Your Dr. Horrible costume is a total riot. :-) I have a link to Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog on my website as well. <BR/><BR/>I was so happy when I learned I could watch DHSB for free on Hulu here:<BR/>http://www.drhorrible.com/mushortio.html<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818111801666078642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16462573.post-76061852803540637492008-11-07T10:59:00.000-06:002008-11-07T10:59:00.000-06:00If you cannot find the Hat costume person in the 3...If you cannot find the Hat costume person in the 3rd photo, take another look. That's a colorful had and a full-body black cloth drape, over a 9 year old girl. :)Aaron DaMommiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065877179875338395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16462573.post-25657805666994607782008-11-07T10:58:00.000-06:002008-11-07T10:58:00.000-06:00Yes, Mikael, your goggle comments are right on. Wo...Yes, Mikael, your goggle comments are right on. Wow, the Hellboy connection, that's a good idea. I read somewhere that goggles are the big special thing for steampunk, and if you look around online you'll find lots of goggle-making howtos. And these are costume fake goggles, mainly. ;)Aaron DaMommiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065877179875338395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16462573.post-5627155084149760822008-11-07T10:11:00.000-06:002008-11-07T10:11:00.000-06:00Nice!

(I think Hellboy's look is successful partly because the sawed off horns look like goggles on his forehead.) I guess they evoke being in a lab since goggles are common safety gear when doing experimental lab-type stuff. And they're also associated with aviation and pilots.Mikael Behrenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15699778875123504190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16462573.post-80393993008293827122008-11-07T09:46:00.000-06:002008-11-07T09:46:00.000-06:00Very nice. You are totally right, the goggles real...Very nice. You are totally right, the goggles really make the costume SING . . . slightly off-key and finishing with an evil cackle, no less. <BR/><BR/>I like the other costumes as well. I like to tell myself that if I still lived in Austin your example might inspire me to think of a costume. But I like to think a lot of improbable things. <BR/><BR/>Does make me want to get some goggles, however. And/or a WW I or II style leather aviator helmet. And a bomber jacket.<BR/><BR/>But I'm afraid my clothing funds need to go toward something like better high-tech rain/winter gear with a removable liner. <BR/><BR/>Just not the same.Doug Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554340882842070748noreply@blogger.com
