So Floormate and I were talking a few days before break started. We both want to go to the Pirates 3 premiere at the Fremont, in costume.
So, because Kiffies can never do anything half-assed (unless it's a school assignment), she's trying to get a good idea of what, and what isn't, plausible for a costume.
Found a relatively cheap tricorn hat on the internets, but it's black. Would prefer a brown one. Need a brown vest, some brown breeches, and stockings. Don't think there's any way I could get pirate-y boots unless a Ren Faire were to come to town between now and then, so will be internet-ninjaing to try and find some bargains.
Don't really go for swords, myself, so I was looking at a musket. Not a real one, mind, but that's where PVC pipe comes in. It is your friend. The only thing that scares me is the detail I'd need to put into it. And possibly the size. (Because I've tried to steady the Remington and it is large and not fun and is made of ohgod and D:) And a musket is less likely to get me into trouble like a pistol would. I mean, you pull a pistol or wave one around, people get edgy. It's easier to see that a musket is fake. And, you know... photo opportunities. :D
Thought about getting the nice brass compass from Smoke and Fire Trading Co. to wear as a necklace, but why spend $20 on something that is more than likely going to get broken? If I bought it, I'm not sure I could wear it as an accessory. Maybe some wooden beads or something similar? And rings. Ahaha, I have rings that are made from old spoon handles. Yes. I could wear those! :D
Okay, rant over. :3
