I work at a factory and have to wear safety clothing so I can never do that sort of thing, I walked round town dressed as a witch last night tho, should have got some photo's but Alas, I forgot
Legolas I can sort of see, but I'm not sure about Jedi LOLredhandfilms wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 8:01 pm One person asked if I was a Jedi and another called me Legolas...
I relate to this feeling, but maybe she will go away and watch some movies, you never knowredhandfilms wrote: ↑Wed Nov 02, 2022 4:27 pm She replied, "Oh, well I've never seen any of THOSE films of Star Wars or anything."
My polite response was "Well, you're missing out." when what I really wanted to say was "Please go away. We're never going to be friends and really don't need to ever talk outside of things directly related to work."

A lot of people can't understand dress the idea of a costume being from something without being a specific character. They corrected to Aragorn. Close enough, they don't need the real explanation.
As for the Jedi, I said I was a Middle Earth Ranger. "What's that from?"
"Lord of the Rings"

Man, you need to come work at a museum. I showed up with my cloak and hood for a rainy day and now every single one of my coworkers wants one!redhandfilms wrote: ↑Wed Nov 02, 2022 4:27 pm Legolas...

Did you beat the wretched urchin? Eofor would have!Manveruon wrote: ↑Wed Nov 02, 2022 8:23 pm It’s funny you should mention this, because the last time I was out and about with folks in full kit (when we did the visit to the Breckenridge Troll, incidentally), there was a kid in the parking lot incessantly yelling, “Look! Star Wars! Star Wars! Look! People dressed as Star Wars!”
I personally always mix the old and the new. It's not so much that I want to adopt the new to a LOTR character or age, as it is I want to adapt the old technology to the modern times. Much of the old ways is simpler and frankly just better.redhandfilms wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 12:16 am This may be a bit too modern. Haha.
My cloak and leather wrap gauntlets go great with modern hunting gear. Not just worn for a picture. I’ve been hunting all afternoon in this and will again tomorrow morning.
