Kouryou-chan's costume

[elfs]

Fairy Princess!

Omaha must have spent fifteen hours putting together this costume, doing the wings, putting in the fleece lining because Kouryou-chan was always cold in previous years. Originally, she wanted to be a Fairy Princess Pegasus Unicorn Mermaid, but Omaha convinced her to cut it down to just two.

We had a blast. We walked around the neighborhood and Kouryou-chan got great candy from all the houses we passed that had lights and inviting decorations. We passed many of the neighboring kids and made small-talk. It was really nice. Kouryou-chan was completely freaked out when, while at someone's house, what she thought was just a decorative stuffed dummy by the door reached out and grabbed her ankle.

Anyway, Omaha wanted to make sure I got a picture of the costume for posterity. I should have taken a picture of her, too; while working on the wings she got glitter all over her face.

One Halloween I was the "decorative stuffed dummy". I freaked a lot of kids out, that was fun.

Yeah, that is fun. I did it with a djellaba with the hood hanging *way* down. I could just see when the kid's feet touched the porch. At which point I'd use my deepest, darkest voice to to intone "Who approaches?"

At which point the kids would teleport back to the sidewalk in terror. :-)

Jai wants to do a elf jedi pirate catboy costume for me. I've been thinking about what exact design elements make that happen.
