Myself and FC were discussing costumes last night, and i came to the conclusion something monster hunter related would do me...
Now my full wyvern hunting armor would be a bit of a pain to drag with me.

so i was thinking light stuff, more like :



or some of the stuff here

Handsome Bob

Hmmmmmmmm.......you know..........I think if I wear all black, paint a red symbol on the chest, a red symbol on the forehead, and wear make up with black eyes and mouth, I could make a passable.........



Now that's if I put in the effort, right now I'm trying to find something that will take minimum effort.

kharn is his personal account, just to clear that up (joking aside ) his official account is Dav and in no way represents his personal life,opinons or hobbies (such as the Noc forum).

i actually was thinking of dressing up as Nocs, but i decided armor was more tempting

That basement can have awesome stuff in it,also,tk max in stephens green,some good finds there.

Linky Rhyme?
Or are ya embarrassed at being a tArtlet?

+1'ing TKMaxx, you can find some really weird and unusual stuff there if you dig deep enough. Checking the racks in the three big outlets (Stephens Green, Swords and Drogheda) can net you just about anything if you're lucky. They sold sword-canes once :eek:

thought this might help. its the same shape as the beak you drew. just print it out so that the long rectangle on the second one is the hight you want the beak to be when it reaches your face (as in, measure from the bottom of your chin to the midpoint of your nose). just thought it might make it easier to do when you have a basic shape

Thanks, those should help a lot.

I've got my hands on one of those small plastic cones you see being used for childrens soccer matches. I'll be carving, melting and painting it into shape next chance I get. Those drawings will be great for scaling the top and edges without getting melted plastic on my face

Aisling(",)

I want to be smurfette

blue tights,a long sleeve blue top,a white dress,shoes and a a hat the blue face paint.

Last year I made my own costume and it took a lot of time and effort. I couldn't do it again. this year I just have to revamp some booties but that should be ok

I think its more fun to build your own. Remember that party we went to with the guy who made a costume of the milk carton from that Blur video? Pure genius!

Shiminay

Last year's beers saw 3 jebus' (the UnHoly Trinity as I called it). I was optimus Prime the year before.

Not sure what I'll go as this year...

star-pants

Hmm I'm debating Batgirl or random other costume (given that I've never actually *gone* as batgirl)

Also Trow -- I love that costume, I'd thought about it but you'll look so much better, I'm excited to see it
oh and Shelly - if anyone else wears the same as you - they won't look half as fab

Aww thanks. You'd look fab as her too. I'm excited about making the boots as I do like to make things. I just couldn't do a whole oufit again like last year. That head dress nearly killed me

All those years of watching Blue Peter paid off. It's amazing what you can do with pipe cleaners and crepe paper
