wow lotsa questions.
Ok for the modeling thing... this is such a little girl thing, but I always wanted to be famous... modeling, acting, singing.... but I was given the short stick on all three, I am only 5'2". can't carry a note to save my life, and everytime I try and act my eyes get all watery... so next best thing... would be making costumes... I guess.
A cool thing happened to me at Dragon Con though... I posted this in the Sideshow Forum... I went to see Adam Hughes booth in Artist Alley and he saw me and called me over and said that he had used my picture when I was dressed up as Slave Leia as refernce for a drawing he was doing, and he remembered me from Celebration 3 in my Asajj Ventress costume...
Just to let you guys know that I do collect statues and use them for reference for all my costumes that I own. Statues and busts and action figures I find are the best reference since they are already in a 3-D form, unlike drawings... which can be good sometimes.
THE WINGS... I designed the harness myself... I did not want the wings to fail at all while I was wearing them and they stood up to a huge crowd at a dance club, no feathers were lost and I took alot of hits from drunk girls barging their way through the club.
The top just fits right over top and there is a flap of yellow material that goes overtop of the back of the wings so it just looks like two separate wings jutting out from the back.
GI JOE costume - I actually thought of making a GI Joe costume, but not Baroness, I actually wanted to make the Jinx costume... (red ninja girl).
My next superhero costume I am thinking of building is Huntress. Its going to be a challenge.. I can already see that... :P
