thehefner: (Two-Face and Typhoid Mary)

[livejournal.com profile] dhairya and me. As Two-Face and Typhoid Mary. Noir style.







The suit wasn't my original plan, mind you. I just wanted a pinstripe suit generally, but to just use the pants for this costume. But the whole suit, plus the red tie/pocket square just matched the black, white, and red theme beautifully.

Now, see, the original costume I had in mind was this:



"Tennessee Williams in Gotham on a hot summer night." Oh yeah.



Big ol' thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kmousie for her photoshop touch-up skillz!

Great work, though! Awesome work, [livejournal.com profile] dhairya! It was great to finally see you in action; better than I could have imagined it! We finally did it! Woo! *collapse*

Now, let's see how dedicated I will be at the gym without a deadline. I'm not certain I'm ever going to go back to my egg whites regimen. Not so much because they're gross, but as Carolyn prophesied, they gave me the farts bad Fit people are smelly.

Slick!
I love the matching pinstripes. Very designer. And that veily-hat-thing? So awesome.

Pinstripes are often, if not always, a good idea.

Yeah, that hat was totally her stroke of designer genius. She's much more experienced at this than I.

WOW.
Okay, I have to know how you pulled that makeup off. It looks really wonderful.

1.) Eyeliner and purple bruise makeup under my eye.

2.) I applied this piece.

3.) Then, I smeared this around the edges, and then covered the entire thing with gooey blood gel.

I still wish I could have used a special FX contact lens (dangerous and foolish as that would be), as well have figured out some way to fake exposed teeth. But I'm still pleased.

Please tell me she used that double-sided fashion tape. Or some sort of equivalent.

[livejournal.com profile] kmousie was good enough to photoshop the image, as the original one showed the boob tape rather clearly.

Dude, that stuff is slathered on my face, and dried rock-hard. It was so damn hard to emote, it's amazing I was able to look as evil as I did!

But really, if I ever did go evil... do you honestly believe that mere smashing would stop me?

That was what we were going for, yes. *grins*

Wow, just wow [jaw picked up of floor] Definitely FTW.

The application was perfect! I love the suit but something about your original idea seems so balls out.

Date: 2007-11-02 05:00 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thehefner.livejournal.com
I certainly hope it's FTW, as the photos were taken for a costume contest! Thankya! After months of stressing over how the final result will look, I'm very glad to get that reaction.

Yeah, the original idea has a sorta bondage S&M Noir thing going for it, very much in keeping with the relationship of the characters (as I envision such an unholy union, were it to ever happen). Thus was why I hit the gym and had been sucking down egg whites, you understand.

You guys look awesome! I am particularly impressed by the make-up.

Thankya! It's for Project Rooftop especially. Did I misread, or are you entering as well?

From: [identity profile] skalja.livejournal.com
Yes I am! Also as a team entry, of a different sort - my friend's cat is ginger, so one day I looked at her and realized, "It's Streaky the Supercat!" We went Max Fleischer style.

Best of luck, Hef, I hope you do really well! :)

Date: 2007-11-03 03:23 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thehefner.livejournal.com
Ha! Awesome! I can't even imagine Fleischer-style Streaky, but I imagine I'll see for myself!

Ditto, and good luck!

Well, I just stuck a simplified Fleischer logo on one side of her cape and a lightning bolt on the other, nothing too outrageous. She was miffed enough about the costume as is ;).

From: [identity profile] thehefner.livejournal.com
Is it just her, or you too? As Supergirl, presumably?

Pets and costumes. A dubious combination under the best of circumstances.

Date: 2007-11-03 04:19 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] skalja.livejournal.com
Yep, as Supergirl. Which is kind of a hilarious combination, but hey. Redesign.

Neato. I look forward to it! If only because I like to see the faces of LJ peeps, know they're actually real people.

You did a great job, Hef.
And yes, I dare say MY smashing would do the job.
6'7".
300 lbs., more of it muscle than ever.
WASP upbringing.
While I pride myself on being a mildly erudite type, as well as a decent negotiator, there's always the Rooseveltian Big Stick as an option.

Well, that makes two of my LJ friends who are bigger in real life than I'd have expected.

Oh yeah, well I... have... uh... pale skin and a big Irish head? Aw nuts. Stupid genetics. I hate you, Mom and Dad!

I am now imaginging you as Brendan Gleeson in GANGS OF NEW YORK with your mighty club. This is a compliment, mind you.

If I was ever Brendan Gleeson, life would be good.
The guy's a goddamned classic.
My dad was 6'1".
My mom is 5'4".
[livejournal.com profile] julesbourglay claims that there was some kind of gamma bomb test in our shared hometown...
And yes, Joe Fixit is one of my favorite characters.
So is Strong Guy.
