Is spending so much time on costumes and cosplay?

FUCK NO! I just wanted your attention!

Well, Gencon is fucking close.... And i FINALLY got one can of black plasti-dip for My Gene Simmons DYNASTY costume... I need 2, But it hasn't arrived yet, and my Dad's been busting his ass getting them for me. I Originally ordered 2 cans over 6 weeks ago, At least I've got some stuff coated.

My Dynasty Gear is looking pretty damn awesome, the pieces that are plasti-dipped anyway, which are the boots, Shoulders and Biceps. Those pieces are fully painted, and look pretty impressive. I still need to plasti-dip and paint the torso, back and biceps, and probably the cod piece too, and then apply the sole to the boots, but its pretty close to fruition.

KISS Released pics of their new SONIC BOOM costumes, First original KISS costume designs since 1982. They're good and bad at the same time, with inspiration drawn from their classic costumes, mainly the Hotter Than Hell (1974), Destroyer (1976) and Love Gun(1977) designs. I've decided to postpone my Tommy Thayer "Rock The Nation" Costume until the new year, and work on Tommy's Sonic Boom Costume after I Do Ace Frehley's DYNASTY Costume.

Next week I'll have my IBANEZ Iceman, which will be repainted and finished like Paul Stanley's Cracked Mirror guitar, and I recieved my Ace Frehley Gibson Les Paul last week too

Fuck it, I'm sick of writing, and i'm betting you stopped reading 2 and a half paragraphs ago

Rock On

SO.... Officially announcing plans for a Dynasty/Unmasked Ace Frehley.... gonna need a ton of mirror perspex, foam and satin! Also I'm converting my Current black knock off les paul, with a 3rd pickup, Gibson Les Paul truss rod cover and Gibson headstock decals. I have an Ace Frehley Gibson Les Paul on its way to me now as well, Brilliant looking and I can't wait to get it, and I'm also soon to be the proud owner of an Ibanez Iceman!

Also.... for MovieWorld's Halloween night, we're gonna be dressing as the Hottest band in the world......

Its a brilliant time to be living on planet KISS

Well well well...... This is just a testing the waters sorta thing, but w\how many of you fine cosplayers would be interested in participating in a Video blog, where you'd get an interview and short segment on your works? Its still in planning, but WILL happen, closer to the end of the year.

On my Gene Front.... The torso and right boot have been covered in foam, and soon, hopefully be the end of the weekend, i'll have all the foam work done, and the latex started. Also for my Ace Frehley..... i kinda.... just bought an Ace Frehley Signature Gibson Les paul guitar.....

And..... on Tuesday, I've been with my gorgeous For one full year!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!

anyway, its not even 5:30am..... and I've gotta get read for work!
yay.

Do ya, do ya? -KISS- Do you love me (1976)

Hell-o Fine DAers.....

Well... I've been pretty productive of late.... Inspiration strikes in burst you know. I've officially started my DYNASTY/UNMASKED era Gene Simmons costume. I've got the HUGE red satin cape sewn, with buckles and everything sewn in. I've got the codpiece finished and strapped, I've got the general shape of the chest plate started, it still needs some work before it gets fiberglassed, AND I've finally got the toes/heels of the platform boots foamed, no more that 30 minutes ago. Tomorrow I might get a chance to shape them and texture the rest of the legs.

As you MAY have seen, I started and finished my Paul Stanley ALIVE! boots. Goddamn it I'm proud of them. I'm definitely working out a battle plan for a full ALIVE! Paul costume! I've also been commissioned by my good friend Tony, To make him a LOVE GUN era Ace Frehley costume, which I'm pretty excited to start. Tony also does vacuum-forming, which is how they make the plastic Stormtroopers armour, and we're in talks to make a set of two of gene Simmons armour in plastic, which would be very cool. I also have to start on Brett and Donna's destroyer Gene armour this weekend.

Other than that, Its getting close to 12 months with my gorgeous , and I'm currently sick as a dog, lmao

GODDAMN COMMENT THIS!!!!!

Hey all....

First off.... Nova rocked. Its been said in every other journal, so fuck saying it here. I did have one typed out about a week ago, but i lost it before I could publish it.

COSPLAY-

I'm working on a new Gene Simmons costume, to use alongside/instead off my Destroyer Gear. This is his Dynasty/Unmasked Era costume... and is now, because of some expert negotiations at work, is only gonna cost me around $100 to complete to a wearable standard.... This includes the boots! This costume.... SHOULD be debuted at GenCon 2009.

I'm beginning some upgrades to my Arockalypse Mr. Lordi costume. Mainly with some details I'm lacking on the legs/boots, and some other parts that are lacking on the suit. I've planned a new satin cape, with the Lordi logo in rhinestones on the back, instead of the glitter paint. I got the DARK FLOORS - The Lordi Motion Picture- DVD this week, and it had a brilliant behind the scenes shot of Mr. L's boots, from the back, as he's walking. It showed details I NEVER knew existed! so now i gotta add them, PLUS I've noticed there's actually a tarantula-esque spider on the toe/front of his boots. Look at a REALLY high res promo shot.... its there!

Should have 2 Deadache Amen costumes out by Halloween, One for me and one for Liam over in the UK. So that'll be nice.


Anyway, I think thats all for me.... OH If you like Van Halen/80's sci fi/80's rock/lots of synth, Go out and BUY the GALVATRONS Debut CD. It'll rock your fucking world!


Keep fucking rockin.
Curt

PS. I need a Photographer who'd like to do a LORDI cosplay shoot with me, either on location or in a studio. Hit me up!
