You know that my husband has mad costume creation skills when last year's costumes are featured on Boing Boing! It's so hard to decide which I love the most... this year's port-a-potty is hilarious, the ewoks and AT-ST last year were sheer marvels, 2008's Transformers we awfully cool... but I still have a warm spot in my heart for my little jawa and Herbie and his infant brother mechanic.My husband, the kid costume visionary.
So glad you've gotten recognition...because I can't imagine ANYONE who has made more fantastic costumes than you, Steve! You are the gold standard by which all other costume creators are measured.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to say about the port-a-potty costume. It is ingenious and awesome but also rather frightening. I think I prefer Herbie! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw an awesome one this year -- a fellow in my neighborhood came as the boy scout from the movie UP. He had a full boy scout uniform on, a pack loaded with all kinds of helpful stuff, and he had a rope tied around his waist that connected him to an AV cart. On the top shelf of the cart was a lovely doll house that served as the anchor for a large bouquet of helium balloons. (this was for an indoor party -- he didn't wander the neighborhood like that). It was a wonderful sight to behold!
