I always shoot for authenticity when it comes to costumes, it is the small details that make the difference. So the overalls, boots, and red under armor (to cover up a store bought “muscle shirt”) were the easy parts. I shaved my head, so the Mohawk was attached with double face tape, and the makeup … Read more

The particular homemade Ziggy Stardust costume I chose to make was striped with pink, blue and silver, with a green, silver and orange striped collar and shoulder pieces. Naturally, it’s … Read more

Plimsoles that were too small, clip on earrings that left me scarred for life. Brown face paint (several layers as I am pretty pale). … Read more

I pity da fool who wastes money on store-bought costumes like a sucka! The A-Team was my and my husband’s favorite TV show as kids.
