Elastica!

.
For Halloween this year, my younger daughter wants to be Elastica from Zevo-3. What’s that you say? You’ve never heard of it? No one else has, either. She is possibly the only fan. If I let her, she will watch all 20 episodes in a row. Elastica’s super power is her amazing hair. It can pick things up and hurl them. It can be a propeller and lift her in the air. It can do other things that I would know about if I could stand to watch Zevo-3 for more than a couple of minutes at a time.

It is understandably difficult to procure a Zevo-3 costume for sale, which is just as well, since I had a great time making it. My favorite part is the wig. I took a pink wig from Five Below and threaded pink ribbon through the mesh, and sewed a yellow band to it. I took fabric that I originally bought to make skating costumes, which coincidentally is a similar color scheme to Elastica’s, and made the big E shirt and leggings. I bought the yellow gloves and added purple squares to them. According to my daughter, the squares are a vital part of the ensemble.

If you think this costume is esoteric, just wait until you see my older daughter’s costume. I want to write about it when I have a photo of her in it, probably on Monday.

Back view. There is a big E on the back, but you can't really see it in any of the pics I took.

A great look for me, no?
