COSTUME!!

[tripperfunster]

One down and two to go.

We didn't do the make up, but I needed a final try on before doing the last of the sewing. I notice that the wings are pulling up on his codpiece *snicker* It looks more like a belt than a crotch thing. :D




The material is stretchy 'pleather' stuff (really nice stuff, because it doesn't fray). I'm not a sewer, but other than the boots, this is all from scratch, no patterns. (like, there's a Gene Simmons 6yo pattern out there...)

The boots are from Value Village, with embellishments.

The studs are actually silver pony beads (like, Bo Derek hair beads), glued on with silver glitter glue.

ROCK ON BABY!
And dude? We totally have tickets to go see KISS on Nov 9th. I'm not a member of the "KISS army" *snicker*, but Quincey is really looking forward to his first real concert. WITH EXPLOSIONS AND FIRE AND STUFF!

Now I just have to make mine and hubby's costumes. (no, not KISS)

That rocks so hard I can barely stand it! As a wife of a diehard member of the KISS Army (srsly--his last license plate was KISSRMY before he got a new car and changed it to RLYEH), I can totally appreciate what you've done to make your son so happy. You are awesomesauce with a side of fries for dippin, darlin! :D

KISSRMY ahahahaha! So funny!

What is RLYEH? Really, eh?

I can take or leave them, myself, but I'm pretty happy that they don't swear or do other rude stuff on stage. I don't PERSONALLY have a problem with that stuff, but um ... yeah, I do when my six year old will be there.

R'lyeh is where sleeping Cthulhu dwells. *blink blink* It's an H. P. Lovecraft thing. He was gonna get CTHULHU but it was already taken in Nevada. *shrug* So, yeah, he went from Kabuki make-up rock and rollers to a winged, tentacled, sleeping Elder God. *shifty eyes* Makes sense to me! ;P
