Hey all,
This may not be considered a costume by any stretch of the imagination, but ever since Christmas when I got these Iron-On transfer papers for the printer and MGI Photosuite for christmas I have been going nuts. (The dismal failure of the Seatrroper project
probably had something to do with this need to geek.)
So I was at Hooters with mi compadre Jay recovering from to much family time (kidding Spectress...) and an idea from a while ago
resurected in my head.
So I spent a day with a scanner, lap top, and printer and wah-la... I have created the "Unofficial, Unauthorized, yet ncredibly wacky Death Star Hooters girl tank top".
Not to stop there but also one for Hooters Naboo, Hooters Mon Calamari, Hooters Tattooine-Mos Eisly.....
I am so proud of these things for some unknown reason. Now the likely hood of finding someone to a) Model them, and b) let me take pics is a different story. I'll Have to post photos of it sitting on my work
bench.
Thanks for your tolerance.

Reminds me of when I created a Hard Rock Cafe Coruscant logo.

My husband suggested that when people asked me "where is Coruscant", I reply, "in the Caribbean". So I did. And they said, "oh".
Sigh.

Hmm, I imagine if you looked around a little you should be able to find them at good price some where. I haven't looked lately, but in the spring I found some good ones at Old Navy, but I suspect that most department stores, even if just Walmart or Kmart would be able to supply you. happy If they aren't available now, they will be soon as the stores bring out, insanely early as usual, their summer supplies.

Thanks for the hint. In Florida the summer lines are hitting the shelves. It's a long weekend and I will be prowling stores.
Thanks for the continued interest! It motivates me!

I'm still interested too. happy Another thing you might want to check are online dealers. I know there are places where you can order something like 10 - not a lot, not too little (just in case). wink I don't remember names right off the top of my head, but I'm sure a quick search would do it.
