costuming arrghs

I still can't believe I'm taking this so fecking seriously. School Disco, no problem - old gym skirt, white shirt, old school tie, shoes. Prom - sod the prom dress idea, I'm going as Liza Minelli in Cabaret. Full outfit, no problem, already have. This Marvel Comics thing we're doing? I'm foolishly almost completely set on Psylocke. Even bought flat boots today. And trying to figure out what the bloody pattern for the body-thing is, as of course Jim Lee when he designed it did one of his simplest costumes to draw (and disturbingly practical), it's just bloody impossible to make from a swimsuit or leotard (though I have no idea where you can get leotards in Reading) as it has a high neck. So now I'm looking for patterns or some such - and for those who read X-Men, is Psylocke's ninja cossie blue or black? Sometimes it looks blue, sometimes black, and you can't tell because of the fecking inkers.

Always looks more blue to me than black, but I wouldn't say I'm entirely positive. Inkers really have to stick to the colours sometimes.

Get your telephone directory, look for dance supply shops, and find the closest.

I'm serious. There's like...three in the general area of Nottingham's city centre. There has to be several in Redding too.
