12. Yes, yes they have
The bare bones of it came out of a TSR supplement from years ago, and various folks have expanded on it over time...it's not nearly as worked out as Sindarin, but give it time. :silly:

4. Very nice.
I was supposed to be the zombie kid who likes turtles, but nobody got it and kept asking, "Why do you have turtles all over your shirt?" to which I answered, "I like turtles," and they still didn't get it.

Anyway, here I am with the Invisible Man, at a party at the home of the Deviled Egg and a hairy-legged Pebbles from the Flintstones:

21. Thanks!
By the way, the invisible Man in that shot was the drummer in some DC hardcore bands (one on Dischord) and some later SF queercore bands. I am so flattered to be pictured with her.

13. Yeah, I had pointy ears on
It's hard to tell under all that hair, though. :)

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find pointy ears in African-American skin tones. I had a set years ago that fell apart and have spent the better part of 10 years trying to replace them. Thank goodness for eBay!

24. Here's me a few Halloweens ago:
Me as Montresor from "The Cask Of Amontillado":



BTW, I totally love the Drow Elf costume. I'm a former Dungeons & Dragons geek. Loved me some drow elves! ;-)

As usual. That outfit is too cute. :loveya:

I scored the wig on eBay. It's really high quality too, nothing at all like those cheapy Halloween store wigs.
