Halloween 2006
Kennen wanted to be Link from the video game Zelda.  I
had lots of fun making the accessories, especially the
paper mache shield.
After seeing "Barbie Fairytopia Live", the only thing Becky
wanted to be was, of course, Elina from the show!  I went
through my stash and got out all the pink, fluffy, shiny stuff I
could find, and went to town with it.  While we were at the
theater, we got to see one of the costumes close up on
display in the lobby.  I tried to base my costume on a
combination of it and the costume in the dvd, and the doll
outfit.
Ellie and David, big Tim Burton fans, decided to be Shock and Barrel from Nightmare Before Christmas.  It
was quite a challenge, to make  costumes for human beings, and at the same time try to make them look like
extreme stop-motion characters.  Quite fun, though!  The worst part was the makeup and having to put it on
for a party and then a few days later, Halloween itself!
I was just going to wear last year's Requiem dress, but
during the pre-Halloween shopping, I found this
toatally cool witch's hat, and decided to make a
wizarding robe and be Professor MacGonnegal.
Mandy chose Helena from a music video by My
Chemical Romance.  Basically, a tight-fitting prom-trye
dress with lots of taffeta and tulle, and then of course,
the wonderful makeup she did on herself.
Justen and Beth were Christina and the Phantom, from Phantom of the Opera. We got these snow pictures a
few weeks after Halloween, when the weather cooperated up in the mountains.  Justen made his mask using  
silicon and several molds.
