Black shoe polish might have worked on the I-Jones whip but a "real" one is easily better...plus it's always good to keep in close contact with your adult supply friends

I made a cane a few years ago for a pimp costume that would work nicely. I used a peice of thin wall tube (I guess PVC would work but might look flimsy) painted it metallic gold and hot glued a irridesent plastic Christmas tree ornament to the top.

As seen here.

jbusby-thanks for the input...glad you like it! I hope to see pics of your sweeney todd costume soon! That should be a great one to put together!!

churchofsubgenious-thanks for the tip on the cane! that would be great to have it painted blk and then maybe put a large eyeball on top! Another project here I come!LOL BTW-friends with good connections are always good to have as I am sure you know being the PIMP that you are! LOL

I actually have a black whip! *ahem* okk,,,moving on. LOL

How about...just try a gold ribbon on that hat...not sure, but it might help offset the red feathers and pin...and tie into the newly (and lovely) brass buttons and chain you added to the corset.

Just a thought.

Great costume. I really like the buttons and chains. How about a pocket watch? I guess you would need a pocket to go with it.

Wow. Your costume is amazing. I'm so proud of you.
I am re-inspired. I was thinking I wouldn't be able to complete my costume in time because my husband's is so complicated. But now I'll be be putting in overtime to finish his so I can start on mine.
I especially like your feather placement. Do you mind if I steal it? Also, where did you get your feather? Maybe it can help me find one I'm satisfied with.
Great job!

bevann-I did try the gold ribbon, but just couldnt find one that didnt remind me of Christmas! They all seem very sparkly and maybe cording could work, but maybe too thin. Thanks for the thought though because I actually had thought about it too...just didnt work as well.

Finn-neat idea for the watch and I have a beautiful vintage one my Mom gave me as an heirloom, but like you said...no pocket and I dont think I can fit anything else in that corset!!LOL

HappyScientist-so glad you got to see the pics and even better that you like them. Of course you can use anything from the look!! I am just happy to have everyone weigh in and give me that second opinion. The feather I got from Michaels and they only had one red left and assured me they would get more and havent yet. This one is pretty scraggly at the top so I am just useing it for placement right now and did find some full beautiful ones at a local costume store and will go get one now that the hat is done. Joannes also has them, but not in red at the one by me. Not sure what kind of stores you have in SC, but the craft stores seem to carry them around here. Is your hat a mini too? the size of this feather is great I think, I just want it nice and full! Well get to work on your hubbys so that you can get yours going and post some pics!! What is your man gonna be BTW?

I have been slaving over an Elvis jumpsuit for the hubby, lol. I didn't think, 3 months ago, that these costumes would be such a big undertaking!
Wow! Wish me luck, I have a three day weekend ahead!
