    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.

    That's so cool that you wanted the same costume or basic idea. Oh, I am sure it takes awhile and I think you have a better idea then I did, but I cannot make any of this stuff myself. :/ I wish I could, and honestly would kill to know how to make costumes like that. I work with costumes on a daily basis, but the ones at work are literal s*** lol. What was the most you've ever paid for a costume? and do you have any actual "fuzzy" animal type costumes whether it be a half-suit or full?

    Sorry for all the questions, I am just curious, I am serious about buying one of these EVENTUALLY.

    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
