Black Spiderman: The Costume
by Cookster on Apr.28, 2010, under Costumes
Anyone who does crafts that require the use of superglue knows that they will eventually glue their fingers together. Spiderman wranglers are no exception. Of course I am not officially a wrangler, but at the moment I have been made in charge of gluing the “hard to reach” webs on my son Todd’s costume. Luckily we were prepared with acetone for me to place adhesive where it shouldn’t belong.
Is my costume ready yet?

Wow! It has been awhile since I wrote a post on this blog. I really have no excuse other than I have just been busy with other things. This year I took a break during my regular sewing binge to visit Disneyland during Halloween time. I did manage to get some costuming in during this period, though. 

The gang at GameStop

Batman and his buds made another appearance at GameStop last night for the unveiling of the new game Arkham Asylum. The turnout was rather small compared to the Ghostbuster game party in June, but lots of fun was had by all.
Here are some of the attendees.






Ghostbusters’ 25th anniversary!

June was a busy month for Ghostbusters’ fans. The Ghostbusters’ franchise celebrated the 25th anniversary of the movie with the release on June 16th of Ghostbusters on Blu-ray disc.
A highly anticipated video game with the original cast of Ghostbusters and realistic animation was also released the same day. 
June also heralded the 20th anniversary of Ghostbusters II. Now the fans are just waiting for Ghostbusters III to be made and they will be in Stay Puft marshmellow heaven!
The Arizona Ghostbusters did their part at the nearest Game Stop to help collect donations for the Salvation Army and promote the release of the video game. A blow-up movie screen was on hand to view the film as the Salvation Army painted kid’s faces, provided popcorn, and “pet slimers” for a dollar. (continue reading…)
Ah Yes! It’s Halloween again!
by Cookster on May.03, 2009, under Costumes
Ugly witches, bed-sheeted ghosts, and ghoulish zombies are on the prowl again. There is a chill in the air and…wait a minute, wasn’t it in the low nineties today approaching 100 degrees by this coming weekend? It’s not Halloween? Oh! I know! There are lords and ladies, gypsies and pirates swinging swords and turkey legs. The Renaissance Festival is commencing! But of course… now that I think of it… Ren faire just ended about a month ago. Let’s see…the stormtroopers are out in force along with the X-men and Ghostbusters. It must be Comicon! No…hmmm…we already did that… or, are we going to do that? Now I know I saw Batman, Catwoman, Scarecrow, and the Joker. I guess that means it could only be one thing…
