× MAID MARIAN - ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS ×

MAID MARIAN

Character: Haha, so Team Takeo. We have been talking about doing these costumes for years now and we finally got them done! They were a lot of fun too. Out of all of Maid Marian's outfits in the movie, I always thought the bright pink velvet cape of ABSOLUTE DOOM would be the most recognizable and fit in the best with the Men In Tights (she's pretty much surrounded by them when she wears the cloak and Robin "sings" to her, lol). I couldn't find a costume crown like hers (that wasn't a buttload of money) so I ended up with a golden wire tiara thing, which worked fine for me. Hehe. Wearing these costumes was awesome, but damn was that thing hot! We were down in the food court and I was standing in line to buy some lunch -- now, under the cloak, I was wearing a nightgown, like she does in the movie. It wasn't a very thick nightgown by any standards, so that didn't add to the heat problem -- but that cloak acted like six layers of clothing, seriously. I think it was worth it though cause it was awesome to have people singing the Men in Tights song along with us as we walked by.

Fun things: Besides being damn hot, the costume was pretty comfy (like walking around in pj's!) and it was so entertaining with the all the men in tights and the singing and stuff.
Bad things: That cloak was BURNING HOT. D:
