Daniel asks…

Idea's to make these costumes?!?

Well. This year I can't afford a costume Sadly. But, I decided why not make one! So I have a few Idea's of what I want to be:

Gypsy
Queen of Hearts
Playing Card Girl (Queen of Hearts minion, Alice in Wonderland)
Fairy
Witch (Colorful, Orange green, purple, and Black)

Also, If you have any other idea's for what to be and how to make those would help.

Another thing, I am only 12 about to be 13 next month. So, nothing too revealing.

Thanks! :D
WOAH! Just thought of one!

Also, Perhaps a Nerd or a Band Nerd?!

andre1 answers:

(= I'm pretty sure you didn't think of the band nerd thing yourself. Some one had a question like that.
To make a band nerd costume you could get a thick blue coat, Sew some yellow yarn together to make it like where a tie would be. So it gives it that puffy look.
Then get some glasses, Tape them. Bring an instrument with you.
Easy.

andre1 answers:

I went as a pirate one year and that was really fun.. We decorated my face up and blacken my teeth.. I had the accessories to go with it.. Like the sword and a eye patch.. But, if you are going to be drinking.. Hahaha.. Take the eye patch off.. It was really hard to see.. So, I cut my night short after I got drunk..

Gypsie.. If you are really feeling that custome more.. Than I suggest you pick which ever one you can make the best out of your creation!!! Good luck.. Have fun

Joseph asks…

ok so i have my halloween costume. im a gypsy. and i want to put a mole on my face...?

how can i make it actually look like a mole? i tried eyeliner, but it just looks like a brown dot of eyeliner. :( how can i make it actually look real?

andre1 answers:

Have you tried liquid eyeliner? You'll get better results than with pencil liner. Good luck!

Laura asks…

Is this halloween costume lame? How can i improve it?

Is it okay for a blond teenager to have a gypsy Halloween costume? I don't know if it's too babyish or something.

If you think it's okay...

Here's what i have so far: a green knee length gypsy dress, short sleeves, neckline not too low cut: waist length gold necklace: gold cuff bracelet: haven't figured out what for shoes yet.
What can i do to add to it, or change it to make it better? What about shoes? What should i do with my hair?

If you don't...

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for all your input! :)

andre1 answers:

Sounds good to me.
To make it better, get a bandana and twist it to make it a headband for your hair. And make sure you have giant gold hoop earrings.

For your hair:
curl lots of random peices on your head with a small curling iron so about half of your hair is random ringlet curls. Leave the rest however it is naturally.

And for shoes, get some strappy oldstyle burkinstocks, or something that looks like them =]

Sandra asks…

I need help with a Halloween costume idea...?

Okay so i am 13 years old, and every year I've been something boring and unoriginal, from princesses to witches to devils.
This year i was going to be a gypsy but the costume turned out 2 sizes too big so i had to return it.

I really want to be a duck (since its my nickname and favorite animal), but they only sell toddler costumes or really messed up ones.

My friend is making me a duck mask, but i need help for the rest of the costume. Should i wear wings, if so how should they look, and what color leggings/shirt? Thanks, links are helpful.

andre1 answers:

Orange leggings yellow tutu yellow shirt and your mask:)

Robert asks…

How to act like a ?

For my final drama exam I have to be a fortune teller, but I have no idea how to act like one or talk like one. I have my costume, but other than that I'm not prepared. And it has to be over a minute. Any ideas?

andre1 answers:

1. Rent "The Wolfman" starring Lon Chaney Jr. And listen to Maria Ouspenskaya talk, especially when she recites that bit that goes "Even a man who is pure at heart, and says his prayers at night.."

2. Go to the link below on coldreading, described by magician/skeptic James Randi. It tells you how to fake being psychic.

George asks…

Where can I find cheap Renaissance costumes?

Where can I find cheap, but good Renaissance costumes? I know they are expensive, but anything that is cheaper. Or at least a semi cheap bodice. The clothes don't have to be all renaissance, but something medieval themed. They can be a peasant, gypsie or whatever outfit but I would prefer one that includes a nice dress (something like a princess outfit). This is for a renaissance fair... so something in that genre I would appreciate.

Or, do you have any ideas on how to build a cheap renaissance faire costume that is for a princess (nothing that shows the stomach because I heard you get made fun of if you dress like a witch or belly dancer or gypsy).

Thank you!

andre1 answers:

I have the same problem, heres how I fixed it.

1. THRIFT - For the last 2 years, I've been thrifting most of my costumes. I ask friends if they have fake corsets (they were popular in the 90s?) and I search old stores to see if they have anything. I've found something without fail.

2. Halloween Costume Stores - They sell really cheaply made stuff. But the good part is, some of their costumes have nice, fake velvet under/over dresses that can be used to make a nice-looking princess dress.

