A Contest for Sports Lovers

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 by tcg

I’m not a huge sports fanatic. In fact, I have no idea who Tony Parker is, but he’s cool in my book for this:

He and his wife Eva Longoria recreated Summer Lovin’ with their friends and a couple mascots. Please note the straight from the closet costumes and the delightfully cheesy wigs.

He encourages all of you to create your own homespun musical numbers for a chance to attend a Spurs game before the 2010 Playoffs. The deadline is January 31, so get filming! Good luck!

I guess you’ve figured out by now that I am a Mythbusters fan. I have stood in line to meet the build team and get their autographs. Grant’s autograph is one of my prized possessions. He was a little taken aback by my celebrity crush (He builds robots. How could I not have a crush on him?). But I digress! What was Adam’s costume?

Prince fans are getting into the Sing-Along spirit this Friday in Minneapolis. First Avenue is hosting a Purple Rain costume contest and movie sing-along. The event starts at 8 PM and is $3 at the door. Patrons are encouraged to dress as their favorite character from the iconic movie. Now’s your chance to wear the ruffled shirt you’ve been saving for a special occasion. Call your girlfriends and be confident as Apollonia 6. It sounds like it will be a fun evening.

I only wanted to see you under the purple rain…

Marvel Costume Talk

It’s only fair I mention some Marvel news every now and then since I so often talk about DC. On Friday, Marvel artists picked their favorite Wolverine costumes. In honor of the upcoming Wolverine movie, I thought I’d share the article with you. Did they like the blue and yellow, brown and yellow, or something else entirely? Here’s a rundown of Wolverine’s most well known costumes.

For those of you that think Logan’s look could still use some work, Project Rooftop has you covered. You have until May 15, 2009, to enter your version of Wolverine’s costume.

Costume Craze has updated their 2009 stock with new Wolverine gear. They have both bone and adamantium claws and more.

Batman 2.0 Results

Project Rooftop has announced the winners in the Batman 2.0 contest. A coupe of months ago they issued a challenge to artists to create the Batman suit Dick would wear if he won the battle for the cowl. There were hundreds of entries. I’m partial to the designs that are similar to Bat’s costume. I don’t think Dick would change much, if any of the look. Check out the winners.

Who are You?

I am a Doctor Who fan. It started when my dad and I used to curl up in the mamasan and watch Baker’s Who together. While there have been a few missteps in the reboot, generally I like it. If you’re a Who fan and a costume lover this news is for you!

BBC One is offering the chance for fans to be an alien. You must be 18 or older and probably in the UK. Make an alien costume, write up the backstory, and submit your picture to the contest. One winner will perform on the set of Who.

I’m Jealous!
