I think that's exactly correct.
*turns to the audience*
Lestat was Anne Rice's flagship vampire/vibrator fantasy hero; a rich, closeted, stuck-up prick who so annoyed everyone around him that literally everyone who knew him well killed him. Separately. And repeatedly.

If you have the time (and it really doesn't take much) you really should practice and mess around before you go live with this (no pun intended). A lot of it is experimenting and getting your own feel for how to do it - and taking pictures of it may help getting a second look at it, because your first few attempts are going to seem really cool to you no matter what (probably).

The drunkenness can work either way for you here.
| Quote: | | The band is doing dead celebrities, so we've already got Billy Mays drumming and Steve Irwin and zombie MJ playing guitars. Should be fun. |
That's actually pretty awesome. Rock out. Maybe open up with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" just to make it clear, and do the reveal of the gunshot wound at the end of the song to start the set off with a joke? ("Thriller" seems obligatory, but (for me) disappointingly obvious.)

And able to awake powerful vampires into destroying their wretched kind...
But hot damn, you got problems Mani. Big time.
I'm quite amused. You don't know me at all. |

You give me a set up, I'll give you a punchline, what do you expect? A psychoanalysis?
Incidentally, you may be the first dude I've seen who's into Anne Rice, which kind of just adds to the whole joke.

Well, the costumes and set was historically accurate.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Also, there are lots of dudes that like AR out here. Maybe New Yorkers are weird. |

Oh no, there are lots of dudes who like Anne Rice over here too.
"Over here" being Chelsea, specifically.
Actually, fuck that, even Chelsea dudes are manlier than Anne Rice fandom. Those guys would probably be hanging out in the trendy parts of West Village.

BACK ON TOPIC
I scrapped the steampunk idea. Too much work. Instead I'm doing something stupid. But funny. It's a surprise.

I'm flipflopping on the Monarch idea because I don't want to go around in a unitard forever unable to pee.

I think I may go as the Devil instead. It may be easier.
Just a guy in a suit, but I want long hair again...
One year, I wore a business suit with a clear rain suit over me. I was the American Psycho.

Wow, in NYNY, your manliness is defined by what books you read. Weird. |

The cheapest costume I saw was also the worst (lamest) costume I saw. It was a friend of mine, with a hat he borrowed from someone else. His costume was "Me, if I wore this hat all the time." |
Wow. You're right. That is beyond lame.
Another cheap costume idea is to grab a sweatshirt and sweat pants that are a few sizes too big and a pair of gloves, and go as someone doing a handstand. You wear the shirt on your legs and the pants (with eyeholes that usually end up near the crotch) over your head, gloves on the feet, and stumble around like you don't quite have your balance. It helps if you wear a hoodie and stick a balloon in the hood.
I recommend a pair of sticks to put in the pant legs, though, as holding your arms up all night can get REALLY tiresome. Also, crap-tons of safety pins to hold everything together. The effect is pretty good, though - it won me first prize, even against the midget-girl-in-a-box-on-a-hunchback's-back, which I was sure would win.
| Quote: | | Quote: | | I actually ran over a pair of pants with my car several times to get the right effect for a zombie costume last February. Turns out it's way more fun than slashing them with a knife. |
Oh yeah. And blade cuts on fabric are way too neat for the effect you want, usually. I spent a good while actually burning half of a suit for my Harvey Two-Face costume. |
<3!
I actually haven't figured out how to tatter clothes effectively yet - the knife-slash thing looks way too fresh, and running them over with a car takes lots of time and energy... I would put them through the dryer with a few heavy, sharp rocks but honestly I'm afraid of amaging my dryer....

I had to make tattered jeans last year and I used a cheese grater and some sand paper.
I cut a slit with scissors in one place and rubbed the edges with sandpaper to roughen it. It takes time and effort though. and you get denim fuzz everywhere.
It all worked well! |

I put together half of a Vault Dweller costume. Instead of finishing it, I opted to watch horror movies all night.
I am told that this is because I am, like, super lame.

I didn't do anything because I pulled a muscle in my side on Friday and couldn't do any movements at all without pain on Saturday. it's still there today, but a lot duller fortunately.

I went to a party with dramaz and hurt feelings. FUN FUN FUN. But at least I looked cute, I suppose.

HEY GUYS!!!
I entered a contest on a site and I want to win.
I will start by saying that my entry is not the best as I had a very limited budget and have never messed with liquid latex and make-up stuff of the sort before. Also, I was very rushed and ran out of time which really made things hard. Anyway, I want to win, obviously! I want to be in the 2011 calendar and get professional make-up done dammit! So help me out, please.
Give me a 10/10 and help me climb the ladder to the top!
Horrible I know, but I really want to win. There are better entries, but ignore them because they're not me.
*Insert diabolical laugh*
