Opera Twilek - Koyi Mateil - NEW!

Update! Feb 17, 2008 - I Wore this costume to Farpoint 2008 and Placed in 3 Categories for Masquerade!
*Best Beading
*3rd Place Sci-Fi (you try beating a cute kid and Robot Chicken Vader lol)
*Best Recreation

May 31, 2007 - Wore this to Celebration 4 in Los Angeles and LOVED it! Even though I didn't win the costume contest it was still a lot of fun being on stage and showing off my work :-D
May 06, 2007 - More Beading, LOTS of beading. I also bought shoes to go with the dress :-)
April 29, 2007 - I started the beading! It's going faster than I expecting and I hope to have it done soon :-D
April 28, 2007 - I did a makeup trial on my arm to see how the colors look :-D They photograph a little orangey, but in real life it looks like the movie color.
January 12, 2007 - I tried the Ben Nye Color Foundation in Tan #2 (PC11), the texture and weight of the foundation is great, the color is not. When I have a free day I'm going to try more colors to see what I like best.
June 26, 2006 - The Lekku have arrived! OMG they are soooooooooo gorgeous!
Research started in March 2006!

Hey, I should be receiving my own "Pam Lekku" in a month. I know Pam has a strap that connects to the lekku and goes under the chin/jaw to keep it on her head. Does your headband keep it on pretty good on its own or do you have it attached another way? Seeing as I don't have mine just yet, I don't know how well it'll fit on my noggin, but I'm trying to figure out ideas to make it stick. I'd really prefer a way that makes it look more natural and real, without noticeable straps all around. Anyways, wicked costume and I look forward to joining the Twi'leks myself. :)

40	41	42 Getting there - slowly but surely. I had to adjust the bodice to my proportions since the actress playing Koyi has a torso and I don't lol. This only affected the final design slightly.
43 Not fully done tooling the leather yet, but it's great so far :D	44 I'll have to figure something out for my ears, the headpiece (not the lekku) press them in hard and they hurt after a bit.	45 Laces in the back to hold the headband on. I didn't want to perma attach it since I wanted to treat the Lekku like they were my real body. Who would glue a headband onto their head in real life? The final laces will be silver satin.
