Actually, that sounds just about perfect. :D

My Tony Stark costume is coming along nicely. I made the mold for the arc reactor, bought the plastic, mounted the LEDs on the back plate. I just need to solder the circuit and assemble it all together. And I started growing the beard 2 weeks ago.

I'm keeping everyone at work in the dark about my costume. I want it to be a surprise. So I'm currently growing a full beard just to throw people off. So far the guesses are Obi Wan Kenobi (I great idea that I'm saving for another time), Chewbacca, an ewok. One guy did guess that I was making a full Iron Man costume. So close.

*Rolls eyes and snickers a little*

I would wear it, but, mom wouldn't let me, due to the fact that we're having my guy friends over and last year was fun with my KH2 Kairi costume since it was short. Luckily, I wore tights with it.

Cool! A Tony Stark costume. Great idea!

Right on, mom! You'll have lots of years to wear costumes with tiny skirts, ToriBear, no worries. (It seems that's all they sell for adults these days!) But I bet your vampire costume will be fun. Is it a Twilight-specific vampire? (I'm getting excited for the movie.)

I'm having that problem with my Jem costume. I cut the asymmetrical "slant" on the dress WAY too high. Indecently high. Now instead of looking for white/silver sparkly nylons, I'm looking for leggings. Do you know how hard those are to find in 2XL? (As they say, spandex is a privilege, not a right). I may cheat and get some shorts or something. Not very Jem-like, but I have too big a butt to purposely expose it.

Well, someone had to say it.
:D

Heh. Especially now! :P

Actually I was dropping hints a few weeks ago, tweeting about buying fabrics for my "truly outrageous" costume.

Shoulda kept it secret but meh, now I need a 2nd, Disney-themed one, so I'll keep THAT secret, LOL.

Jem?
