Me - Skeksis 1999 |
Halloween has always been my favorite time of year. I prefer
home made costumes over store bought ones. Making the costume is almost
as fun as showing it off. This Skeksis costume is one that I'm most proud
of. I had tons of pics that I took with my old video camera, but it looks
like they didn't make it in one of the many hard drive upgrades over the
years. Looking back, there are a lot of improvements I could make, but over
all it's one of the best. The other years all suffer from over ambition.
I tried so hard to top the Skeksis, that I never finish the project, and
have to come up with a last minute substitute. My
dragon costume is the main reason for all of the failure. I work on
it every year, starting from scratch, and never finishing. |

Halloween 2001 - I spent months working on my Dragon Costume, but never got close to finishing it, so I went with the last minute "Silver Death" costume. Everyone else was pretty last minute as well. Since we weren't busy showing off, we had plenty of time to take pictures =) | Gabe - Drunk Broad? 2001 |
