COSTUME PLANNING

 A faerie friend has inherited (via our Faerie-Auction) at the Berlin-Wannsee Summer gathering my Jacko-widow costume on the occasion of MJ's passing and Berlins CSD2010. I am so happy it has gone into caring hands. I imagine it will continue onwards as well (including the Michael Jackson Funeral ticket).
Timberbell will be modifying it for a London Halloween party (or parties?) on October 31.
"Planning" a costume is much more work  than many people realize and it's much fun if you are wanting to make it sexy or exhibitionistically on the edge!
One SF guy (see fotos)whose work i find interesting- He takes self-pics as he develops his costume bit by bit <look here> and <here too>- mulling over small aesthetic options. As I have (less methodically for this year's Berliner-bear costume for Berlin's CSD GayPride2010)
Here is Timkerbell's recent costume planning email to me:

"C-C P
Went out today and got a witches hat and more black lace material,some lacy long gloves and a dinky little witches broom. I think I know how it's going to be. Starting from the feet: Black builder's boots, Black stockings. Your long swathe of black lacy material wrapped around my naked body sari style. Lacy gloves, Imitation tattoos :-). I've sown your head-dress to the inside of the witches hat and draped and sown yet another veil of black lace over the witches hat. I'll be wearing rubber vulcan style pointy ear extensions which will be glimpsable through the veils and I've got some vampire fangs to fix to my teeth. I'll be wearing false eye lashes and white.green face-paint. I should have taken photos as I put it together tonight- deffo next time :-)"

I have a personal preference for minimalist costumes (which is not always appropriate depending on the context) like the following concept group-costume (Burning man via the above felixdeon blog):                 

Two more pages worth looking at (for fun and nothing to do with costumes) from Felix and marcel are:
