X-Sanguin-III Costume Quest
I don't want to give to much of my costume away, but over time this post will have everything I need to make it.
To start with I'm looking to have a coat that looks kinda like a cross between the one in Hellraiser, and that Neo wears in the Matrix. I've found several neat links to costumes... some way to expensive. But hopefully I can find a place locally that has costumes that I can actually try on.
The Coat - DONE
This is the one I went with...
Abbyshot.com - Neo - Expensive, but checkout the movie clips. The coat really has a nice flow to it.
SubCultureArray.com - Hellraiser - Good starting point, and sleeveless
Retailslut.com - Hellraiser - Cheaper price, same thing, and a Velvet offering...
Pinhead Costumes - other people dressed up
Hellraiser Website
The Bracers / Gauntlets - DONE
Found some 4 piece leather gauntlets that lace up the arm. I forgot the store name, but its some leather store in hollywood.
Ringold Alley - 30th and Upas (8 blocks south of University)
The Crypt - Park Ave
Head Make-up
Talking with Jacob, to see if he or Lauren have something that won't end up all over my black coat.
Horns
I think I found some inexpensive 'pink' horns, that with some white paint, or body makeup I can turn into real good looking ones. Will play with them and see. And with the special glue I bought it should stick pretty well to my little noggin.
Pants - Skirt
Yes folks, maybe even a skirt. If you look at the above picture i could pull off black pants, or maybe a thin black skirt... i'm thinking something custom. Need to talk with the folks at Aphrodites Closet to see what I can get made.
When ahead and got a black pleated skirt made up, with a little pocket. Should work out perfect.
Boots
Gonna get some links from Jacob, and they have some neat ones at the Crypt. But still haven't found anything that screems out at me. Definately want something monster boot ish, that gives me a little boost in the height department, and comes up my legs a bit.
Fingernails... pointy? Black... not sure yet.
