Who are you talking too? GOTH BLESS AMERICA!2006-09-24 [sequeena_rae]: Awesome entry [peacefrog]!
2006-09-24 [peacefrog]: Thank you! I am the only person not dressing as a whore of some fashion!
2006-09-24 [Sunrose]: You do realise that it's preferred that you post your costume for this year? :)
2006-09-24 [peacefrog]: Well, I am dressing as this again, 'cause I worked really hard on it. The damn mushrooms kept popping off the hair clips, lol.
2006-09-24 [Sunrose]: Alright ^^;
2006-09-26 [runnybabbit]: I should put in my porcelain doll costume....onc
2006-09-28 [Arisonu]: I'm working on a "Prospero" costume.
2006-09-28 [serendipity814]: awesome Arisonu!!!, I love the tempest, maybe i should dress as Ariel and we can go together...tha
2006-09-29 [Ilana]: Ah... I'm going to be wearing that twi'lek costume this year... I'd better get some good pics of it!
2006-09-30 [serendipity814]: Damn, i think due to budgetary reasons ill be a pirate...yay for twi'lek's, its an awesome costume!!! truely worthy of cosplay-ing
2006-09-30 [Arisonu]: Well, the character for the costume is kind of like Prospero, I suppose. His name is actually Linus.
2006-10-03 [Paul Doyle]: Hopefully, Linus isn't the kid with the blanket ;-)
2006-10-03 [Arisonu]: Lol. Though my Linus isn't as likely to be seen sitting in a pumpkin patch on Halloween.
2006-10-04 [serendipity814]: lol......why not place pumpkins in a cemetary and light candles in them....my friend did it a few times, it spoosk people out
2006-10-04 [peacefrog]: That sounds like a whole hell of a lot of fun. But I would pee my pants.
2006-10-04 [serendipity814]: lol maybe a small cemetary would be cool, id hate to do it to a big one...too much time
2006-10-04 [peacefrog]: Well, you can just put them on a few of the head stones, I mean, every single one would be excessive anyway.
2006-10-04 [Ilana]: Indeed... that would be creepy.
2006-10-04 [peacefrog]: Yeah, the effect would be so much greater.
2006-10-04 [Ravenclaw]: anyone have any advice for hiding fabric glue? I used fabric glue to attatch a semi-sheer material onto a wool coat and the glue shown threw. I'm faced with sewing bunched ruffels along the seems where the glue is.
2006-10-04 [peacefrog]: Yeah, I don't know. That happened with my wings, but, as I was a zombie, I decided it didn't matter.
2006-10-04 [Ravenclaw]: I think I'm just gonna have to break down and use the rest of the material I was saving to add seamwork.
2006-10-04 [popeyethecat]: hmm... are these alright for the contest? It's this year, and it's me dressed as Robert Smith (from the Cure) http://elftown
Thankyou! :)
2006-10-04 [peacefrog]: You look pretty much like my old room mate. If she died her hair.
2006-10-04 [Sunrose]: Hmm it isn't very Halloweenish, if I may say so :/
2006-10-05 [Ilana]: And not very elaborate... I know guys who look like that every day.
2006-10-05 [peacefrog]: And one girl. My room mate.
2006-10-05 [Ilana]: Yes, you said.
2006-10-05 [peacefrog]: Sorry, mentally scarred.
2006-10-05 [popeyethecat]: Okay, I won't bother, then :)
2006-10-05 [peacefrog]: You won't bother mentally scarring me?
2006-10-06 [popeyethecat]: XD that too
2006-10-06 [peacefrog]: Well, what else won't you bother with?
2006-10-06 [serendipity814]: ....sorry this is totally random but why do people often associate other peoples looks with animals? ...like that person loks like a duck, or hey that guy looks like a rooster...it happens often, or am i on crack?
2006-10-06 [Teufelsweib]: this is an official contest, please move your random comments to wiki's that are meant for chatting.
2006-10-06 [popeyethecat]: Sorry, what I meant was I won't bother entering :)
2006-10-06 [peacefrog]: Oh, ok. My poor brain.
2006-10-14 [Ilana]: Yay! I entered!
2006-10-14 [~Lady Morgana~]: I love it :D :D :D
2006-10-14 [Ilana]: Thank you!
2006-10-14 [Arisonu]: Sweet Star Wars cossie.
