Game of Thrones – What is Dead May Never Die

Game of Thrones – What is Dead May Never Die

-by | Filed under Books,General Fandom,Movies

We start off in the Pyke, that horrible, grey island of jerks where it seems to be a constant pissing contest. Those Greyjoys are freaking nuts. But their clothes make them look like Fremen so I can get behind that. Balon continues to be a real dick to Theon about going soft. While I basically [...]

Mirror Mirror Costumes

-by | Filed under Costuming,Movies

I love the huge skirts on the costumes for the new Snow White movie Mirror Mirror. (Well, one of the new Snow White movies.) Gothic.net has a lovely gallery of the costumes in Mirror Mirror. In the behind the scenes video interview with Eiko Ishioka, she says she envisions the costuming as “hybrid classic”. Eiko [...]

Game Of Thrones: Costumes Behind the Scenes

-by | Filed under Costuming,General Fandom,Movies

I love how much attention to detail HBO’s Game of Thrones team has put into the series. If you haven’t seen this behind the scenes video on the costuming concepts, it provides a very interesting insight into the creative process. I think the costuming for this show really contributes to how real it feels. Go [...]

Little Dark Red Riding Hood Costume

-by | Filed under Costuming

I don’t care how hot the weather is because I am not going to wear gothic garb in the midday sun and my family has good central air conditioning. I have been looking for something to wear to play Little Red Riding Hood and the Horny Construction Worker and Heavy Red have been kind enough [...]

Goths in Hot Weather

Goths in Hot Weather

-by | Filed under Costuming,Web Sites

All I had to do was mention that many fanboys at the Comic Con were disgustingly sweaty from the extreme heat and that a lot of people showed up in steampunk costumes. That was all I had to do to induce dozens of people to send me emails with a link to Goths in Hot [...]

Guinness World Record Steampunk Photo

-by | Filed under Costuming,General Fandom,Real Life

The LA Weekly has a gallery of forty of their best photos from the Comic Con. I think my favorite was the steampunk animatronic girl costume and the Wonder Woman costume in the same frame. Sums up some of the factionalization at the Comic Con this year. The most extreme example of warring factions was [...]

What if I need to know more about Dalek costumes?

-by | Filed under Costuming,Gadgets,General Fandom,Movies

The Daleks were actually operated from inside by short operators who had to manipulate their eyestalks, domes and arms, as well as flashing the lights on their heads in sync with the actors supplying their voices. The Dalek cases were built in two pieces; once an operator stepped into the lower section the top would [...]
