Conventional Wisdom

Yup, THIS pile of novelty shiny paper I picked up at Michaels still counts as more work than I’ve done on a costume for myself in years.  Well, okay, I also re-did that giant Tarako prop we use for Awesomely Bad, but that’s ANOTHER thing. don’t actually wear, so the point still stands.  Either way, the TRUE cosplayers are a lot more important than this goofy little concoction that got thrown away later that night.  No, seriously, I had to tape the thing together around Scribbles, which meant I had to tear the whole thing up in order to get him out.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I also need to say that the “rainbow metallic whatever” paper that made up most of the costume smelled DISCONCERTINGLY weird.  Like, genuinely metallic but also chemical-ish.  What the heck do that MAKE that stuff out of?
