Show Me Yours: Costumes

This has been a while in the making, but SL has not been cooperating with me very much lately. I took a bit of a different approach to this one, as everyone's idea of a costume can vary wildly from person to person, based on their day-to-day style.
Our first model, FWord Utorid took an interesting approach. Her superhero-esque costume is based mainly off of freebies and her halo and eye effects were made by herself. That's a great tip, if you can't find something you want, try making it yourself! The hair is by Helyanwe Vindaloo of Deviant Kitties, but I don't think its available anymore. Though if you would like some equally cool hair you can check out Deviant Kitties here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Deviant%20Kitties/206/144/25/
My second model, you may recognize, is Cynthia Wheeler (check out her fabu new blog SL Fashion Forward, link is on the right =P). This naughty little devil got her costume (minus hair and skin) from one place! The devil outfit is from BabyDoll's Sexy Lingerie Boutique, it includes teddy top and bottom, gloves, boots, pasties, tail, horns and shoulder horns, for $450L. There are a bunch of cute sets at BabyDoll, so take a gander: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dongjeong/134/19/27/ Our last model is my sister LordVan Hextall. Her costume revolves around her yellow Leia dress from BossaNova, which are $150L each or a 4-pack for $400L. Even though it wasn't meant for a costume, as far as I know, it works well with other things added to it. All of the stuff at BossaNova is very retro, so get your own far out look by visiting: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dos%20Corazones/80/123/26/ The earrings and bangle came from a $1L freebie retro outfit at Panache Island: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Panache/154/127/38/ And the shoes are $1L from Celestial Studios, and they're just outside the door for a limited time: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Celestial%20City/38/215/26/
