Thread: Anyone Planning for 2010 yet?

Tweet

Was wondering if anyone started their thinking/planning for Halloween 2010? Gonna be having our first party and we've already decided to go with the Dead Snow-Nazi Zombies. Anyone else thinking ahead?
My friends and family think Im the only one who does this a year in advance....

Yep I was just looking at wigs this morning. I need a new one and found this website that has some really nice ones and not that expensive.

Welcome to Amphigory.com!

Actually we started ideas and planning for 2010 in August of this year in the middle of our build. It pays to think ahead

I LOVE that the people on this site make me "not crazy". I totally agree, by the time Im finished creating and sewing for the current holiday, I like to get the wheels turning for next year. Sometimes my ideas call for ordering stuff from distant places and massive searches and lots of sewing. Next year I find is not gonna be so easy already...

You caught me, one of the main reasons for my diet is to shed alot of weight to pull off my costume idea better. I want to be a zombie gentlemen in a trench coat and tophat, I am 6'2" and I could make it an outstanding costume if I was not so big around. I am also about to order the leather trench coat, the only problem is that leather trench coats creep me out since columbine. Which may make the costume creepier.

I actually just came back from Shoppers Drugmart and got some costume peices at 75% off! Gonna be a vamp goth next year!

Yep, I realized that I wouldn't be able to have things set for this year, so all of the costume work done in the the past couple months have really been geared for completion in 2010. This worked out well since I spent Halloween traveling in Southern California and I knew that a more simple in-progress costume for my "Nevermore" costume would be a must for ease of packing.

I have slowly been working on two costumes for 2010, but Nevermore at least has had a basic test run (though I'll be adding a heck of a lot to it since all I really had this year was the mask form, vest -which needs to be better fitted- and the top hat). The other costume is still in the extremely early stages and I'm actually trying to decide on a final design, plus I have to find an appropriately elaborate thrift-shop wedding dress to mess up which I imagine will take some time (and money) to find. AND I plan to start work on the mechanism for unfolding wings this weekend. And like Biggie, I really need to lose some weight as photos from this year indicated . I'm definitely too much of a "chunk-ette" at the moment which is tough for a skeletal costume as that second costume will be in part (plus paleo field season is coming up and I really have to be in shape). Argg, I usually don't buy into New Years resolutions, but I suppose this year I have to jump on the old bandwagon.

I am already thinking Dark Lily from Legend. I have always wanted to try. The collar especially will be a challenge, but she was so beautiful! I just remember being in aw of her as a kid.



Or I may go as a Zombie Pinup Girl!

Ooooh Mizerella I love both ideas, I was actually leaning towards a (and No offense to Ms. Page), but a dead Bette Page. Tastfully done ofcourse, just a zombie Bette. But, now I got roped into being a Nazi Zombie instead. I am totally psyched though to do that anyway. Gonna still get a 40's style wig and just dress in a female nazi uniform- zombie. Plus, we've got a huge crew for 2010 so it should make for some badass pictures...an entire platoon... The difficult part for me is getting the uniforms (costume versions.) They don't sell them in the States. I have to say Mizerella the Dark Lily idea could be sooo much fun to sew!

I like the platoon of Nazi Zombies that would be pretty awsome, can't wait to see that.


I am leaning to DarK Lily I have to start working it now though because I see some challenges. If it doesn't pan Zombie Pin Up is easy I have the wig and outfit just need the makeup.



Either way I better get on my tredmil.
