Everybody wants to fly.
This weekend I finally started in on the jet-wings costume I've been planning for SFCOntario 3 (also Hallowe'en, even though these days that's usually just hanging out in our building's lobby long enough to take a few pictures).
The extendable wings are pretty much done and harnessed -- now I just need to figure out how to attach the jets (painted juice-bottles).
One can do a lot with gold paint thinly brushed over a coat of black.
I think I might also get some off-white fabric and attach little sails between the "metal" pinions. My aviatrix outfit is good to go, except I think, having tried it one, that full-length khakis would look better than shorts over tights. Pix later. Meanwhile, drinking coffee with a shot of Kraken spiced rum. Yum ("nom" is reserved for solids).
ETA - while taking out the recycling, I found a value-size laundry-detergent bottle with two nozzles. This is perfect for a jet-pack - either incorporated into the costume, or for someone's kid.
