    Okay, I honestly feel rude asking this, but how much do you pay for costumes like this? THEY are so awesome. I LOVE the Ironman one Andy is wearing, and you LOOK amazing in the G.I. Joe cobra one. How cool is that.

    Clara and hannah look sooo cute

    As some of you know I work for an amusement park. Well there's something called Fright Fest that starts in October and ends shortly after Halloween. Well I started a thread about being nervous about making it, well I did happen to make it and I was really happy for that lol. I like the skull make up the best, it's awesome.



    Bloody zombie me.

    My skull make up on different days - I've never worn the mask yet, there's only one. I just tried it on for a quick pic haha.



    Mask.

    This was yesterday, neon pink

    Orange.

    It's a black light tunnel, so yes the make up glows =D The skull tunnel would be so much better if we all had masks, because if you are wearing all black, which is no problem for me since thats the only clothing color I own practically and the black costume, NO one would notice anyone. The wall is black with skull "masks", just like the one mask I have on in one picture and when people pass we jump out. I usually just hide my entire face and stand against the wall, it's more like the skull and shadow tunnel. They need to get on that making of new SKULL masks lol

    I was changed to a clown for about an hour because the trails were closed for inclement weather one night. Pretty cool..I have alot of interesting stories xD



    Thanks for letting me share!

    Hannah is an adorable little gnome!! Since Bruce is short, he is thinking about being a gnome. But I think it will be too difficult to find a costume for him now.

    Alyssa, I LOVE the skull make up! That is awesome!! I bet I'll show Bruce these pictures and he'll want to do a skull face just like that.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    It's not rude. We do put a lot of money into our outfits since it's our hobby and we strive for an authentic "stepped right out of the movie/comic/tv show" look.

    All together the Baroness cost around $500. The Iron Man we got "on sale" for around $2,500.

    The zombie and skull makeup is fantastic!! Congrats on getting the job.

    I'm still working on my rodeo clown costume for work. If I tried to squeeze into that Baroness costume I'd look like a burnt marshmallow, LOL

    I just want to say, everyone's costumes look really great! Wow!!

    You can see Lyra's black kitty costume (it's sort of a costume anyway- I wanted it to be all black to match Kiki and I couldn't find one so I had to settle) in my signature. We were at a store and saw a cute kangaroo costume for Lyra on sale today, so I'll have to post that later.

    That's such a cute pic of Lyra! What an appropriate costume for PT

    I was expecting those prices, but honestly hoping for something a little cheaper. I've been wanting to get myself a commission full-body suit costume for awhile now, but I just cannot see spending so much on a costume that I don't have a use for. They are worth it, I am positive of that, but they are very expensive. I don't go to conventions or anything like that, although I'd LOVE to. The commission I want would be over $2,000 and that was just a quote I wanted a quad one, but those are EXTREMELY pricey. I'd definitely settle for the anthro one. I wanted an Anubis (like the one in Star-gate) commission done, for what? I don't know, I'd honestly walk around my house in it though, that's how cool it is.

    LOL, isn't it awesome make-up? The artists said they have the most fun with skull and clown make-up. I love the way it looks.

    Ohh! I've always toyed around with the idea of doing a Stargate costume. I adore Anubis.

    Very rarely do we ever drop all the money for the costumes at once. Typically we piece them together, spend a little here, a little there, make as much as we can by hand (buying a kit or raw piece and painting it yourself vs. paying someone else to paint it). It can take nearly a year or more to put these costumes together.

    A few of our costumes are on mannequins for display. It's like having a life size action figure.

    Oh and Hannah is so stinking cute! I saw that costume for sale and I considered it, but I decided to go with the bumble bee that I first fell in love with. That garden gnome is just too adorable!

    And Miss Clara, you're about the cutest little pumpkin I do believe I've ever seen
