So a few weeks ago, I saw Repo! The Genetic Opera, and was inspired to costume.
Quote: I wonder if I can whip up a Blind Mag at Opera outfit by Arisia. Sample screenshot. Ooh, and cast photo. So yeah. Feathers, corset, fishnets, boots, mesh cape, teased hair, studded leather collar and cuffs, eye makeup, fake eyelashes, and maybe even costume contacts? Oh yeah.
And earlier this week, I posted that Repo is playing nearby again on Jan 15. The day before Arisia starts.
So. I've ordered my feathers. If I don't go exact-replica, I can use my existing black velvet corset for the top, meaning all I need to acquire are the boots (the hard part), black mesh fabric for the cape (easy! Sewfisticated should be able to help me there), collar/cuffs (
laura47, may I borrow?), fake eyelashes (easy, Boston Costume), and maybe the contacts (have a place downtown I can look at later today). YayI'mgonnadothis.
If you have black fetishy-looking boots in size 7.5-8 that you're willing to lend me, I am very very interested! I would prefer to borrow rather than buy, since I generally wear, you know, SENSIBLE shoes. ;)
