Character: Buster! Arrested Development is the best tv show ever -- it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. And of course, FOX was stupid and cancelled it. D: We wanted to show our love for the show and what better way to do that then by being total nerds! Buster is the youngest in a family of crazies and through a series of odd events he goes into the Army. And he gets "trophies" in the Army. A seal for marksmanship and a gorilla for sand-racing. XD At D*C 2010, we got more of the family and Valerie and I made a Franklin puppet. We didn't think it would be that difficult - but all the carving and the sanding and the stuffing and sewing and crap took about 12 hours altogether. It was worth it though! WE LOVE FRANKLIN. And people would see Franklin first, freak out and then realize that the rest of us were the Bluth family. XD

Character: Another show that was cancelled far too soon, just like the one above! We had been marathoning the show and had BaltiCon coming up. We wanted a simple sort of costume for one of the nights and that's when we put two and two together! Everything from the set design to the costumes to the plot to the script of this show was absolutely wonderful and it was a blast to be able to show our love for it. We also had way too much fun making the box from The Pie Hole! ;D

Character: At D*C 2007, Erin, Jeremy, Ronnie and I talked about doing these costumes and a whole year later we still managed to do it (this was awesome since usually our ideas for costumes change a GAZILLION TIMES XD)! Jeremy makes an amazing J.D. (have you seen his J.D.-daydreaming face?) and Erin and Ronnie fit the bill for Carla and Turk (Erin can even make awesome bitchface like Carla!) -- now, I'm not blonde (and I didn't bother with a wig and such, since these costumes were so casual) but I am a flake like her, so we though it was fitting. ;D We had a lot of fun in these being silly and I wouldn't be surprised if we wore them again in the future cause we're all fans of the show. It was also nice to meet other fans of the show at the con. :D

Character: I wasn't really specific on a version, whether it was the TV show or movie Wednesday, cause I love both, but whichever one it looked more like (probably TV), I had so much fun with this. I was putzing around ebay and I found this dress and instantly thought HALLOWEEN IS SOON, THIS IS A SIGN. So I got it and then started searching around for a doll and so on -- I love that doll. XD I made a dress for her and then yanked the head off and threw it into the yard to add to the decor (after I made the head look nasty, of course). My mom was Morticia (we've wanted to do Morticia and Wednesday for years for Halloween) and the whole night we had a ball in these costumes. I want to wear this to a con, but I will probably have to invest in a wig or something -- the black hair spray stuff I used looked really good but it pretty much turned the white collar of the dress black. Hehe.
