I will be honest. ‘Smallville’ has not been on my radar or on my “must-watch-TV” list for years. Well, in its final season, it looks like fans will get some nice teases. In an episode titled, “Masquerade” (airing Feb. 18th, 2011), Lois (played by the voluptuous, Erica Durance) suggests that Clark be careful with his identity and should wear a disguise. Apparently, this leads to a fancy crimson red leather jacket with the “Superman” logo. Mind you, that this fashion consultation and wardrobe change all takes place while Chloe (played by Allison Mack) is being “tortured” by some baddie name “Desaad” (I’m sorry. Like I said before, its been a while I watched an episode. I have no idea who these guys are…). Regardless, I think the jacket looks pretty clean and snazzy. Not so over the top and very subtle. I still won’t watch Smallville though.

Update 02/03/2011: I’m hearing from multiple parties that this “costume” was revealed earlier in the season. Unfortunately, as I mentioned before, I do not watch the show, so it was a bit difficult to catch this. Regardless, its news to me and I can’t do anything but blame the two sources that reported it as “new”. Go figure. The internet duped me.

Halloween has already passed and we are mid way through November, but I could not resist posting about this amazing costume designed and fabricated by Scott Holden. This Tauntaun (from Star Wars Episode IV Empire Strikes Back) costume was three years in the making, and it really paid off. Using a pair of custom built stilts as the legs, Scott created this monster Tauntaun out of PVC pipes, chicken wire, silicon, wood, plaster, foam, and a whole lot of different materials. The best part of this costume is definitely the head. The amazing detail he put into the face and the horns is quite impressive. Too bad the costume doesn’t have a slit in the stomach with guts to climb inside for added effect. Regardless, great job Scott!

It the jump to see the pictures and video of this amazing costume!

I know for a fact that a lot of gamers are waiting for Sega’s much hyped upcoming action/thriller video game, Bayonetta. With the current trend of video games, it is about time that we get a new femme-fatale video game heroine. Who doesn’t love a sexy gun toting witch?

With Halloween coming up in two weeks, it is pretty much expected that many female (and maybe couple doods) will be dressing up as Bayonetta. Unfortunately due to the fact that Bayonetta isn’t scheduled to come out until January 2010 (in North America) there isn’t much reference material online to make an authentic Bayonetta costume. Considering that a lot of hard core gamer/cosplayers really take pride in authenticity in their cosplay, Sega has formed the “Make-A-Witch Foundation”. Sega’s Make-A-Witch Foundation assists any aspiring Bayonetta cosplayers with tips on the different features and aspects of Bayonetta’s character such as outfit, accessories, weapons, and even attitude. Although the tips are not very detailed, there are great images and info on how to create the “total package”.

If anyone is attempting to cosplay Bayonetta, please send them to me. For research purposes… riiiigggghhhhtttt…
