pretty basic, what you see and what you get are not exactly accurate, the suit appears to have armor..but not really.. its printed to the SPANDEX FRIGGEN SUIT!!!.. yeah..spandex.
So in order to use my crafting skills and keep being a nerd.. I started to create armor like they do at Comicon. EVA foam..aka Craftfoam.
I just marked up some paper patterns, cut out foam layered and dented...and dappled them in steel paint and hot glued them to corresponding panels on the suit.
It turned out pretty badass< that right I said it!

I am going to wear it for three days/ events and parties, if my resolve holds..and I guess if the ass of the suit holds as well;P
Shall I post a picture of myself in the suit..to be immortalized in embarrassment for eternity?? Let see how much wine it takes to squeeze me into it:P
Ohh hoho miss jane yes you must post a pic and then I shall print it and keep it as a fond memory for when we are old/grey haired and senile!!! It looks like you all are gonna have a great time.
ReplyDeletewe can reminisce about when our butts did not flap in the wind ;P Lollzzz
DeleteI like your costumes. Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Faby
Hi Jane, I am in a similar situation as you. :-) For the first time in years, I'll be really dressing up, and the outfit is a bit skimpy. I say, have some fun! Can't wait to see the photo(s)! xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteohhhh we will have to see that one ;P
DeleteThat sounds like good Halloween fun! Please post pics of you guys defending..eh...destroying the universe. ;-) Does General Zod know you are taking Superman to these shin digs? :O
ReplyDeleteHave fun, lady!
Lisa
Funny enough hubby was going to be Zod, but he though we should yin/yang it ;P
DeleteWow, This is going to be fantastic :D I wish Halloween would be more widespread here so I could dress up too :D
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll look great in that costume - just remember to eat something as good thoughts won't keep you from fainting :P
Your costumes would be amazing! hugs!
DeletePlease post pictures. We don't have Halloween here but we have Purim and costume parties and lots of fun. Enjoy and have a great time!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Drora
That sounds like a LOT of fun. Please yes yes post pictures I wanna see : D ( me is a bit past it lol )

Divertente! Sono sicura che starete tutti benissimo! E a grande richiesta ( mi sembra...) attendiamo le foto!
ReplyDeleteUn abbraccio, Manu
Grazie Manu, invierò una foto e cercare di non pentirsene; P
DeleteOh yes ~ post it !
ReplyDeleteFab costumes. Good on you. Definitely want to see a pic.
ReplyDeleteHI Jane! You go Girl!!! I love what you have done with your armor. What a fun thing to do, for you and your hubby! You are good at sewing costumes.I saw you prancing about this past summer as a fairy and the costumes of both you and your daughter and what you wore was in keeping of the Fair. I love it! Is your hair still cropped short Jane?
ReplyDeleteelizabeth
Yes! My hair is short and black ;P I let it grow out a little, as to have a wisp in the front like the inspiration character. Yes..that is how far I will go to geek out ;P
DeleteIt sounds like quite a party, and it lasted for 3 days ... We'll see you in the suit. Please. I wish you a really nice party, I would love to attend. I love parties and I am definitely a party girl ... I can dance all night.
ReplyDeletehugs
Wyrna
Awesome! Then you shall get the invitation to party next year my friend!
DeleteGood work on the costume! The costumes I buy for my son always turn out quite disappointing and it takes some skills to up them a bit! Have fun partying :D
ReplyDeleteI do not know what is more praiseworthy your costume upgrade or your bravery. Sounds like your in for a grand time.
ReplyDeleteThanks hon, bravery!...or the acting brave ..at least ;P I wonder how will the suit wick sweat?
DeleteHave a happy and spooky Halloween =) Your dress looks great! I guess it takes lots of courage wearing that slim thing ;) Hannah
