Already thinking Halloween Costumes

It’s only October 2nd and I’m already thinking about my Halloween costume. I don’t even know what I would wear it to…but I know what I’ll be wearing.  But I’m not quite ready to reveal it to the world yet, but don’t worry it will be awesome.

I have gotten a rep as someone who does great costumes. I guess doing costume design in college will do that to you. So every year I feel like I have to do something great or people will be disappointed. It’s can be a burden when all you want to do is wear and orange sweatshirt and be a pumpkin.

My most crazy costume was a re-creation of Nini’s dress in Moulin Rouge. I hand painted the windmills on it and sewed dozens of rows of lace inside the skirt.

Anyway I think the best costumes are those that are relevant to current pop culture. My  one for 2009 definitely is. Although I do have to say that it is my dream to have a full Jem & the Holograms + the Misfits group together.  Me and 2 friends dressed up as the misfits for an 80’s costume but only our Stormer was any good. I buy “Jem” fabric whenever I come across it in store for that magnificent day. So far I’ve found the perfect fabric to make Roxy’s pants. Some day…
