We were a family that made our Halloween costumes. Or, more accurately, my mother made them. She took no suggestions or advice. Halloween costumes were her territory. She was the brain behind my brother's winning girl costume, stuffing her own bra with newspapers for him to wear under a cashmere sweater and smearing red lipstick on his lips.
There was never a time when I wasn't making guitars out of cardboard or dressing up like the Misfits.
In the 'Doki Doki Morning' video, there were lots of parts where we weren't dancing. It was just, you know, our faces. But fans thought up their own movements and dances for those parts, and they made lots of outfits, too.
It seems to me that Halloween is the perfect time to get all over steampunk.
Me and my girlfriend make all my costumes here ourselves at home.
When I was a kid, I would make these incredibly bloody movies in my back yard. I was constantly making weird blood concoctions; Jell-O and milk was a good one. I was constantly ruining clothes and staining my parents' walls and stuff.
When my kids were in the school play for the first time, I decided I had to make the costumes from scratch and bought material, wadding, dyed T-shirts, and purple tights so I could say I made the octopus costume myself.
