Help with Costume ideas!

[Juri chan]

I just put through my ticket order for mickeys not so scary, then I realised I have no idea what to wear! (My partner and I used to enter cosplay contests together when we were younger, so any excuse to make a costume!)

Since we are flying from Australia, the big traditional princess ball gowns are going to be really hard to transport and other than those I have no ideas for costumes at all!

My lovely partner has her heart set on Mulan for her costume, and the only ideas I can think of are either too hard to transport, or would look too silly!

Any ideas for non-traditional costumes that would be easy to transport?

Even better if anyone can think of any characters with pink hair it would save me buying a wig!

I have to admit that Im in love with this:

but obviously would need to remake it into a bigger size! (isnt it sad how all the pretty costumes are only for little ones?)

It reminds me of the Japanese dresses I wear normally too, which is a bonus


any quirky ideas or inspiration? which costumes have you worn in the past?

Hmmmmmm.......what about "Cyndi Lauper circa 1984"? Messy red/pink hair with lots of tulle.......and black and white striped thigh-high socks.

Hmm. Costume. Pink Hair. Not to bulky.



How about 80s Cartoon Rock Goddess JEM!

Rob, that is actually a pretty good idea. You can find 80's stuff in just about any consignment shop I would think...

Or in Rob's closet. Especially the floral print gloves.

What are you doing in Rob's closet?

Clearly, he's trying on lacy 80s dresses!

I'm with one of those shows that criticizes what people wear called "Closet Purge". Surprisingly, I'm not that opposed to some of the things I've found in here. Lots of florals and metallics.......but the pleather has gotta go.

florals?

metallics?

PLEATHER?!?!?!?


That's no my closet!


Oh. You've gotten yourself confused, MonorailMan.

You're in Wally's closet instead.

You might want to run away before he closes the door and locks you in.

Luckily there's a secret entrance to one of the local bars from in here.

Jem is truly truly truly outrageous!!!!

Which is sadder, that I'm seriously considering this idea or that I'm a Jem fangilrl?

Though her hair is longer than mine, I should have gotten my partner to go as jerica benton lol.

 

[pixierella]

I love the Jem idea. You totally have to get the star earrings of course. But I love the Cyndi one even better. That's what they called me around the house when I was kid(you know, eons ago)

We were thinking of going as Malice in Wonderland and Scary **** Mad Hatter. That hat is going to be in a PITA to transport though.
