Was able to get some Halloween makeup tonight. It looks like the black crayon can be used around the mouth, so I'll have some form of black lipstick after all. I looked for the genuine article, but couldn't find it. I wonder if you can only buy it in places that cater to the goth subculture.

I'm going to cut out some green diamond things from construction paper and put them on the golden cane. The Riddler has green buttons on the cane that he uses to remote-control stuff. And I guess if I want a mask, it will have to be construction paper. I couldn't find any simple solid color eye masks, just really fancy ones. And I don't have time to sew one, especially since there was no chance to go to Wal-Mart clear across town to get fabric.

I am kind of excited to finally be able to try this costume. I can't remember why I didn't do it six years ago.

Also, there's a yard in town (one of many) that really goes all-out for Halloween with big figures and such. One of them is Freddy Krueger and I just had to giggle to myself. I've never seen the Nightmare on Elm Street films and likely never will, but I like Robert Englund for a much different role. He voices the Riddler on The Batman, the version I'm playing.

........You know, I can't recall ever seeing black lipstick either. That's really weird. Glad you found an alternative, though!

I was about to say Walmart sometimes has them, but, well. >_> Sorry you couldn't find anything. Good luck getting the construction paper to behave! Easier than fabric, at least?

Haha, I used to think cosplaying as certain fictional characters was really weird, but now it's just like any other costume to me. I mean, I didn't think dressing up as Superman was weird, did I. Glad you're all caught up? :P

And hey, I didn't know that! Now I'll have to rewatch The Batman and see, LOL.

Thanks! Hopefully it will work well.

Easier than sewing, definitely. As long as it doesn't tear to the edge and break the string. Which it probably will somewhere along the way.

Yep, definitely just like any other costume! Lots of fun.

Yesss, rewatch The Batman! I'd love to have someone to gab with about it.

Yay for Halloween makeup! That's awesome that you were able to gather enough for a Riddler costume!

I expect I'm dressing up as female Two again... The kids like my recorder playing last year, so I think I'll stick with that.

Thanks!

Sounds good. I've definitely recycled certain costumes two or three times.