3. Dont be afraid to splurge - If you know you'll wear it for the next 4+ years, then spend the $200 on a really nice costume. Chances are, you'll be glad (like I was) because you'll wear it for years to come, and you can laugh at the people AT the faire spending $400 on the same thing.

Ebay is always a good one, I've also found great things at some of the websites listed.

-
Also, where did you hear people get made fun of if they dress like a Gypsy or Bellydancer? Im apart of the Bellydancing group that does the Faire in my City, and no one EVER gets made fun of. They get hit on a lot by the cute men, though. ;)

Maria asks…

How do you do costume makeup for a gypsy?

Ok, here's the deal. I went out and bought myself a gypsy costume, but I have no idea what kind of hair, makeup, and accessories a gypsy would wear. Please help me! Pictures, websites, tutorials, and videos would all be totally awesome!
By the way, the skirt is a rich, velvety blue with a dark pink sash that has gold coins sewn to the bottom. The top is a white off-the-shoulder peasant blouse. Finally, the look is completed with a thick, black, 'leather' belt with gold embelishments.

andre1 answers:

Smokey eyes, red lips.

Chris asks…

jewelry forum?

Hello,
I recently inherited A LOT of jewelry from my Grandmother and I'd like to sell a lot of it. The problem is, I have no idea what is of value and what isn't. I don't want to take it all to a jeweler to have it appraised because it will cost me an arm and a leg. Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks!!

andre1 answers:

Get out a magnifying glass and look for hallmarks and other marks that might tell you if an item is gold (10k, 14k, etc.) or silver (.925), etc.

For items you don't want try selling on EBay. Take some good pics of them and describe them carefully... There are lots of antique jewelry dealers that will give you fair prices at auction. You may be surprised at what you get.

The other pieces that are sentimental and you want to keep... Try looking for something similar listed on EBay and then you can get an idea of what/how much they might be.

It was sweet of your Grandmother to leave those items to you.
Good Luck!

Linda asks…

What's a good hairstyle fora dead gypsy?

So, as you know, Halloween is here(:
Well, last year I was a gypsy, and instead of wasting money on another costume, I decided I would just be dead this year!
I have a problem though..I need a hairstyle that would work.
I need some ideas. Pictures, and links to videos would be a big help, just so I can see before I try.
If you must know, I have naturally straight blonde hair, and the length is even with my underarms.

The gypsy costume...http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.halloweenplayground.com/images/legavenue/gpysy-princess-costume.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.halloweenplayground.com/gypsy-princess-costume-pi-6043.html&usg=__8VNSSW7I5m4uoVbyvgQDf_LEdJc=&h=432&w=432&sz=48&hl=en&start=16&sig2=_S5XQMpoOajtj0MEafqj3Q&zoom=1&tbnid=aJuyA8PdMuIqpM:&tbnh=138&tbnw=138&ei=cgbNTJeTAoep8AbR_cTnBw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgypsy%2Bcostume%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D590%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C334&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=671&vpy=266&dur=1301&hovh=167&hovw=167&tx=111&ty=76&oei=awbNTKLeFIS0lQfGvbCtBw&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:16&biw=1280&bih=590

tease your hair till its all frizzy and fluffy, then spray gray/white hairspray all over it till its a dusty colour!!!!!!
Http://lovemylacewigs.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/big-frizzy-hair_full.jpg?w=250&h=243
(ok lol maybe not as crazy as the pic above)

tear roughly bits off your head scarf, and splatter red paint on it to look like blood.

GOOD LUCK and happy halloweeeeeen!

Paul asks…

Help with what top to wear for a !!!?

I'm going to a renaissance faire tomorrow morning and while I'm going to look for my old white peasant top tomorrow morning, I need to know what I should wear instead if I can't find it. The only loose type of top I have is a grey, plain, very loose short sleeved shirt. Other than that, all I have is t-shirts or tank tops.......

andre1 answers:

Anything loose velvet or tie die could work
pair it with a maxi skirt
gypsys generally have loose flowing clothing perhaps you could wear a long cardigan with a suitable top?

Nancy asks…

What do you call that white gypsy shirt that puffs out?

Okay so Halloween is just a few months away, but before everything goes out of stock I'm putting together a costume. I'm gonna be a gypsy this year and I figured that I should start looking for parts. I started to do a search on stuff that I might need when I realized IDK what you call the white shirt that puffs out. Sometimes you wear a vest with it, sometimes a jacket. Helpppppppp please :)

andre1 answers:

You could refer to it as a peasant top or pirate shirt. Those would be your best bet, Both would produce the same result as a gypsy shirt as they are all the same thing but have different names due to their application.
