And with the completion of this bright blue, superfast, spiney mammal, this year’s Halloween Costume Deal comes to a close.

This costume was a challenge for me, and it forced me to do things in new ways, while at the same time bringing back old skills I hadn’t used in years. It was a lot of fun though. A huge amount of fun. So much fun, I think I’m gonna have to do this again next year.

So start saving now.

Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Lara Croft

I’m not really a “drag guy,” but dude, for these outfits, I would be. Ever since a fellow on the costume forum I frequent show how awesome a drag Wonder Woman could be, the possibility has been on my mind. I’ve always like the black-and-gold Batgirl costume, and I’d dress as Lara Croft for every convention if I thought I could pull it off (I can be campy for Batgirl and Wonder Woman, but I feel for Lara I’d have to have some semblance of “passing,” for me to be happy with it). More than any of the other costumes on this list, these three are the least likely, mainly due to the tremendous amounts of body-shaping I’d have to do. Which is too bad. I’d make an awesome Wonder Woman.

Because no one should be imprisoned by a day of the week.
