Not dead yet

Crazy idea involving an obscure remix of a skinny puppy song - seems like a good idea, so must be having a crappy week...

anyways, this is a classic and lovely costume worn by Sherry Britton...



I want to build a costume of this style from plastic and metal, some fabric - but ripped and worn, kind of a post-apocalyptic view of burlesque. All in tarnished and old metal colors with dark reds, greens and black.

the song is from a Skinny puppy tribute album titled "Hymns of the Warlock" but the song is not titled correctly on the album - or the title was changed to encompass all of the remixing and and other work done on the song - I recognize the lyrics as "Worlock"

The song has an infectious -bump and grind- beat, and several movie samples that I have not figured out how to deal with.

some other costumes that might lend to this design:

Gypsy Rose Lee



and Lily Munster :)
