Okay okay, I know these boring cosplay posts belong in my Skunkworks journal, but this is funny, so I made an exception.
So anyways, remember those stilts I was working on? Sunday I ran into a big dead-end and I was in a funk for most of the day because it looked like this costume was just going to be impossible. I've never been this stumped on a costume before. I was _THIS_ close to giving up because I was completely out of ideas.
Today at work I came up with one little idea and I told myself, "Okay, we'll try this idea, but if it doesn't work, forget it, we're not doing this costume." Lo and behold, it worked! I can walk in these stilts!!! It's a helluva workout, but it works! I got to where I was feeling comfortable walking in them so I thought, "Hey, get this on film so you can see how it looks from the side. And you can post it to the internet so people can tell you how awesome your cosplay skillz are! Yeah!"
But um, I guess the cosplay gods decided to teach me some humility. So . . . here's my blooper reel. (P.S. It sounds worse than it actually was.)
