Heather: When we saw Wreck-It Ralph in theaters we absolutely fell in love with the short, Paperman, that showed before the movie (we loved WIR too, naturally). We had talked about making Paperman costumes a bit but put it on the backburner until 2013 when WIR was released on Blu-Ray/DVD and we fell in love with both the short and the movie once more. There happened to be a cozy convention we were headed to in Maryland and thought this might be the perfect time to put these costumes together! We went with bits and pieces we had as well as parts from a trip to the thrift store. Heather brought a stack of ready-to-recycle paper home from work and our friend Denis helped attach the paper airplanes to Nate's coat on the way to the con! For last minute costumes we were extremely excited with how they turned out and would like to wear them again in the future!

Ken & Barbie - Toy Story 3

“Love your legwarmers!” “Nice ascot!” Characters: Ken & Barbie
From: Toy Story 3 Debuted: Halloween 2010 Also Worn At: Katsucon 2011 Status: Active |

Heather: We're both huge fans of Disney/Pixar movies and when we went to see Toy Story 3 we ended up cackling way too loud at the parts with Barbie and Ken. They were just written and animated so perfectly. We had talked about making these costumes for Dragon*Con that year but it was sort of just a joke (plus there was no time!). After we got back though, we realized we needed a Halloween costume and this came up again! We wore a blog piece detailing the process of making these costumes since we get a lot of questions around Halloween - you can check out said post here! Overall, these are a lot of fun to wear despite the fact that Barbie's shoes are pretty painful and that wig + hiding all Heather's hair under it = headache. We're looking for an opportunity to wear it again!
NOTE: We're selling these costumes! For more info on them and how to buy one, check our shop!

Prince Eric & Ariel - The Little Mermaid

"You know, I feel really bad not knowing your name. Maybe I can guess. Is it, uh... Mildred?” Characters: Eric & Ariel

Heather: This was sort of a last minute thing before Dragon*Con 2011. Friends of ours were doing a Disney Princess group and they didn't have an Ariel! She's one of Heather's favorites and while we knew there would be no getting a crazy princess dress or a fin done in time, Ariel DID have the torn sail outfit when she gets here legs. And bingo! Nate used his shirt from his Guybrush Threepwood costume and a belt was thrown together -- there was also getting pants from a thrift store, cutting them and adding a cuff -- and suddenly Eric too! Too bad Nate's wig (which was Heather's L wig and didn't fit his head) kept coming off, hehe. He finally gave up after awhile and went with his own hair.
