My Mum gave me the go ahead to dress up as either of the costumes I want as long as I can do it cheaply. Now, where do I find quad skates cheaply? >.< Damn it. :P

You had better ask the hotels permission to go rolling around before you do it. I got thrown out of a bar for doing that once... Just a warning. They get pissy about their floors :/

thats one of the reasons i backed out of it. i didnt think the hotel would let me blade, and u cnt be charlies angels anya without blades.
that would be a great costume if you were allowed  :D

LMAO well if you look like a 'right bosom' just find someone to go as a 'left bosom' hahaha

sorry it was funny in my head

My friends and i have talked a little about costumes but not sure if we are definately going as that or not yet so will talk to them some more. not sure if we can pull it off or not. will be cool if we do (not telling yet hihihi)

Two important thing about choosing costumes occured to me at work today (seem to spend most of my time at work thinking about hallowhedon lately lol)

1) have to be able to move fairly freely in them cos of the dancing
2) Gonna get pretty hot dancing anyway so thick layers of clothing would be pretty uncomfortable by the end of the evening.
Apparently it is customary to list who you have met at cons in your signature so heres mine;

Non-Whedonverse:

I have begged my mum to make me the blue and gold dress Tara wears when she sings Under Your Spell in Once more with Feeling. Though my mum has never made a dress before so I dread to think how it will come out!

There's no way I will persuade her to make two costumes and I am useless with a sewing machine myself so Fri night I think I will do a bit of a non-descript Buffy outfit! Jeans and a tight top probably!

...If I find any cheap leather look trousers I might try them on but I'm not sure I could wear them without looking huge/ridiculous... do they even come in size 16??!

Thanks :) I know it looks really tricky, it's sooo pretty though! I showed it to my mum and kept pausing the DVD on close-ups and she looked gradually more horrified throughout!! Can't think of anything else to go as though so have to try, unless I can come up with something else!

If I lose enough weight to fit back into them i'll bring them lol.

I actually go a really good deal on the ones i've got just now they're real leather and only cost £30 but I think that was because it was a dodgy shop lol. My fake leather ones that I ripped were size 16 too but I don't remember where I got them.
