batskeetsA grad from Art Institute that Alyson kind of knows contacted me about doing a shoot and asked about trade, so I think I'm going to do part-cash and have her help me with my party costume. :D Plus, it'll be a fun shoot! Win/win!
My first thought was that it'd be nice to do a 1920s/30s kind of thing, but I was hoping to come up with a specific individual to represent in that time period. Here's where my lack of knowledge about the era starts to bite me in the ass. :p
My other prevailing thought was something to represent the Future. After rolling that around a lot, I started looking at Blade Runner for the future-inspired stuff, and thought that Rachel might be cool to do, because she has sort of a period style to her.
And then, I also considered Pris, largely because the mask-like makeup she has towards the end of the movie would be fun. However, I do not have Daryl Hannah's legs, so that's a bit intimidating. (yes, I am still feeling pudgy at the moment. Yes, I know that is also ridiculous.)
I'm still rolling it around, and am certainly open to thoughts, but I should probably decide something soon, so the girl helping me doesn't have to bust it out Project-Runway-style in 24 hours. ;p
In other news, work is really, really boring today. But I did my first bike commute of the Spring this morning, and I kicked its butt! W00t.

Even if you don't read the book the reviews have some people you could google.

or one of the many lovely ladies from Farscape. There are certainly good costumes there.