2006-10-14 [peacefrog]: Neat costume...and picturesque lightsaber battle.
2006-10-14 [Sunrose]: [Ilana]: Even though your entries were really cool, they need to be uploaded to Elftown to be accepted as entries :/
Hence they've been removed, please upload them here and resumbit ^^'
2006-10-14 [Mekashef]: It was a lot of fun walking through the neighbourhood to the woods where these pictures were taken. The perplexed stares we got from my neighbours were priceless!
2006-10-14 [Sunrose]: They probably ran away after seeing the last move? :P
2006-10-14 [peacefrog]: do you mean the "wrath" move...
or the last movie...'cause I would have run after the secondmovie. Blech.
2006-10-14 [peacefrog]: Well, alright then. Thanks for the clarification. Nothing's scarier than the new movies, though.
2006-10-14 [Mekashef]: Where did Ilana's pictures go?!
2006-10-14 [Mekashef]: Oh, sorry. I was worried I might have edited them out or something. I did some copy & paste, you see, & I do get clumsy at times.
2006-10-14 [Ilana]: Oops! I'll redo that!
2006-10-14 [Ilana]: All better! :D
2006-10-14 [Sunrose]: Wheee ^^ Wow, how did you make that headpiece? :O
2006-10-14 [Ilana]: It was very difficult, but I found a tutorial here: http://imageev
2006-10-14 [Sunrose]: Amazing ^_^;
2006-10-14 [Ilana]: Thanks :D
2006-10-17 [Ilana]: I wonder if there'll be all sorts of last-minute entries...
2006-10-17 [peacefrog]: Probably. It's really diffucult to finish by the deadline. I would have posted mine last year, except that it was done the 30th. So, I posted it this year as I'll be wearing it again.
2006-10-18 [Ilana]: Ah coolness. I was going to enter last year too, but my costume was also very last minute... though it was a cool one. I never got any really good pictures of it either.
2006-10-18 [peacefrog]: that's a shame. I also don't know why past costumes can't be entered. I suppose it may be because someone might enter something over and over and win with the same costume...but you'd think people'd notice.
2006-10-18 [Ilana]: Yeah, and I guess it's so that people don't enter a costume from 5 years ago when it's not really new and interesting anymore.
2006-10-18 [Mekashef]: I think it's also a matter of stimulating creativity, which is part of what Elftown is all about.
2006-10-18 [~Lady Morgana~]: Isn't it amazing how yellow teeth look like with a white face paint? >.<
2006-10-18 [Perplexity]: Nice job on the face paint, Morgana. The green hair complements your eyes nicely ^^
Mekshef and Ilana, those are really fantastic costumes! Who won the light sabre duel?
2006-10-18 [~Lady Morgana~]: Thank you very much! :D
Now this would be interesting to know? :O
2006-10-18 [Arisonu]: That, Morgana, would definitly haunt somebody's nightmares.
2006-10-18 [~Lady Morgana~]: Hahaha thank you very much! XD
2006-10-19 [Mekashef]: Ilana won, but I came back as a ghost.
& now I'm going to have to check my closet & under the bed for scary-looking mimes. Great picture as always, Morgana!
2006-10-19 [Ilana]: Yes, your facepaint is really cool, Morgana!
2006-10-19 [~Lady Morgana~]: Thank you two!:D
2006-10-20 [Bliz]: No, unfortunately, I've been really busy this year, so I bought the kimono, and just sort of peiced together the rest of the outfit ^^
2006-10-21 [Perplexity]: Its beeyootiful!
2006-10-21 [Sunrose]: The problem is that this contest is about own made costumes, not just costumes :/
Therefore I have removed your entry :(
2006-10-21 [Perplexity]: Aww, yeah I forgot about that detail.
2006-10-21 [Lothuriel]: *is sewing like a mad woman*
2006-10-21 [Ilana]: Aww... I never got to see the kimono... oh well. Hurry everyone! Only 4 days left!!
2006-10-24 [Perplexity]: Beautiful outfit, [skittels].
2006-10-24 [Ilana]: I like the cape!
2006-10-24 [skittels]: thnx :), its to bad this contest ends soon otherwise I could have put my halloween costume on ^^
2006-10-24 [Sunrose]: Ehm..this contest is supposed to be about your Halloween costume >_>
Also, did you create this costume yourself? Or did you just combine things together that you bought?
