by manny

Take a look at these great costumes at the 14th Annual Alaska Ski for Women Day. Over 1500 skiers, many in costumes, helped raise money to combat domestic violence.

They raised a whopping $45,000, and looks like they had a great time doing it. This is so awesome!

Take a look at these beautiful arm warms crafted by Ginga Squid. So bright and colorful, you almost need sunglasses!

You can shop in her store by visiting GingaSquid.com – where lots of crafty items are for sale. Very cool!

I’m on a roll with these long knitted arm warmers! Its something I can do while watching TV in the evenings, waiting while the kiddies play at the jungle gym etc, etc. Saves me eating quite so many chocolate biscuits.

Homemade Venture Bros. Monarch Jacket!

by manny

I REALLY love the Venture Bros. show, and so I was extra happy when I stumbled onto this incredible homemade Monarch jacket. So awesome!

This was made by Super Costumer anigswes, who posts a ton of costumes and tutorials on her blog.

Here’s a brief snippet:

I measured hubby and picked the appropriately sized sloper for the project. I then copied the front and back of the jacket pattern pieces in order to draw my accent (yellow) pieces and cut the pattern.

Wow, she is really talented. Great job! Head on over to anigswes.com to read the full tutorial and view all the photos.

Fergie Sings in a Tron Costume

by manny

Fergie, the lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas, wore a cool Tron costume when their tour kicked off last night in Atlanta, GA.

Wow, that costume looks really awesome. I am curious, though — why a Tron costume? Do you think she got paid to wear this, as some kind of promotional deal for the upcoming Tron movie? Or is this just “inspired?”

Let’s give a round of applause to the creator of this paper Iron Man costume! Heh, pretty clever, actually. The blue gift bow on his hand is rather hilarous.

Yep, this guy knows how to save money.

Giant Dolls on the Runway

by Allison

Poor Manny hasn’t been feeling well so he asked me if I wouldn’t mind doing some guest posts. After all the nice things he posted about me, how could I refuse?

So here’s the first of my posts on cool costumes I’m loving:

Poppet

Govinda and her boyfriend George of Pink Cactus Props created these incredible fibreglass doll heads for a hair show.

PoppetPoppetPoppet

They’re calling them Poppets to avoid any copyright issues, but it’s pretty clear they were inspired by Blythe dolls.

The video is a bit long, but you can see them in action on youtube.
