batskeetsI think I've just 90% decided on what I want to do for my Halloween costume. I hesitate by that last 10% because of two things, though:
1) I will need to be in really-freakin'-bananas-amazing shape for this one, because it involves a lot of form-fittingness. I've contemplated doing this costume before, but decided against it, because I was refusing--and still continue to refuse--to be that typical Fat Cosplayer Wearing Costume That's Completely Wrong For Her Body. I think I could pull it off now, but I'll have to work my butt off for the next few weeks to do it.
2) I've seen other people do this costume before, and it looked, well, pretty ghetto and cheaply-made. I need to figure out how if I can do it in a way that *doesn't* look ghetto. I think if I pick the right materials, it'll look good, but I'm not a master seamstress, so that remains to be seen.
Well, I have a month and a half to decide and to pull this together, and could possibly recruit help from clothing designer friends, so we'll see.

Oh wait! I actually have useful information - for wigs and such for all of my halloween costumes I've used Amphigory.com - she's super fast, and the skintop wigs are really nice looking and wear well. :D