2006-10-24 [skittels]: I made everything myself except for the shirt I'm wearing. The skirt, cape, little red bag and staf I made myself :)
2006-10-24 [Sunrose]: Cool ^^
2006-10-24 [Arisonu]: Wow. I'm getting upstaged by zombies, evil clowns, monsters, and goth chicks. Good costumes, though.
2006-10-25 [mew Aeris]: yay! finally! it took me forever to finish the mask...
2006-10-25 [Ilana]: Wow, mew! How do you see in that mask? It's really neat.
2006-10-25 [Sunrose]: [Deleted1906721]: Your entries have been removed, because they weren't uploaded to Elftown :/
Please upload them here and resubmit ^^'
2006-10-25 [Sunrose]: [Diiwica]: is there no better image of your costume? You can barely see it, let alone admire it.. :/
2006-10-25 [Arisonu]: Uh, [Deleted1906721], just out of curiousity, are you naked in the pic or did you create a nude bodysuit with the "scars" and "slashs and cuts"?
2006-10-25 [Deleted1906721]: Arisonu, I've actually got on a skin colored strapless bra and panty set, but I just tried not to get that in the picture because in the movie The Angry Princess IS naked, I did however use some greyish body makeup and as for the scars/slashes, I painted them directly onto my skin with paint and makeup :)
2006-10-25 [~Lady Morgana~]: It looks awesome! :O
2006-10-25 [Deleted1906721]: Thank-you, Lady Morgana! Your joker makeup looks great!! :)
2006-10-26 [~Lady Morgana~]: Thank you too! :D
I love to work with make up ... especially since I am not able to sew ;)
2006-10-26 [Ilana]: All the costumes are so great! This is awesome!
2006-10-26 [Beautyeverywhere]: can part of our costumes be store bought, like the wig i bought?
2006-10-26 [Arisonu]: I think the general idea is that 95% or more has to be made or altered greatly by you. I didn't make the slippers or socks for my costume. I'm not that good yet.
2006-10-26 [Perplexity]: Yay for Pyramid Head! Great costume idea!
2006-10-26 [Angelic nightmares]: we still got time for last minute entries?
2006-10-26 [Diiwica]: Not really :/ that was suppost to be the essance of it...
2006-10-26 [mew Aeris]: thanks! the bottom is open, so I can see from the bottom
2006-10-26 [shotokan_gal]: The costume contest deadline was extended to the 29th, so yes there's still time for this one.
2006-10-26 [Ilana]: Oh, I see. I was wondering if maybe you made the mask out of a transparent material or something. Well, semi-transpare
2006-10-27 [Mekashef]: Why, thank you very much [peacefrog]. It didn't turn out nearly as well as I'd hope, but it was an educational experience.
2006-10-27 [Perplexity]: Learning is half the battle you know.
2006-10-27 [Mekashef]: I've been told that, but I've always wondered: what's the other half? The actual fighting? :P
2006-10-27 [mew Aeris]: yeah, I was thinking of using material like that, but I ran out of time... and money! I need to save up so I can make Organization Robes from Kingdom Hearts 2...
2006-10-27 [Ilana]: Sweet.
2006-10-27 [Angelic nightmares]: Thank you to who ever extended the dead-line. I greatly appercaite it. That at least gives me a couple extra days to finish.
2006-10-27 [Moonlit Serenade]: I'm almost done! I don't know how I would have finished in time without the extension (I sew slowly).
2006-10-28 [Deleted1906721]: [pdiotte], Your elf costume is adorable! I love the pointed ears! :)
2006-10-28 [pdiotte]: Thanks Perfect_Lie ^.^ I really like it! Unfortunately though, they hurt to take off! lol I had to glue them on :P
2006-10-28 [mew Aeris]: aww... that must suck
2006-10-29 [Lady of Lore]: yay! Mine will come up soon, I'm a gyspsy fortune teller from my novel ^^
2006-10-30 [Sunrose]: The deadline was again changed, to 2nd of November 2006. That way everyone should have a chance to take a picture of their costume and submit it here. I simply want more entries before we select a winner :)
2006-10-30 [~Lady Morgana~]: Yes I like the idea! Many people still had to finish their costumes *^.^*
2006-10-30 [Ilana]: And if they don't finish by Nov. 2, I think they've missed the point, as well as the deadline. Heh heh...
