Diy chainmail –

April 30, 2011
Hello again, as you will see it is not too hard to make your own chainmail. I purchased a good size roll of fencing wire that then I wound, cut and linked together. I have a ton of it left so I should probably continue with it.

The result looks impressive. The hardest part was starting off but once you get the hang of it it sort of becomes like knitting. I used non riveted rings as rivets would have been beyond what I needed. I found a metal rod about the diameter that I thought would be good and wound the wire by hand. I then removed the coiled wire and proceeded to cut it into links.

I then used needle nosed plyers to open and close the link. The pics you see in this post is the vest I made over 10years ago for my engagement party.

I look forward to your picd below.

Goodnight!

Villain Costumes and Why You Would Have More Fun Dressing up in Them

April 9, 2011

Why you would have more fun dressing up in Villain Costumes?

Going to a themed party in dressed up in Villain Costumes as opposed to the good guys will ensure that you have more fun. Lets face it, the only reason that heroes exist is because villains provide them with reasons to step up to the plate. So even if you are the only one dressed as a villain you will stand out and have more fun. Why is that?

Let see the main reasons would be:

  • Escapism
  • Unique
  • Association

Escapism:
Lets face it, no one lives a perfect life. Those that put up the front that they do, quite frankly LIE. Everyone wants to be able to put on a different mask and hide for a while and not be accountable for what they do. That is why we enjoy getting dressed up. It is the chance to portray another part of your own ego. A chance to have fun. A chance to let out that mischievous side you have bottled up.

Unique:
When you go to a fancy dress party you want to be different to everyone else. If it is a Super hero theme then come dressed in a super villains costume. You will stand out and lets face it, it could pay off especially if you want the attention. You could become an impromptu official of events or be asked to help out with other worth while tasks. While there may be 2 or 3 guests dressed as superman there may only be one dressed as the Joker or Bizaro!

Association:
This tends to get back to Escapism as it will allow you to associate with the said villain that you are getting dressed up as. So at this juncture maybe a better question is why do people associate better with villains. Here are some of the reasons:

  • Socially incorrect
  • More flamboyant
  • More colorful
  • Sympathy

lets explore each one in more detail

1) Socially incorrect
Most times Villains are not bound ( or suffocated) by social strictures or they have had enough and break loose with reckless abandon. This represents a darker urge held by all of us, including the heroes to really let loose and not care for the political correctness that have been enforced by minority groups. They don’t care, for the most part about what the rest of society thinks. They will be happy to stomp a granny as much as a body builder and they normally have the gadgets weapons or powers to do so as well.

2) More flamboyant
The bad guy image. Lets face it they are more confident as they just don’t care which is the attraction that the opposite sex sees and gravitate towards. It is a case of the bad boy gets the girl and the NICE Guy misses out they also don’t hold back when it comes to displays of power and lets face it most of the really eye catching explosions are masterminded by villains

3) More Colorful
This gets back to the Social strictures or lack of adherence to these guidelines. They set the dress code and woe be to anyone that ridicules them. How often at school do you see the IN CROWD sporting some ridiculous attire and yet when the so called geeks come out with something half decent they get slapped down for it.

4) Sympathy
The villains who are they? They could have been heroes and yet they had a tragic past which turned them to the darker path, Examples: Darth Vader, magneto, Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus. They turned their backs on an uncaring world and took control. Only the Heroes try to stop them and are as such seen as the champions of the masses. How often have you been embarrassed, ridiculed or even slighted by someone from the “IN CROWD” and wished a painful ill-gotten end to them. You can on some level sympathize with the villain. The stories with two dimensional villains normally flop where as the ones that have more punch per pound have a hook for the audience to associate with.

Now when you go to get dressed up as a villain at the next costume party, don’t forget to take a camera to the event so that you can catch all the memories.

Now if you are considering throwing your own Themed party then Villain Costumes contains information on what to consider to ensure that your party runs smoothly, as well as information available on how to make your own chain mail armor, not to mention that you can also to purchase your own costumes for your next Fancy Dress, Theme Party, LARP or Cosplay event or just urban wear for everyday living.

Even if you are going to a normal party you can have your own motif added by the urban clothing that you wear. You could wear a T-Shirt proclaiming yourself an “Evil Genius” or some other statement such as Minions wanted. Which could be a great pickup line for a guy or girl. “Hi would you like to be my evil minion?” This is definitely more low key but still worth doing for the ice breaking factor.

In any case the aim is to have fun and enjoy yourself.

Villain Costumes and Hero Costumes Engagement Parties

Engagement Party Ideas for Adults
By Andrew McFayden

This post is about Villain Costumes and Engagement Party ideas for adults. I think even though kids enjoy most Engagement Parties as much as a trip to sunday church a lot of the Engagement party ideas may be less suitable for children. Do you want your engagement party to be ho hum like or have great memories of the night with brilliant pics of the Great hero, strange and Villain Costumes that people come up with . While adults are into Engagement parties and always want to meet new friends and really dance and party, the kids and children are the ones who go and are sidelined to the children’s table. That is if they do not go to any of the adult tables to entertain themselves!

So what kinds of Fancy Dress Engagement party ideas are there for adults? For one you can go with the scary theme with classic Villain Costumes from horror movies. This means dressing up in Villain Costumes of ghouls and ghosts and all kinds of scary stuff. There are many different types of Villain Costumes out there,  Freddy Krugger, Jason, Chucky also  you can have the Asian ghosts or the western headless apparition costumes.  Tomato juice and ketchup also acts as a good substitute for blood and so if you are wearing something simple you can just add a bit of ketchup or tomato juice to increase the bloody effect.

Besides the scary theme, another popular theme is the super hero versus super villain theme. There are just so many hero and villain costumes to choose from. The easiest would be just to flip through any marvel comic and I am sure you will already have plenty of ideas in your mind. For example, if we just take the characters in justice league, you can choose from costumes of superman, wonder woman, the green lantern etc. What about X-Men? Choose from Wolverine, Cyclops, Beast, Gambit, Rogue, Storm, etc. Then others such as Batman who go as Robin, Catwoman, Mr Freeze, Two Face, Poison Ivy, The Joker, etc. There is even more like Spiderman, Megamind or even Mr Incredibles and his family. So you see it is simply very difficult to run out of costume ideas for such a party theme.

There are of course other Engagement party themes for adults. You have the medieval theme with the costumes of the heroic Knights of the Round table and the Villain Costumes of Morgana or the Villain Costumes from Macbeth or other great Shakespeare plays.

To make it more of a fun event you can have Prizes for the costumes people have either bought or taken the time to make. For example, Best Heroic Costume, Best Villain Costume etc.

The best part is that after the engagement party you can then reuse the costumes for other events such as Halloween! So your guests could spend $200+ on a dress that they may only use once or spend the same amount or less and have a lot more fun being dressed up in Hero, medieval, scarey or Villain Costumes.

I had a Fancy Dress masquerade engagement party. Loved every minute of it and so did all the guests. Including the ones dressed up in Villain Costumes.
