GAH GETTING SO EXCITED FOR DRAGON*CON!!!!!!!!!!

Trying to get some costume ideas together. Right now, I'm trying to decide if I can pull off a Buffy outfit. Mostly it would be wears jeans, a nice top, and then putting on my cross necklace, claddaugh ring, and carrying a stake.

If I get REALLY motivated, I'm going to try to make a slayer scythe. Nothing screen worthy, but at least something I could carry around to ID me as Buffy.

Of course, if I can pull that off, I might try the next step and get a Fray costume together. She would require a teensy bit more, depending on which outfit I go with. (faeriesfolly, I would need you to do the lip scar for me) I always wanted to do the orange cargo pants outfit but damned if those are not hard to find on the cheap! Might just use the same pants I plan to use for me...

Starbuck costume. Have not actually added much to this since last July, but I was thinking of getting a cigar to chomp on since that's pretty trademark.

I've also got this idea to make some t-shirts. You know how Captain Hammer and Doctor Horrilbe have their little fan groups in the show? Well, who got left out of that fun and who will be at Dragon*Con? EXACTLY - Felicia Day! So, I was thinking of making t-shirts (or at least the iron on image) and having myself, faeriesfolly and maybedeadcat all wear them on the same day and go get a photo with Felicia that day. Because Penny needs love too!

jellibean also had the brilliant suggestion of Arthur Dent which I really want to do because HHGTTG is my favorite book of all time. maybedeadcat said I can borrow his bathrobe, then I just need a towel. And maybe an empty tea cup. And I'd probably decorate my iPhone to look like the guide. My mom suggested getting some sort of bluetooth device and making it look like a babel fish in my ear. I love my mom.

Mom also suggested dressing up like the Mom in "A Christmas Story" and carrying a bar of Life Boy soap and a pot roast LOL!

So, yeah, some time this week/month I need to go to Michaels and see if I can find some craft supplies to help me at least make a prop stake :)

If you have some light-khaki cargo pants, you could probably dye them orange as long as they were mostly cotton. :) (Hell even if they were a blend, it might work.)

Hm...I like this idea...if I can figure out how to dye stuff...I've got $20 in Kohls cash I need to spend so I could probably get some pretty cheap pants and try that :)

You can dye stuff in your washing machine. (The boxes usually have instructions, but you can google and probably read all about it on cosplay.com) Just be sure to run your machine and wash it before you do clothes, or else everything will be orange :)

and that would be taking the whole "orangerful" thing a bit too far! :)

Well we were looking at girl!Arthur for our first year! haha. It would be an easy one.

HUNGER GAMMMMMMES. It would basically be your Starbuck pants and a tank or whatever. *nudge nudge* haha.

We could prolly get Felicia to take a picture with us in the autograph line even.

I'm all over that lip scar. haha. I'll use my one Fray icon for you.
