The Winner is…
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008 by tcg
The polls are closed…for this round.
With 46%, Kitty Pryde won the most votes. More than 50 of you participated, thank you. Jem was closing in on her over the weekend, but Kitty’s support never wavered. Sadly, Lisa Hayes and Carrie Kelly weren’t as loved. It’s likely that at some time or another I will make all of these costumes. Don’t be sad if your choice didn’t win.
I will make Kitty’s Astonishing X Men uniform. The picture above isn’t quite right. The boots will be black not yellow. There is a high black collar instead of no collar. The shoulders aren’t as pronounced. Finally, the belt is yellow not red. See below. I’ve made an album of Kitty and Lockheed pictures in my gallery for reference.
Kitty will join the other costumes slated for D*C. Watch the blog for updates on construction and progress photographs. This will be my first time sewing stretchy material and I’m nervous as all get out. My sewing machine is one of those cheapo models for hemming and curtains. I don’t know how it will handle the more delicate fabric. Yes, it does have a zigzag stitch. I’ll look at patterns and already made suits to get started. Now, if only I can master this phasing thing…Wish me luck!

You can’t wait to see it? I can’t wait to see it. Kitty has long been a favorite of mine (Thank you, Excalibur) and having my girl in that costume will be fantasy fulfillment of the highes…Okay…I’m just going to go cool off for a bit before I embarrass myself further. Then again…I am trying to wear a Waffler costume at D*C. Embarrassment is my middle name!

Also…Wolverine’s afraid of her. When Kitty asks Logan if he wants to spar with her in Astonishing, his answer is “Naw…don’t feel like bleedin’ today.”
That’s badass!!!