2006-10-30 [Arisonu]: [Moonlit Serenade], you're so...pink.
2006-10-30 [Moonlit Serenade]: Yay! I can take better pictures when it's not dark out!! -happy dance-
And I am so glad you noticed, [Arisonu]!
2006-10-30 [~Lady Morgana~]: Hahahaha! XD
2006-10-31 [Angelic nightmares]: Thanks [Sunrose]. I'll have my other picture up tomorrow.
2006-10-31 [moonscale]: I am working on 5 costumes so I can't really photograph any till halloween.
2006-10-31 [moonscale]: Happy Halloween! (almost forgot to say :)
2006-10-31 [peacefrog]: School is getting in the way of my halloween festivities. I think it should be a national holiday.
2006-10-31 [Tyrvald]: *smiles* love the costumes guys!
2006-10-31 [mew Aeris]: Woot! halloween has finally arived!!!! free candy for all!!!!!! p.s. happy Final Fantasy XII for those who get it >:D
2006-11-01 [moira hawthorne]: Happy Halloween/Samh
2006-11-01 [Arisonu]: Happy Halloween!
2006-11-01 [Lakayana]: happy halloween
2006-11-01 [moira hawthorne]: there are all some awesome costumes here!
2006-11-01 [Ilana]: Indeed there are! Happy post-Halloween
2006-11-01 [moira hawthorne]: are we coming down from candies yet...??? or is everyone still gorging?
2006-11-01 [mew Aeris]: XD someone liked my costume so much, they dummped an entire bucket of candy in my bag lol... I think I did a good job!
2006-11-01 [Ilana]: Sweet! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go trick-or-treat
2006-11-01 [peacefrog]: I had pizza instead of candy...
2006-11-01 [Sunrose]: [Diiwica]: Your entry has been removed. You can hardly see the costume you created and I don't understand how that is 'the essence' of it :/
[pdiotte]: Your entry has been removed, because it doesn't really show a costume or make-up. You can only see part of the hood.
The wiki has been divided into 'clothing' and 'make-up', because some of the submitted entries aren't actual costumes but revolve more around the make-up applied to the face (and upper-body) :)
The actual goal is to submit a whole home-made costume, but I don't want to dismiss the wonderful artistic make-up :)
[Moonlit Serenade]: it would be cool if you could get a picture of your costime with brighter light :)
Moira: I was wondering if the outfit you're wearing was also self made...? :)
2006-11-01 [Lothuriel]: Aww, she's adorable!
2006-11-01 [Elisha Kelly]: thanks :)
2006-11-02 [Moonlit Serenade]: I would love to get a better picture, but the camera just went with my friend's father to New Orleans. ^^ But maybe, by some strange luck, someone will have a camera I can borrow within the next six hours or so. *hopes*
2006-11-02 [moira hawthorne]: the rule say...
1. Costumes must have been put together and designed by YOU.
No store sold this costume... it was designed interiorlty out of my fevered brain. I conceived it over this month.. changing it as weather and time to get dress allowed... so in detail... I put together my outfit.. of parts are sewn by me plus parts bought over the years.. None of it has been worn all together as this outfit before... The hat and jacket are authentic antique top hat and tails... the white shirt I sewed myself... the grey shirt was bought this year... the fitted pants socks and boots were bought all at different times... the socks are from when I was a teen... I was going to wear my leather S&M-B&D outfit I made myself... under the tails but it was abit cold.. and the thigh high leather boots I made... well I had them on at one point.. but they didnt quite fit anymore... and had to somehow pull them off myself without help... and pulled several muscles doing so...
2006-11-02 [Jewl]: XD I couldn't resist...
2006-11-02 [Sunrose]: Alright :)
2006-11-02 [Moonlit Serenade]: If only I wasn't a size 5... :)
2006-11-02 [Jitter]: Question: Can we enter for both costumes and makeup? Cause I made some shots dressed as apirate (blame POTC2)
2006-11-02 [Sunrose]: Well, since this contest is mainly about costumes, it would be great if you could add a picture of a costume as well :)
2006-11-02 [Jitter]: Ooh Nice ^^
2006-11-02 [Deleted1906721]: Well, since today is the last day, I just wanted to say that everyone looks wonderful!! I've had so much fun seeing all the different entries come in, I know everyone has worked really hard and put a lot of creative effort into this contest, I just wanted to say good luck to everyone because you all look super amazing!! :)
2006-11-02 [Elisha Kelly]: thanks thats sweet :)
2006-11-02 [Moonlit Serenade]: Thank you!
