Parliament Costuming

swan_towerNeed clothes? Shoes? Makeup? Accessories? If you're in search of items to help you create your costume for the Parliament of the Apocalypse, leave a comment here. If you can fill such a request, or just want to broadcast that you have neat items somebody might find useful, also leave a comment. This seems the best way I can figure out for people to network about sharing costume items, without spamming the list.
(If the above paragraph confused you completely, then you're not in the Parliament game, and need not worry.)
Non-LJ users can comment as well; just hit "reply to this post" or "post a new comment," type in what you need, and it will post anonymously. Just be sure to put your name in the comment, too, so we know who you are.

Then basically you belt it low on your waist, or under your breasts, or you try the thing where you cross two belt/straps from your shoulders between your breasts. And then you wrap a long non-fringed shawl around yourself as a himation.
The main thing I'd recommend for you, to make your costume interesting (chiton and himation being Pretty Damn Simple), would be to buy or borrow a wig of long, dark hair, and then braid it up into a crown with slender braids coming down over your shoulders.

Does anyone have a nice long dark wig that I could borrow?
Does anyone know how to braid hair and feel they could help me borrow said wig (should I be loaned one)?
danke

Date: 2006-01-12 06:20 pm (UTC)And I'd recommend black cake instead of greasepaint, since it rubs off on other stuff less. I think I lent mine to somebody, so if that somebody is reading this comment, please let me know that you have it.
since a couple folks already pointed you to k8
Date: 2006-01-12 07:09 pm (UTC)Another option for how to cover your arms and legs is to use black panty-hose, maybe doubling up to reduce the greying effect that comes when you put them on.

Date: 2006-01-12 09:30 pm (UTC)and instead of black body paint, use tights. seriously. paint your face and such, but wear tights on your arms and legs--it saved me *so* much time and effort.
(and one thing i fergot to do but would look badass--eat/drink some red koolaid just before game to give yourself that red tongue look.)
if you need any help with costuming...um...i've been there. (; i think i have the bones i used for my belt/sash/waist thing, somewhere.

Date: 2006-01-27 02:24 pm (UTC)I might be putting some bobby pins into this wig's hair to style it into some kind of an up-do, if I can. But if the lender is not happy with that idea, or if I find I'm incapable of styling the wig, I'll leave it alone and use it as is.
