Costume Design By Gus Back to the Halloween Page                                                    This is my original Design as it                         This is the finished costume          This is Denise wearing looks drawn on paper. Creating                        worn first by Selena Johnson         the costume without the it in real life is another story !                             on Halloween night 1997                wig. Halloween 1998 The girls wearing the costume are fully covered from "neck to toe" by a fully painted body suit. The boots are actually shoes that have been covered with fake fur and strapped on with a 'skull' belt. A floor length cape (hard to see because it's black) is outlined with the same fake fur. Gauntlets (arm bands) are made from fake fur and leather boot lacing. The BOOBS are an illusion and are part of the artistry designed by me and painted by Link Art Works. The waist band (bottoms) is a Halloween Flag decoration cut out and attached to a ladies bikini bottom and worn over the body suit. Selena is wearing the mid back length Fire Red wig to complete the look. The weapons and "head"  were purchased and later painted and modified to match the costume and complement the wearer. This original design was developed and constructed all from scratch. Selena (as the design model) endured many hours of trial and error as well as the usual headache when dealing with me on a Halloween project. Thanks in part to Selena this costume has won over One Thousand Dollars in prize money since it was first worn in 1997. This costume took 6 weeks to build.
