Here are three pictures of myself as Boromir. They were taken the other day.

Wonderful! You make an excellent Boromir.

I wish I had an(other) excuse to dress up in some tolienish costume, it's such fun. This year this far I've only dressed up as Darth Maul once and missed my chance to dress up as a Renaissance painting Virgin Mary. *deep sigh* *thinks of brainwashing a friend to change an upcoming Dinsey costume party to a LotR costume party*

And all you 'downers should dress up as people and post the pics here because it's so much fun.

When I was ten years old, which was right after The Two Towers film came out, I participated in an extremely abridged play version of The Fellowship of the Ring. I had never read FotR nor even seen the film but never the less I was chosen to play Galadriel for reasons still unknown to me. But as this was a very small production everyone was required to play two parts, my second being a nameless orc.

In order to fit my part I had to come up with a suitable costume for Galadriel; I carefully constructed myself a crown of golden aspen leaves that had a tendency fly off my head if the ribbons that held it in place came undone, something which I believe occurred at least once in the play. However this was probably not even noticed among the disorganised throngs of confused children trying to remember who was an orc and who was a member of the Fellowship (without much makeup we all looked rather alike). I also had a long purple dress fastened with a golden belt and a floaty white silk cape adorned with a tassel and beads. Canonical it was not but I remember having a wonderful time being aloof and speaking a majestic voice, I only wish I could do it again.

How did you do your crown Laurinque? I was clipping back my willow tree yesterday (neither old man nor whomping) and thought about making a crown like Thranduil's Autumn one with the strands... so far it looks more like a crown of thorns but it was a first attempt and I have more...

I just realized that I'm working on my next costumes and haven't even published a photo of the one I made last year. So without further delay, here's Ioreth.

So sweet, checking if the warrior has fever.

Can already imagine the dialogue... "You don't look so good! Have you been eating right lately?"

Anyway, the costume looks great, I like how the red cross, becomes the red symbol of Minas Tirith, and blue and white fit well with working in the Houses of Healing.

Maybe a bag of athelas leaves as well?
