Paid!
I just paid for my next cruise to the Caribbean. 10 days in Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Costa Rica, Panama Canal, Colon and Ocho Rios - Jamaica mon! And let's not forget the 4 days at sea which has its own kind of fun.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the right thing by putting so much effort into a costume. What if nobody else is dressed up? What if only the staff is dressed up and people start ordering drinks from me. Then, I Googled the newsgroups for "halloween" and "cruise". Oh yeah, I'm dressin' up.
The costume itself (i.e. not including the sewing machine, lessons, etc.) will reach the $300 mark pretty soon. The material alone is about $25 per yard. It's a deep rich red upholstery fabric - and looks fabulous!
I'm about 90% done with the fabric part of coat 1.0,a white cotton version of the final product. Still to do: sash, sword, bandolier, rings.
Pictures to come!
