Gah. I realize that I haven't given much thought to Halloween this year. Brainstorming has been disappointingly fruitless. I've toyed with the idea of going as Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," but seeing as I only have a week left in Dallas to use mom's sewing machine, I'm thinking that idea's out the window.

Then I thought of Illyria, from Angel, but I think I want someone more recognizable. And if I did do Illyria, it would be her outfit from the first half of "Shells," when she's still wearing Fred's clothes, as I wouldn't feel comfortable walking around in public in her normal attire, especially after all the stares I got wearing the breastplate for my Angua costume, and given the pathetically small number of students that actually dress up. Still, not sure if I want to go blue two years in a row. :D

A few months ago, M and my roomies mentioned the idea of dressing up as various HP characters, but I can't help feeling that's been done to death.

So what other fandoms can I plunder? There's always Firefly, and I spent quite a large chunk of yesterday evening working on a Blue Sun shirt, but like Illyria, I don't think the characters would be recognizable enough. I know that shouldn't bother me, as I've maybe had two recognizable costumes from first grade to my senior year, but I was spoiled by the attention I got dressing up as Nightcrawler last year, so bah.

Woah, speaking of! Buffy.nu has the Serenity teaser trailer available for download here! The quality is abysmal, but hey, what can you do? Except frowl over the lack of Simonage in the trailer, of course. Most vexing.

Hmm... what other fandoms are there to be mined? ::sigh:: life is so hard.
