::is so incredibly amused::

As many of you have guessed, I've been seriously considering going as Movie!Nightcrawler for Halloween. I have the pants, I have a similar-enough coat, and the vest thing and rosary don't look like they would be hard to find. I already have quite a few ideas on how to do the feet. My main obstacle would be the blue skin. I've asked around on various LJ communities, but I haven't heard of any good body paints that don't rub off on everything and/or stain the skin. So out of curiosity, I Googled "blue body paint." As luck would have it, one of the first results was a blue liquid latex body paint that rather looked like something the costume designers used on Mystique. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed absolutely perfect. It wouldn't rub off on any of my clothes, and it would be more durable so that I wouldn't have to patch it up, and it peels right off, no fuss. I could probably even draw in the scars if I wanted to.

The downside? It was being offered by a sex toy website. What would dear mum and dad think when they saw such a purchase on their innocent, darling daughter's credit card statement? So I called my mom and told her the story, which she found hilarious as well, and she's going to help me out. As I have no car and public transportation is annoying, she's going to look around Dallas to see if there are any other alternatives in costume shops before we go ahead with the sex toy website. She's also going to make me a tail, as I have no sewing machine! ::hearts:: My mom is awesome.
