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!

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!

One More Prize

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 by tcg

Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like there is still one prize to announce for the Halloween Costume Contest. Costume Craze loved all the costumes and wanted to participate in the fun. A group of employees looked through all the pictures and finally decided on the costumes they liked best. There was an intense discussion.

Costume Craze selected the DC Trio as their favorite entry. They gave the Super Heroes a $25 Gift Certificate. Congratulations Batman, Robin, and of course Wonder Woman! I didn’t know they were going to make such a generous offer. Thank you.

On a more personal note, I need to apologize to Action Ranger Timmy. I was unclear when I said, “This costume may be constructed of mostly purchased pieces…” I in no way meant to imply that a purchased costume was somehow inferior to a handmade costume. I meant that a person wishing to duplicate his very awesome look could do so with an Elvis costume or make a jumpsuit themselves. It was very bad wording. Reading it now, I see that my intent does not come across. Dino Elvis, was from the moment I saw it, one of my favorite costumes. It made me laugh. I want a Dino Elvis costume for myself. I’m sorry Timmy.

The Butler Did It

Friday, October 10th, 2008 by tcg

I entered the Evil League of Evil villain contest. I had a long list of evil identities but only had time to develop one movie. I opted for ‘The Butler.’

Catchy, huh?


The Butler : Evil League of Evil Application from ThatWeirdGirl on Vimeo

I wrote and directed the short. ManWithPez is the script doctor and star. There are three costumes in the finished movie: Butler, Socialite, and Detective. We went with the iconic look for all of the roles. The Butler is clad in a classic evening tuxedo with a white bow tie and white gloves. His costume inspiration was Godfrey. Originally cast and shot was a young man playing spoiled trust fund baby. He wore designer trashed jeans and a smug look. The young socialite replacement has on a short cocktail dress with rhinestone accents. The Detective was based on everyone’s favorite redheaded investigator Dana Scully. A trim black suit with a pop of color and a conservative hairstyle.

It was a lot of fun and a lot of work. I’ve never done anything like this and still have a lot to learn on the subject.

I hope you enjoyed the short. Go out and search for other applications. I particularly like The Embezzler, Tur-Mohel, and Vagabond.
