Becoming Leela is tough

logansrogueI'm learning how to do her make-up today, and her make-up was fairly minimal on the show. Mostly bronzing and shading. But the one thing that will amuse me about the costume is this:
I have much bigger boobs than the lovely Louise (who played Leela). Hers look to be a B or C cup at most. My jummlies are a bounteous D. Dancing around in her skimpy costume will be quite the sight, because I remember her nearly falling out of her costume a few times on the show. I also remember Mr. Baker copping a feel during the "OH NO WE'RE FALLING OVER!" scenes. Which always cracked me up mightily. He was a pretty equal opportunity dude though, I have screen shots of him canoodling with Andred too.
Anyway, I am trying out make-up, cleaning up cat-shit and cat food feeding areas then having a shower. Still not got a shampoo that pleases me yet. Am frowny.

Date: 2010-06-04 05:59 am (UTC)my boobies wound up having a growth spurt and i'm about a 32 D which is an odd size so i mostly just wear 34 C but adjust the straps for my super narrow shoulders and rib cage. its incredibly frustrating for dresses etc. and strapless bras i have to strangle myself in a B cup to get the approriate lift (if you buy your size in strapless it flattens you as the lift from straps is gone)
when i did my padme costume from episode 2 (the leather corset dress) i had a similar problem as i am several sizes larger than Natalie Portman and so was spilling out of my corset quite a bit which was awkward as i wound up on t.v in costume and many many photo ops as the costume won me an award at the convention masquerade. I still want to reuse the skirt (and possibly the corset but maybe not as you need a second person to stitch you up) for a steampunk costume i have a feeling for. right now tho i'm doing a star trek costume. I just need to purchase the phasers and communicators (i always buy 1 MIB and 1 for use) and the tight little red dress which i found on ebay for cheap(ish) $50 USD free shipping. I don't think i could ever look as good as you did when you sang in your costume tho!
theres a site i think you should check out http://www.nerdgirlpinups.com you would be perfect for it. They've been having some problems with the site so i've been trying to apply as a model for awhile i'm pretty sure i'll be accepted from what i've heard but its damn hard to get onto! Its a GREAT site tho and i know a lot of the models, its so nice to see sexy and geekdom be one and the same! :)

She's an English Rose, I'm not (more the wild Scot about me if anything from the area) so it's going to be up to the costume to seal the look-a-like-ness.
It's really great to talk to someone who's as into costuming as I am! :) And it's costuming that's not Anime. Anime costuming is great and all, but not my gig. :D
