Apemania's Kid-sized gorilla appliance

[Jessica]

This kid-sized gorilla appliance fits my 11 year old. I'm really happy with the way the hairing up of the pullover spandex hood came out. It used up about three packages of fake hair. I wish I had used 2B for the color, but I used 1B. It's good enough.

I am currently waiting for the liquid latex to dry up so I can add some more to help hide the sewn parts of the wefts that I used for the hairline. Also...I still need to add more makeup to the skin to make it more lifelike.

Are we going to see some apes at Wondercon?

That's looking really cool. Can't wait for further progress. If this turns out anything like your Dr. Zira, then it's going to be awesome.

Yes, I will be flanked by my two gorillas at Wondercon! YAY!!! My boys (Dylan is 11 and Ashton is 5) are not hard core fans though, so they won't let me grease up their eyes or their hands. Oh well...more rubber grease paint for me. At least they are going to be there in ape costumes.

Look forward to seeing you there too. Just looking at my photos from 2009 Wondercon and your costume was the standout. This year, I'll take more photos if we cross paths.

Very nice, I'll be up at Wondercon this weekend my wife and son, I hope to see you guys up there. This will be my sons first con ever and I can't wait to see what his reaction will be if he sees you guys.
