ohaidere! yep, gender bender avengers for halloween this year. kinda excited, i won't lie :rolleyes
i figured i'd go ahead and get a progress thread going here, i will do my best to commit to this project and update at least semi-regularly. my star wars costume is on hold for a while, so i hope i can manage this. anyway, details.
i, very much a male, will be going as black widow, and 2 of my friends' girlfriends (forever alone :unsure) will be iron man and thor. as of right now, i've started on a foam iron man bucket for E, and will probably, hopefully, be doing other armor bits for her, though it will not be a full suit because she wants to use the "halloween is my excuse to be kinda slutty" card. so i'm thinkin' partial chest/back with arc, 1 or 2 gloves with repulsors, and half to 3/4 thighs. the rest she can do on her own. i don't think i'll be costuming L's thor, she'll probably buy somethin' on her own.
oh, hey side-note: for the bucket i'm using 2 ply foamie sheets. "wtf?" you say. simply put, i took two 2mm foamie sheets, bombarded each with spray adhesive, and stuck 'em together. i'm still cutting the pieces out so i haven't started gluing or anything, but so far these things are a dream to work with. yes, i realize you can probaby buy 4mm foam, but i didn't have any or any access to it, so i made do. and i'm quite pleased thus far :rolleyes. i'll post up some pics once i get some loaded on to photobucket.
now's where i ask for your opinion. first of all, how would you all do a kinda sexy iron maiden? i know Laam is doing her suit true to screen, and there's been a loooot of arbitrary discussion in her thread about sexy suits and all that. so open the flood gates; let me know what sounds cool and in turn i'll see what i think will work.
second, male black widow. form fitting like her catsuit (please God no) or a more tactical, metal gear solid type of deal? i know that if i just go the tactical route, i won't be particularly recognizable aside from a BW belt buckle, some SHIELD patches on the shoulders, and the stingers (with LEDs if i can pull it off.) thing is, i do want people to be able to associate me with the thor and IM costumes. i need a brainstorming session, and you guys and gals are the perfect panel to ask. let me know what you all think!!!
