eolo might recall that many years ago I told him I had a thing

[pez]

So, yeah. Okay, so ballroom!Dave might have white EVERYTHING (tailcoat, shirt, cravat, waistcoat, trousers, shoes, armwarmers) plus black thingys up his right arm and coloured lining for his coat. And a gold chain or two on the coat. And Valeria Heart on his back (not sure what colour yet though.)

Of course, white everything doesn't have to mean plain white. I think his waistcoat can have patterns, if I can find a decent one.

The internet is trying to tell me that for shoes, men's sizing is the same as women's, so their size 6 is the same as a women's 6. Is that true? I'm supposing men's shoes might be made wider, but overall, are the sizes the same? O_o Uhhhh suppose I should go to a shoe shop and try things out.

Is it lunch time yet?

Is it weekend yet?

That is assuming I'll be able to dance! Ah, still need to start those youtube lessons... XD

...... *randomly imagines Dave on the computer, googling for pictures of Rush's back side*

(Flag means: "please don't hurt this kid, he's from that backwater island called Eulam and he doesn't know anything!")

oh btw will you have a talisman? :D?

If you can't dance, I can't dance, and Crystal can't dance, at least we can all be uncoordinated together, I guess. :P

Maybe Dave's the one who had all the pictures of Rush's rear removed from google image search? So he could keep them all for himself preserve Rush's good reputation.

(That would explain a lot, really. Rush probably shouldn't be trusted to avoid trouble on his own.)

I was wondering about that too! Not sure how easy it'll be to make anything that looks much like it, though, having spent a while actually looking at the damned thing. Gonna poke around costume shops here tomorrow, see if I get any ideas for it that might be useful.

It's Syl. XD But hey, yeah. I don't think any of us can dance. :D

Been thinking about it... the actual glowy light part can probably be sorted out by adapting a LED light toy, something like these things. The transparent casing... will probably be a case of looking around the home and seeing if anything fits. XD;

*blushes* My brain conflates people a lot, whoops.

Hmm. I do have some large perfume vials that might work (though the ones which are closest to the right size are, uh, full. Mmm, fragrant talisman). It's the metal parts at the top and bottom which are the issue. Hm hm hm.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

No worries, I do that too!

The metal parts could probably be mimicked by carefull application of gluegun and metal-coloured spray?

[storme]

*thinks*

Maaaaybe. Will metal paint stick to glue okay, or will it flake off when it's dry?

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

The stuff I've got works fine. ^^ I've been using it on the Gae Bolg and have used it previously on other cosplays! If not, this thing is made out of industrial putty and then painted, which actually might be easier to handle than glue for a small item.

[storme]

Hmm, yeah, that turned out pretty well. I will investigate when I get back to the UK, I think.
