EH MEH GHED SET YOUR DVR! And skurry pics

[stoney321]

GUYS. GUYS. Oprah is going to have the polygamist family from Sister Wives on her Thursday show. MUST SEE TV, I believe. You have been warned ahead of time to get those Tivos/DVRs set up.

Also, tabaqui mentioned that she couldn't find the pics online of what my Halloween costume will be based on, so I have thoughtfully uploaded them and put them under a cut. WARNING: they have some big creep factor, but only one is what could truly be called "grody." <-- scientific terminology, only can be used by Scientists. Or Scienceticians, of which I am one.

If you google "Masters of Horror: Imrpint" [for it was a Showtime TV series] you will get torture pics, not my costume-inspiration. So there's your warning there, too. This particular episode was banned in the US because it's just. that. skeevy. It's mostly the torture scene and all of the other scenes, too. Just those reasons. Lol.



GUYS.


HERE SHE IS IN ALL HER CREEPY GLORY.



OMG the Woman is plotting. Most likely NOT how to have a surprise tea party.




TEE HEE, WHAT DO YOU SAY, KANJU-SAN? I am sweet delicate flower, no? [NO. You are not.] And check out the awesome head piece. I need to find a good quality Geisha wig, too.




Some full shots of the kimono - I am going to have a hell of a time reproducing that fabric I think. I'll try to get as close as possible.




One more...




No, I need to see the back, too:





I. DON'T. LIKE. YOU. You're about to meet "Little Sister," bub.




LOL. Meet Little Sister. OH HEY THIS IS UNDER HER HAIR GROWING OUT OF HER HEAD. <-- totally awesome.




SEE?! It's kinda hilarious and kinda creepy as hell. My favorite combination.




Michaels and Joanns today, hopefully I can find all of the things I'll need for the costume. Kimonos are pretty straight-forward by design, so it's just a matter of finding good fabric. I LOVE HALLOWEEN!

[ETA} She found the vid of the whole movie if you want to watch!

You're right, I should put off doing the hem until later. Thanks!

The Oreo is turning out rather fun. We found some black-colored cardboard at Michaels (it's actually two tri-fold presentation boards -- they come in all sorts of colors). So we cut these into 2 circles.

The intricate design on the cookie we're doing with black foam cut-outs which took some work but it looks really great.

So yes, he'll wear this as a sandwich sign board. The plan is for him to wear white as the "white stuff" but I may also use some quilt batting to make it look stuffed with yummy goodness.

Very neat that you found something black already! (If not, I was going to suggest the foam board I used for my angel wings)

Ooooh, I can't wait to see how you've done it, it sounds outstanding. You really make some great kids costumes Anne, you really do.

Fluff! What about some white felt glued in between the pieces? The super stiff stuff so you only need to glue the one side (so he can open the two cookies and slip in?) WHAT A COOL COSTUME!!

HI again! Yes, the plan is to glue some white stuff just like that. I will keep an eye out for the kind of felt you're talking about!

Joann's and Michaels both sell it - stiff felt. It's practically cardboard. I used it to make my bird advent calendar last year. :) )