2006-11-03 [Ilana]: So, this contest is closed now?
2006-11-03 [Perplexity]: Your costume is so wonderfully inventive, [Lady of Lore] - that headdress really looks so great!
2006-11-03 [Lady of Lore]: ^__^ Thanks, it seemed like such a random idea at the time but it looks great!
2006-11-03 [Lady of Lore]: Thank you very much to whoever fixed my entry!
2006-11-03 [moira hawthorne]: just the number is wrong now
2006-11-03 [peacefrog]: 8, 14, they're both...even?
2006-11-03 [Lady of Lore]: lol thanks
2006-11-05 [Diiwica]: is it to late to say that I have found more pics of my costume?
http://elftown
http://elftown
http://elftown
2006-11-05 [Ilana]: I'm a big fan of the chain, but I have a feeling that it's too late. Too bad...
2006-11-05 [Sunrose]: The contestpages were already closed 2 days after the deadline, which was postponed twice as well.
2006-11-05 [moira hawthorne]: Diiwica thats a coool costume!
Aodh is pissed at me that I didnt dress as him...
but now I have a whole year to make all his clothes
and get him just right...
2006-11-06 [peacefrog]: So how is the winner determined?
2006-11-06 [Sunrose]: First we're working on the poetry-winners
2006-11-06 [moira hawthorne]: wow 80 poems!
2006-11-06 [Arisonu]: I don't think I can read that many without losing interest.
2006-11-06 [moira hawthorne]: yah i think my brain would fuzz over... 80 images i could do...
2006-11-06 [peacefrog]: I said "how"
2006-11-06 [moira hawthorne]: the council decides.... limits the choices to their favorites... than puts it up on main st for a popular vote.
2006-11-06 [peacefrog]: Oh, neat. Thank you!
And yeah...poetry and I are uneasy friends.
2006-11-07 [Ilana]: Pictures are easy because you can look at tons of them really fast... but poems you have to read and analyze... ugh.
2006-11-07 [Moonlit Serenade]: I love poetry!
2006-11-07 [peacefrog]: I think they have to go through a few more brain sections.
2006-11-07 [Diiwica]: Yes I know it was posponed, That is why I was asking. Because you asked me If I had other pics, and I was fortionate enough to be able to restore my comp and find some. But it is isn't its not big :) things happen for a reason :D
2006-11-08 [mew Aeris]: gwwaaaa... I love pomes, yeah... but 80! X.X
2006-11-09 [Lothuriel]: Shhhh...hehe..
2006-11-09 [Ilana]: I just saw the badge on his house... but I'll say no more.
2006-11-09 [Lothuriel]: hehe...I am playing. The participants got badged before the winners were announced. No big deal really. Hopefully the announcment will be on Main Street soon.
2006-11-09 [Ilana]: Hopefully! I can hardly wait until this contest here is judged! :D
2006-11-09 [Lothuriel]: It is being done as we speak...er, um, type...
2006-11-09 [moira hawthorne]: lalalalalalala
2006-11-09 [Ilana]: Yay! *gets so excited she pees herself*
2006-11-09 [Keseken]: Wow. Coffee really does it for yeh? :P
2006-11-09 [Ilana]: More the imminent judging of this contest.
2006-11-09 [moira hawthorne]: hahahahaahhaha
2006-11-09 [peacefrog]: Right, let's get this shit over with and move on to Christmas merchandising.
kidding.
2006-11-09 [moonscale]: On the day before halloweeen, I got a magazine full of christmas ads!
2006-11-09 [moira hawthorne]: my mail is full of them... gggrrrrrrrrrrr
2006-11-09 [Ilana]: Our local grocery store had Christmas stuff up way before Halloween. It makes me angry...
2006-11-09 [Mekashef]: It makes me angry too. I think there should be a "Give Us a Break Between Halloween & Christmas" protest squad.
2006-11-09 [moira hawthorne]: yah December is soooon enough! for (pun alert) christsake!
2006-11-10 [Ilana]: AHH!!! I won!
2006-11-10 [Arisonu]: Did voting even happen?
2006-11-10 [mew Aeris]: how long will it be on main street?
2006-11-10 [Sunrose]: Not too long...
