While, obviously, being an incredibly creative and beautiful woman, this costumer is also a Derby girl. That's right, not only can she kick ass with a sewing machine and any material, she can also knock you down on some skates. She's been my inspiration as I've continued costuming and is always always always coming up with some new project that makes all the other projects look like a lame Pimp My Ride episode. Not the cool ones. I chose this picture (among the two I could find on google) for its evidence of her superior creativity. My favorite of her current costumes, though, is probably her female Dr. Strange. She did this for the first time this year, and it looked amazing. She hand painted giraffe print arm warmers... I think that's all I have to say.

I have had the pleasure of chatting with this lovely lady several years in a row. She's an incredible sweetheart and a dedicated costumer. This year, she got painted blue to finish the proper look of a character, which is amazing. She is often accompanied by her man, who is also awesome (but I don't want to get sidetracked). I love seeing what she chooses and I love that she enjoys repeating her costumes. She has a knack for the specific characters that work best for her. I can't wait to see what she does next year, I can only hope I get to chat with her longer than I did this year!

As you can see, Maxim even finds this girl to be spectacular. She's a huge Star Wars fan, and her costumes always turn out stupendous. Take a look at her fan page to see some of the other wonderful pieces she's done, because I can't say enough about them. She's a super sweet lady, a blonde bombshell and a stunning costumer. She gets outside of the SW lines as well, having done a very nice Princess Bride and a host of other costumes I can't even begin to describe.

Another Meagan who rocks the costuming... This lady is my star. I'm actually jealous of her ability to bring these characters to life. She's done EVERY costume I had originally planned to do, and so much better than I ever could. This Aphrodite IX is evidence of such. She's also brought to life, in stunning result, Poison Ivy, the Magdalena and Sydney Savage. My four all-time NEED-to-do-costume costumes and she's done them with such amazing ability I'm at a loss for words. If I ever meet this girl I'm pretty sure I'll fan gush and she'll think I'm a crazy spaz. Ah well. I'm happy there's another lady out there hitting these visions straight out of the park because its an awesome treat for the eye. I'll continue stalking her from a distance and gush over every new costume she does. (Much like I did for her newest Lara Croft).
Ok, not as many fan pages this time, but you get the drift. I'm trying to space out the fan pages because there aren't a lot left on the list... Apparently not enough of these ladies know how incredibly awesome they are and how much people love to see their costumes! Hopefully I can post another of these soon...
Another great line-up of ladies. I'm especially glad you included Sandy. She is such a sweetheart and good friend as well!
ReplyDeleteThere are still more awesome female costumers that I do hope you take the time to share.
ReplyDeleteI wish blogspot had some sort of tag system for me to easily navigate between these related female costumer posts.
@Nigel, thank you. I already have planned a LOT more awesome costumers. Most have some sort of link, but those that don't and aren't as well known I plan to use some of Lenny's pics for.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading!
