Title: some sort of fancy bird

Entry: now you can see the whole costume... im sad now that halloween is over. i never liked halloween until this year. i realized it has potential for full on glitter and camp, which is basically what makes life worth living! what to be next year...

I feel like you should send a piocture of this to Liza Minelli.

If you were a bird Sarah, you'd definatley be a peacock.

I want that bird. I love you because you don't wear cheap makeup.

oh, the makeup was really easy to get off. i turned on the shower and sat down and washed my face! i use a loreal cleanser that removes eye makeup as well. the feathers came off easily, i used latex eyelash glue, and it comes off painlessly and easily. i dont use cheap makeup, so it didnt irritate my face, and instead of crappy face paint, i used liquid shadows. i bought really fine glitter at the craft store because it is much cheaper than the sephora stuff and essentially the same thing and the jewels i used the latex glue for as well. i brought eye drops with me the the parties because the glitter was irritating my eyes and that helped to clear them out!

thanks guys! it was actually pretty simple to do the costume, the makeup was the hard part which was actually a lot more intricate in person. for the feathers around my neck and back i pinned a boa to my leotard. i bought a tutu that didn't fit right, so i cut off the waist band and pinned the tutu to fit around my waist and pinned the purple flower broach to the front and i wore black spandex leggings underneath. the feather tail was angel wings turned upside down and worn at the waist and tied around with elastic like a belt. i glued an extra row of feather plumes to the bottom of the back of the wings to elongate the tail and add color and voila! i am thinking of being an ostrich next year, but an elegant one as they are not a very pretty bird!

Wow!!!! I'm so glad you posted full pix! That's a total winner of a costume. Beautiful job!!! How did you do it?

(btw, were the feathers & glitter hard to get off your face?)

Title: success

Entry: e:hodown, where my prize at????

there were no peacock feathrs but i made one amzing bird. everyone, including myself agreed i had the coolest costume.

like tim gunn says, "make it work", which i totally did.

a couple was dressed as tim gunn and heidi klum at one of the parties. we made great friends. only true fashionistas can understand the meaning of couture halloween...

The feathers and glitter creates a pretty look.

lilho writes at 01:39:23 11/01/09 - Comment #52531

i painted my face. the feathers are glued to my eyebrows... well not anymore but they were. it looked so cool, but so uncomfortable and i am now so sick and allergic today from all of the feathers and glitter. surprised i didn't go blind.

heidi writes at 01:39:22 11/01/09 - Comment #52530

Wow!!! How did you do that? I want more pix!

I approve of this.

Wow!!! That sounds so cool!!! how about fairy wing frames available at party stores? I've heard that nice pet stores have lots of peacock feathers for cats for pretty cheap.
