I can't believe I haven't replied to this thread years ago.
here is a link to a picture of Yours Truly in his Gandalf outfit created for the opening of The Two Towers. The lovely lady next to me is, of course, my wonderful wife. I envied her a bit -- I worked for some time with a sewing friend to make my costume, but my gracious and gorgeous spouse just pulled some things from her wardrobe and voila! An elf maid. Too bad elves don't wear glasses.
