Oct 15: Comic book. When my dad was stationed in Germany (1961 - 1965), they didn't have American TV on base, so I read a lot of Comic books. Batman was one of my favorites, and I especially liked the villains. Here's Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. #over30cosplayhalloween #over60cosplay #costumer

Not a trick, but hopefully a treat. My book (in ebook form) has gone live on Amazon. I'm still finessing getting the paperback published. Full disclosure: the formatting of the ebook is a bit clunky, but it allows you to zoom in on all the costuming details. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist

Oct 13: Patriotic. What could be more patriotic than a salute to "Captain America: Civil War?" My Avengers Civil War Ball gown demonstrates that 2 strong personalities can each have their own beliefs on patriotism. #over60cosplay #over30cosplayhalloween ##costumer #sewist #cosplayer #Avengers

Oct 12: Steampunk. Ole Sarge as the captain of TIA (Texas Independent Airship) Omala and his trusty automaton navigator. Steampunk was the gateway to get my living historian hubby to cosplay with me. #over60cosplay #over30cosplayhalloween #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #Steampunk

Oct 5: 70s Style "The Carol Burnett Show" ran from Sept 1967 to Mar 1978. One of her most iconic sketches was "Went with the Wind" featuring an unusual gown by Bob Mackie, which is now in the Smithsonian. Here is my take. #Over60cosplay #Over30cosplayHalloween #carolburnett #costumer #sewist
