Yesterday shopping went well –
Found two pairs of boots that I could possibly use for the costume – I bought them both, as they were only $6 a piece! The others can always be used somewhere else, LOL.
I got a pair of shorts/briefs for Poison Ivy at target – got them covered in leaves last night, but I’m going to have to put them on and let Chase fill in the gaps, as silly as that sounds!
Tonight after work I’ve got to run home and dig out my Marion Ravenwood stuff. Haven’t seen it since Dragoncon, but we’re going to the midnight show tonight so I want to at least get it out. I haven’t decided if I’m going to wear the whole thing, or just the shirt/waistband/shoes with jeans.
that is a whole lot of Leia…..
I’d been wondering which costume you were going to choose. I didn’t vote for it, but since I’m doing the Endor gear Luke for my card, if you did the Endor gear Leia for your card, that could allow for a few things. 1) They have generally grouped the cards in the set by base, so we’d have the Endor Luke and Leia as consecutive cards which would look cool in the plastic pages. 2) We could also do a big trade with each other so each of us could pass out both Endor cards at events when we aren’t both attending.
As for some of the other options.
* Padme Lake dress is a great costume, but I don’t think it will translate well to a card. Most of the detail is at the bottom and all the previous cards have tightly cropped pictures. You could do it, but you’d be much smaller than everybody else.
* Slave Leia – Obvious reasons for it, but would you really want that out there? There are a lot of events where it’s not an appropriate costume to wear, so it probably wouldn’t be appropriate to give it out on a card either.
* Padme funeral – possibly the best costume of your choices, but not very recognizable as being Padme or even from Star Wars. I also wouldn’t expect you to wear that costume often.
* Hoth Leia – A good option, but cropping might cut out the boots. Questionable as to how well the detail will translate to a card.
* ANH and Ceremonial Leia – Both are very recognizable, but also very simple in appearance. You should pick something that exemplifies your talent better.
* Gentle Giant Leia – A great idea for a costume, but it won’t translate well into a card. People will think it’s a oddly done cross-up of the actual ANH costumes. I wouldn’t even put it on the BACK of the card.
* Parade Padme – Excellent costume, one of most recognizable and ornate costumes on the list. Shows off your talent.
* Boushh – You excluded this because you didn’t want to wear the helmet, but I don’t think you’d have to for the RL set. Of course, might be better saved for a 501st Legion card.
Oh, and I haven’t sent in my pictures yet either. I don’t know that I have one I really like that much yet.
ooo! will you be wearing Marion to Dcon this year?! I’m almost done with my Agent Spalko costume, we should totally get some photos together!
I was planning on it, that would be awesome!!
