Christine Posted July 9, 2005 Author Posted July 9, 2005 Aye, I have met her too a few times at Comic Con. A few times in costume and then a times in regular clothes. I'll have to look thru my pictures and find the one with her and I.
tishsparrow Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 wow, great costumes everybody. by the way, dread pirate gregory, would you happen to know my friend natasha? i think she belongs to that, uh, whatever you call em. for some reason 501 sounds like the one shes in. i dunno. time to stop rambling.
Cut-throat Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Christine, were ye dressed as Elvira when ye posed with her ? I envy ye havin a picture with the Mistress o the Night. When I met her, I didn't have a camera with me. * Damn forgetfulness * Had to settle for an autographed pic o her though. Can't complain.
Christine Posted July 9, 2005 Author Posted July 9, 2005 Naw, just was wearing some little halter top and pant suit outfit.
TortugaWench Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 wow, those are some good costumes/pictures. I dont have my scanner hooked up now so no pics of mine ('sides I dont think I have any pics) of the last three years I've celebrated Halloween at work, but for so long I didn't (was told I was too old, lol) But the past 2 years I went as a 'quick-thrown-together-ina-hurry-makeshift-pirate' and the year before that I went as a painter's drop-cloth. One year I'm gonna go as a white sheet that says "chicken" (or bull) across it so that I can be Chicken Sheet. Btw- Rogue Mermaid, love the costume- you remind me of Demona from the Disney cartoon Gargoyles. Two thumbs up!
Rumba Rue Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Pirate Petee, is that your wife/girlfriend in the picture with you?
tishsparrow Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 i would love to send pictures of me all dressed up (some of just clothes i wear to school, i like to theme my day) but i cant find pics or work the scanner... hmmm, maybe this button that says "scan" might do it. i am a bit technologically challenged.
Pirate Petee Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Pirate Petee, is that your wife/girlfriend in the picture with you? That be me girlfriend.

CaptainCiaran Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Rumba, ye look MAGNFICENT! What a fabulous seamstress and model ye be!

tishsparrow Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 WOW! those costumes are amazing! you are sooooo much better than i am, and i am working on going to design school! you could do that stuff for movies and things. the peacock dress is amazing.
Mad Woman Cheryl Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Here is one of me son from FarPoint in February. He was an Orc Warrior. Not the LOTR brand, but the D&D kind. We made the axe too. The outfit was all suede and fur with metal mesh on the mask. He took first place in the Young Fan Division and also got a medal for First workmanship since he helped with some of the sewing. Mad Woman Cheryl By Odin's mighty spear, I hereby snap and go berzerk!!!"
CaptainCiaran Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 OMG, Cheryl, I'd run like hell if I saw him! What a GREAT costume.

Mad Woman Cheryl Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Thanks Cairan. The axe is made from a shoulder blade and a thigh bone. Actually my son is a little charmer. Blonde hair and blue eyes, cute as the dickens. Mad Woman Cheryl By Odin's mighty spear, I hereby snap and go berzerk!!!"
Red-Handed Jill Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Rumba - those costumes are wonderful! I already thought you were a terrific costume designer but this gives me even more respect for you. These pictures don't do the fabric of the capes or the masks justice, but here are a couple of photos from a masked event Jack and I went to a couple of years ago. Jack's mask was particularly resplendent. And it's not quite clear, but mine has a bunch of soft feathers that went back over the head and three peacock feathers in the middle.
Rogue Mermaid Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Wow...wow. The pub is full of talented costumers!!!!! Rumba your work is gorgous and I love your little orc Cheryl!!!!
HarborMaster Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Rhumba your costumes are great.,but I am really impressed with your feathered mask! (I have been trying to collect from my bird a few more before I send) I am not Lost .,I am Exploring. "If you give a man a fire, he will be warm for a night, if you set a man on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life!"
Rumba Rue Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 I didn't make the mask, but it was what got me started. I purchased the mask from a gal for a major discount since I had been working her booth at Southern Faire, eons ago. She doesn't do that kind of stuff anymore. But it truly was the mask that got my mind working and what you see is the end result. The Nobility Court dress I aquired from Frieda Soto-Paris, whatever her married name is now. But she made many of the Queens outfits for years. I learned a tremendous amount from her about costuming and I'm grateful. Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. It really makes this gal's heart sing. Mad Woman Cheryl, your son is a real ham, ain't it great! He'll make a fine pirate cabin boy. Rumba **Smile and Let Your Spirit Soar**
