I've finally decided on (some) of the costumes for the family. Hooray. I'm going to be Tonto, and Ronan will be The Lone Ranger! I'm going to follow Johnny Depp's 2013 version relatively closely, albeit a female version. I threw together a 5 minute sketch to visualize what I'm thinking:
Since Depp played Tonto bare-chested, I needed some coverage. I have a brown overbust corset that has beautiful stripes I think would suit this costume well. I'll need to make or find some sort of beaded chest piece like Depp wore in the movie to help a bit with the coverage also. I'm not sure if I'll try to wear some sort of shirt or not, I suppose it will depend on the weather; last year was so miserably cold I almost wish I hadn't gone out at all! Keep your fingers crossed for some warmer weather.
Oops, got off topic. Back to it: I'll need some feathers and beads and such for my hair, bandanna, bracelets, and belts. I'm not sure if I want to stick with the pants (like Depp's character wore) or go with a skirt? I think some nice flouncy fringed pants would look great with a pair of knee high, fringed, red moccasins.
My cousin, Amanda, of
Amazing Moments, does unbelievably amazing face and body painting, so I'm relying on her to give me a hand with the face paint, and some of the tattooing/war paint. Right Amanda? ............Right?
Oh... and I need to find a dead bird. wtf.
