And where can I get an outfit like that?
You sew the corset yourself, with much cursing and bleeding, because you and your boyfriend are going to cosplay as Alucard and the Succubus from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and by goddess, this time you're going to have an accurate costume!
The wig you order from a random ebay guy, then style it yourself. The shoes you hunt for for months and finally find them in a secondhand clothing shop in Seattle, the tights you get from Hot Topic, and the gloves you also search for for months, and finally go to a Display and Costume, which is apparently the ONLY place in Seattle that has the damn things! The wings you also got at a Display and Costume, but they were just black, so you tape them off and spray-paint them to get the red gradient. Oh, and then you stick a couple of socks down your front to make it look like you have more cleavage than you do, but it doesn't entirely work.
Yeah. I'm a cosplay dork.

Even better, Chillas, if you can afford it you have someone like this make the corset for you.
Honestly, they aren't that expensive and she does exquisite work (I have two of her corsets myself).

Ok...my vote is tied between Nonny & Snoozn
Nonny: I can't believe you have those dolls & that poor frog seems to be enjoying itself!
Snoozn...The picture you happen to be looking @ just made the entry interesting!
Edited b/c I put wrong name & I saw wrong as far as # of votes...I don't know WHO my final vote goes to

Time! Wow, great entries. I had a feeling there wouldn't be any virtues depicted.
It was a close vote, but the winner is snoozn by one. Good work, everyone and congratulations, snoozn (and special props for putting Big Blue in the shot)!
Apologies again for the delay in calling time and the incomplete post. That's what having someone over for The Stuff will do to you.

In "Washington (The State)", apparently - although this one seems to be taken. But judging from her post above, you should try hanging out at cosplay parties...

Congratulations, snoozn! It was a close race. Very suspenseful, I must say.
In the interests of not wasting a great picture (since having an analog camera meant I had to have something ready in case I won), here's the opening shot for the challenge that would have been titled They're No Angels!
Looking forward to snoozn's challenge!

Thank you! I think I'm going to include a background pic of Aimee in all my future entries. Good challenge idea Nonny--I didn't think about the pressure of winning and having to come up with one!
