Sadly enough, i did (although a little more vaguely...) -that's what you get for having an nerdy 8yo Angler fish fan as a son. I made the costume and he took the mini paper prototype and attempted to simulate mating with the costume, stating that the big costume was the wife to the mini prototype because the females grow old and get much much bigger.......

Monster, I am jealous of your creativity!! Those costumes are so cool. What is the body of the anglerfish made of though? I can't for the life of me figure it out.

As for their mating scheme, I did not know that and now wish I was still ignorant. Thanks for that Halloween trick, jinx. :greenface

Sure :lol:


The angler costume is made from thin foam -you can buy squares of similar stuff at craft stores for about 30c each, but at the Scrap Box, they sell end of roll stuff from some manufacturing process or other. They also have a cool pattern to make knights helmets, and I adapted the top of the helmet design for the arse of the fish. It's one piece of foam, apart from the teeth. they are stuck on with duct tape. they eyes are a plastic easter egg.

ZenGum 10-31-2007 09:24 AM

Monster that is bloody good! Just wondering, does it have an internal frame of wire or such, or is the foam sturdy enough on its own?
I salute your spelling of "arse", and your use of duct tape. Bless it.

Cicero 10-31-2007 10:57 AM

Happy Hallow-weeny Everybody!!! I am continuing the thread until I get through the days of the dead....I want Halloween photos everybody!!! Stat!

Monster - I'm just happy when you post pics of your kids - they ae the children I wanted to be when I was growing up! (shame they'll sound like septics though ;)) Fantastic costumes! I'd love a US version of Halloween too - few and far between are the occasions where it's not suspect to take fancy dress (costume? Whatever the translation is) in Britain. I have my next one sorted - just need the party. Am going to be a girl from the make-up counter in Boots. You can get a white coat quite cheaply. Then I just put on orange foundation and tarantula lashes etc.

Cicero - don't sell yourself short! Blimey, those masks are fantastic. And I know *a little* about Day of the Dead from when my ex and I were planning a trip to Mexico. I bought a couple of weighty guidebooks which outlived the relationship...

Razz - you cutie!

DanaC 10-31-2007 06:04 PM

Oh hey Razz! Y'know in the pic on the right you look like the cheerleader in Heroes.

Shawnee123 11-01-2007 09:30 AM

Razz, you're way cute! :)

Razzmatazz13 11-01-2007 11:43 AM

Aw shucks guys *blush* thanks :blush:

Cheerleader from heroes? After extensive googling I have to say
Pfwaahahahaahahahahahaahahahaahahahahaah

I wish :rolleyes:

monster 11-01-2007 07:54 PM

Zen -no internal support. It'd have blown away if I hadn't attached a hat and elastic straps for the arms inside, and frequently blew inside out! (twas very windy) The foam is about 2mm thick and suprisingly sturdy yet light. Son liked this costume best of all so far -no complex frame/support makes it easier and more comfortable to wear.

Cicero 11-02-2007 11:57 AM

Happy All Souls Day!!!

Don't forget to respect the dead! Light a candle, say a prayer, or whatever! Dance around....

Yes...there will be photos. Cicero is a FREAK! Aaaaw yea....

bluecuracao 11-02-2007 03:08 PM

Sí, Felíz Dia de los Muertos!

Cicero, don't you live in Santa Fe? I would certainly hope you'd have some good holiday photos...

Anglerfishes of the suborder Ceratioidea employ an unusual mating method. ...
At birth, male ceratioids are already equipped with extremely well developed olfactory organs that detect scents in the water. When he is mature, the male's digestive system degenerates, making him incapable of feeding independently, which necessitates his quickly finding a female anglerfish or else dying. The sensitive olfactory organs help the male to detect the pheromones that signal the proximity of a female anglerfish. When he finds a female, he bites into her skin, and releases an enzyme that digests the skin of his mouth and her body, fusing the pair down to the blood-vessel level. The male then atrophies into nothing more than a pair of gonads, which release sperm in response to hormones in the female's bloodstream indicating egg release. This extreme sexual dimorphism ensures that, when the female is ready to spawn, she has a mate immediately available.[2]
Eventually she completely absorbs him.

In fact, I care enough to insulate us from each other with my choice to place him on my ignore list. what's the point of reading stuffs that has lately only made me too angry with him to reason with him? no point. so I put a buffer between us. my choice.

I do care. that's why i made my remark.

there are two things going on here.

my current frustration with rk's posts.

and

my concern for him about the little bit that leaked through my walls. it wasn't backhanded at all. straight up. direct. not mean.

Yeah:

I think it looks very nice and welcoming. :)

Cicero 11-06-2007 06:07 PM

It was supposed to there blue. Thanks! But I just realized a couple of people there (in the photos) didn't get along. That is just like me...to throw a party and forget that people are enemies.

Buzz-kill
;)

bluecuracao 11-07-2007 01:47 AM

Well, they're supposed to be visiting you, not each other. So, I wouldn't worry.

But I just realized...I don't see any tequila or munchies there. What the hell kind of party were you throwing? :cool:

Cicero 11-07-2007 01:20 PM

Water......They got the water on your left. I did that on purpose.....they had already had too much...

Thanks for noticeing that though...(good eye, blue)
