tripperfunsterOne 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)

I love your boys' hair! And he seems to have gone through a growth spurt from the last pics I seen of him.

I totally take ownership of my own feelings of inadequacy.

I'm gonna be:
And the hub:
If I can figure out how to make that $%**($#) head. *eyes the clock warily*
When does Mandy get back? What's VK gonna be?

My other son is going to wear the SAME GHOST COSTUME that he's worn for the past ... 3 years. No joke. He has NO INTEREST whatesoever in dressing up.

Date: 2009-10-28 04:38 am (UTC)Not to mention, Gene Simmons is a concrete thing. A pile of leaves is kind of ... more free form.
If it were me, I'd find some leave patterns on the web, cut out a bunch of leaves and sew the (hanging loosely) on a brown old shirt. Then maybe a headband with leaves too?
*big hugs*

Date: 2009-10-28 05:20 am (UTC)Sooo cute! Man, I wish I'd had a girl! I"ll have to wait for Grandkids, I guess.
L. DOES NOT WANT any sort of roleplay hanky panky type stuff. :( I tried to entice him last year with the whole Jimmy/Chazz thing. Oh man, he really missed out on what could have been FUUUUUNNNN sexytiems! *g*
At least I'll be dressed as a girl this year. That almost never happens! ;p
