The Goblin King



The Goblin King



David Bowie's Labyrinth





Can you tell he loves the camera?
I was eh pleased with the costume. I certainly do not profess to be a seamstress by any means, I'm just a mom that's easily coerced into making his Halloween costumes. After the photoshoot, I did a bit more tweaking and insisted he tuck that shirt in! I also clipped those loose threads...eek.

Halloween duds submitted to Parent Bloggers and Blurb.com!
I'm going for Most Creative Costume for all shots; really, is there anything more creative than David Bowie's Labyrinth?

Submit your little goblin or angel's picture before Sunday, Nov.2nd!

I think it came out great, and Labyrinth is a great film for him to love! Don't let him see Bowie in The Hunger, or you'll be making vampire costumes next!

Oh my, I loved that movie! Is he going to walk up to random babies tomorrow and say "You remind me of the babe, the babe with the power"?

Stopping by from SITS. How creative! And the detail is just incredible. What a great mom!

SWC said...

Okay, I'll admit that you scare me girl!

How can you be so freakin' talented? You are just trying to put all of us to shame.

Chilihead said...

WOWZA! That is an amazing costume, my friend. I'm much impressed. He looks fabulous. Wow. There's just not much more to say than, WOW!

Awesome costume, haven't seen Labyrinth recently (the last 20 years?) but you nailed it according to my memory!!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

Good N Crazy said...

Labyrinth? Oh my heck, I'm like 12 again. Srsly? How does he even know about that?

Heather said...

Oh. My. GOODNESS. *THIS* is the BEST costume I've seen this year. How I totally loved David Bowie in Labyrinth. I'm not kidding you when I tell you I saw this movie in the theater three times in a row when it first came out. I owned the soundtrack (on vinyl, but I did download a few of the tracks onto my iPod last year too).

This totally ROCKS!!!

Julie said...

I love that costume. If he had come to my door for treats I would have totally known who he was!
