Very late Halloween pictures (Wicked!)

[MissMary]

Hey everybody,

here's something "new" from me.
For this year's Halloween costume i hit the thriftstores. I bought a black dress (5€), a black shirt (1€) and the boots (3€). The hat and wig I borrowed from a friend. But (!) the broom is 100% DIY! And I love love love it! <3 I also put the collar and little sleeves on the dress (they are very small, but I think ou can kind on see them on the last picture), and altered it a little to fit me better.

Oh and the green skin...yeah, green make up was kind of expensive, i used watercolors...:rolleyes:

I love Wicked, but nobody recognized me, because here in Germany it just came out last week. And I don't like the German Lyrics at all (!), but that's another story.

Here are some pictures:

Hope you like it, although it's not so much DIY...

so long,

Mary <3

Oh, wow! I'm not a fan of the show, but you definitely look like the show poster in the middle pic.

I never would have thought of watercolors. Did it come out OK? Or did you wind up walking around with green skin the next day?

You have officially made me very, very happy. I positively adore that show and your costume came out wonderfully.

I am getting to see it for the second time in winter and I can not wait!!!

I've been trying to read that book, but my Fiance is addicted to it ): Awesome job with the watercolors! I would have never thought of that!!

[ryanmoore]

[delight]

[beam_on]

Wow.... great job! I jsut read the book and it's very close to the original cover... although I have a different version.

And... I am from Germany... I would totally have recognized it! :D But not because of the show. More because of the middle picture and yeah... the book is very descriptive when it comes to Elphaba and her clothes. :)

Hi everyone,

thanks so much for your comments! <3 I'm glad you like the costume and the pictures! <3 I like the pictures too...

@ ladyjanewriter: With a little lotion the watercolors came off just fine, only the skin around my nails looked a little unhealthy for a couple of days and it took quite a while to get all the color out of my ears. And another thing: The watercolor makes the skin really dry...

@ Candiese: Thank you! I love my broom, although it already lost some of its branches. =(

@ delight: Yeah! Green is the best (!) color! <3

@ beam_on: Yay! A fellow German! <3 All of a sudden the world feels so small! =)

Thanks again everybody! You've made my day!

Rock on,
Mary

beautiful costume, very alike!

When I was a kid, we were using aquarelle pencils to do our halloween make-up. You brought me back in my childhood for a moment! :D
