I'm not as familiar with the details of the school uniforms as I could be, but I was really pleased with how simple it seemed to be for the younger Harry Potter fans to put together a school uniform that looked real to my eyes. These guys have the robes, of course, but I saw many without the robes that still looked quite nice.

The picture from a few years later has been pretty popular so I dug out these earlier pics that show the different sides of this costume made out of a box. Here is the link to a later version with a bigger box www.flickr.com/photos/krossbow/63581730/

Way cute!

Via Flickr:
I made this Slinky Dog costume for the premier of Toy Story 3. I knit the hat and hand-stitched the felt facial features. I also knit the backside, and attached it using an actual slinky. I made the tail out of a spring from the inside of a clicky pen.

Tetris Halloween Costume (Couples Costume)


Tetris Halloween Costumes, originally uploaded by Glen Murphy.

Are you a gamer? Do you need a couple's costume? Is your girl/boy friend a gamer?

Here's your costume-- Tetris blocks. While kind of a pain to wear (you're a weird size) would be a good winner for a gaming convention or some other geeky event.

Via Flickr:
These took about five hours to make, and used about $57 worth of stuff from an office supply store, including the scissors. The best part was having to try on boxes in the store, to the bemusement of those around us.

They were a bit hot and bulky in use, and it was super hard to hear anyone. If it was to be done again, I'd recommend cutting ear-holes in them, or at least making the face areas more open.

We also didn't count on how much Tetris we'd have to play to get these to fit in the car.

Love this Lichtenstein Halloween Costume! (photo)


WOW!, originally uploaded by hallu_ci_genia.

If you're familiar with Roy Lichtenstein, then this costume will definitely be a hit with you.

This is definitely one of my favs!

From the West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval 2007. The poor lady and her Pikachu costumed kid were trying to get their picture taken with those two guys with wings. Then the priest comes over and the two girls cut in on the shot. This was a wild free-for-all.
