Harry Potter / Ravenclaw “cheater” costume, first debuted in…oh my god, I don’t even know, but it’s been lolling around in my closet (and being worn just to be worn) for years. This year, it’s out for quick-and-dirty Halloween, so venture onward for details and close-ups of the pumpkins!

Quick update of the Team Rocket costume for Halloween 2016. The skirt and the life-sized Meowth remain the same, but the turtleneck is a new-to-me from the Goodwill one town over and now has a proper embroidered R emblem (purchased from Etsy, but my roommate got it for me and I couldn’t tell you what shop) instead of the sad, runny iron-ons. The gloves were picked up at Spirit Halloween specifically for this redo, and Wobuffet and Pumpkaboo were picked up because you can never have too many Pokémon plushies.

Right?

Fandom Project – Princess Luna In Her Own Right

Quick update of the Princess Luna costume for Halloween 2015 – all the major details are the same as in the original post; the only differences are that I’ve added the blue wig, so that my hair’s now (more-or-less) the proper colour, and my posterboard wings have been swapped for feathers from the Halloween department. Oh, and there’s no pegasus to pull my chariot this time around. (Damned if we didn’t lose Joey a year or two ago, too… -sigh-)

The photos were taken in the driveway beside my house – it goes so sharply downhill, into the ravine, that it can’t really be used AS a driveway. We can pretend it’s the Everfree Forest, grown wild and forbidding.
