I.E., CA Costumes - Star Wars and Non-Star Wars

So Sonya's post got me thinking of costumes and there are a million I want to do. And I think we had some kind of costuming thread at one point...I couldn't find it though.

But I was thinking that our group is slowly turning into a Fan Force with costumes, which is pretty kool.

So I was thinking...would anyone be interested in doing a group costume for Comic-Con 2009?
I don't mean all of us being jedi or pilots, but rather getting as many of us in some kind of Star Wars costume as possible. Would that be possible? Fun? Stupid? [Boo! Bad idea!!]

Just an idea, holla at your boy/girl. [That's from Project Runway, FYI.]

Thanks.
Nik/JO/Woman with crazy ideas

 

BRILLIANT!

But who will I be?

 

That's a great idea!

 

Steam Punk!

LOL Kool.

Kari is still obsessed with Steam Punk I see. I saw those guys online. They were interviewed by MSN. Pretty kool costumes.

I wonder who Mike would want to be...hmmm...Bib Fortuna?? lol

So any suggestions for costumes besides Steam Punk???

 

Steam punk Star wars?? LOL

Are we talking about doing SW costume together, or something else?

 

SMURFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or in light of the movie there are plenty of female as well as male costumes for Watchmen
"Jumps up and down waving hand in the air" I CLAIM RORSHACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm not apposed to doing something SW, but going totally away from that would be fun! The game idea is great. Candyland or Clue so far. We really need to brainstorm!

.... although, Steam Punk Star Wars would be pretty amazing!!!

 

Here are some pictures of Strawberry Shortcake.

Yes, I am perpetuating sterotypes. MWAHAHA!

Everyone else can duke it out for the other dolls.

How about Rainbow Brite??

Oh, nos! Attack of the Retro Cartoons, LOL!

If we're going in that direction, I'd personally love to do one of those funky costumes from Back to the Future 2.

 

That would be soooo awesome! I'd love to do either.

 

I'm sure I'm missing something, but why Lemon Meringue for me?? Fluffy and tart?????

 

Yes. That is it exactly.

 

I AM PEEING MY PANTS OVER THAT!!!!! I need some Depends!!!! lol!!!


(okay, nothing to do with this quote, but Briar just saw the pictures of you in your pilots costume and was really excited and said it was really cool!)

 

LOL!!

 

Although I think it would be fun to be stereotypical and cast me and Nikol as the "International Friends", we should (if we decide to do this) pick the main characters to dress up as. Here's a link with the original characters. I think if we go this route the three of us are likely to be the only ones dressing up. What do you think?

 

sounds fun. I've never been much of a costume guy though... (don't have the money, or know-how to make even a horrid costume)

If you want Star Wars, you could do a Skywalker Family thing.
ie. Anakin (pre-Vader), Padme, Luke, Mara, Ben, Leia, Han, etc.

 

I'm Mara!!!!!!

 

LOL
Well, I have Pregger Padme. I'll be the mom. lol

 

Is Lime Chiffon close enough to original?? lol I like her dress.

 

I'm not saying you CAN'T be Almond Tea if ya want, I just think someone ought to be Strawberry, at least. I elect Minda. Tee hee! I'm kind of partial to Blueberry Muffin.

We really need someone secure enough in their masculinity to be Huckleberry Pie. (Looking hard at Ronnie)


*whispers* Ronnie, your line is, "I'm your Huckleberry..."

 

LMBO!!
True. We do need a Strawberry. I think Minda would make a very cute Strawberry. If we could rope the girls into they could be Cherry Cuddler, Apple Dumplin and Apricot.

Hmm...can I bribe Ronnie to be Huckleberry... Let me get some sunflowers seeds, diet coke and strawberry shortcake (the food).

 

I'm your huckleberry

 

no wait I want to be the PURPLE PIEMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! BROWN CHICKEN BROWN COW!!!!! MWA HAHA HAHA

 

I can totally envision Ronnie as Huckleberry Pie or Purple Pieman. Even more than I can see me doing any sort of cutesy, even the lovably tart and fluffy Lemon Meringue. Please plan on installing a barf bag on my costume.
