Gizmo in WeHo
This Halloween I designed my own Gizmo costume based on Rambo style in Gremlins 2. I literally thought, what am I going to be for Halloween, then looked around my room and saw the singing Gizmo doll my brother bought for me. I used the same basic pattern as my Yoshi costume, except I wanted to make this year's more of a dress form. It was, however, more difficult to construct because I needed to make all different parts of the fur into different shapes and pieces, as well as have the hood break into three separate panels. I was worried mostly about getting the ears to stick and stay out, but that was all solved with stiff fabric spray (amazing)!

I wanted to have the full Rambo Gizmo attire, but I knew I'd be walking around and didn't feel like carrying a bow everywhere, so instead I just got a giant pencil from the dollar store and fastened it onto a crochet rope. In the end, some quick in-seaming of the bottom sides of my costume completely shortened my costume to show off butt-cleavage, but after a few drinks, I gave into the Halloween-is-the-only-day-it's-OK-to-look-slutty appeal. Plus some cropping makes it all better!
