Tom Servo & Pearl Forrester in The Land of the Giants

By Arlen Posted on April 2, 2024 Posted in Costuming 2 Comments

We are big Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans. Big being an important point. CostumeCon was in Denver this last weekend (it is a traveling convention, so is in a different city every year), and we decided that we would like to …

Muad’Dibbler

By Arlen Posted on March 22, 2024 Posted in Conventions, Costuming 1 Comment

Okay, so my costumes are usually stupid, but this one also is both obscure and stupid! Karval Kon is a small (12 attendees this year) invite-only convention run by our friend Rose Beetem, that she has been holding for decades …

Back in the Real World

By Arlen Posted on October 7, 2021 Posted in Costuming 2 Comments

This last weekend was MileHiCon, and our friend Rose hounded us suggested politely that we should do costumes (she runs the costume contest). Since this was the first convention we’d been to IRL, we thought we ought to protect ourselves …

Grandson of Man

By Arlen Posted on February 27, 2018 Posted in Costuming 2 Comments

Octopus Prime

By Arlen Posted on November 2, 2017 Posted in Costuming 2 Comments

Let’s transform and go get some sushi… Yes, there seem to be almost no limits that we won’t go to for a bad pun. This was my costume at Mile-Hi Con 49 last weekend, where it won a judge’s choice …

Innocent Bystander

By Arlen Posted on April 6, 2016 Posted in Costuming No Comments

It was Karval Kon time again last weekend, so we had to do a costume. In this case, the costume is of an “innocent bystander” who has to have his face pixelated for his own protection and/or because he refuses …

Adipose Rex

By Arlen Posted on October 30, 2015 Posted in Costuming No Comments

It’s been a while, but we finally did a new costume! This is Adipose Rex, (very loosely) based on the Doctor Who episode Partners in Crime, where the Doctor and Donna are investigating a weight loss program where the “fat …
