Classic Adult Costumes

How accurate was the movie Elizabeth?
A question I dread answering — not very. The portrayal of costumes, customs and the interiors of buildings was absurd. I spied a lady in waiting with a chin length bob, acrylic fingernails on Cate Blanchett, men with razored off “rapper” haircuts. Dress styles spanned decades. The notion that Elizabeth I would have had sex with Robert Dudley in full view of a harem of giggling ladies in waiting is asinine.

What is The Movies all about?
The game is very simple. An original idea by Peter Molyneux – you get to run your own Hollywood movie studio. The game can really be divided into 3 main areas – designing your movie studio, forging the careers of movie stars, and making movies. It is possible to focus on any of those areas that most appeal to you, and spend less time on the others.

What is “Shadowcasting”?
For Shadowcasting, a movie is projected onto a screen while live performers act out the movie in front of the screen for the audience. All-Con 2008 offers features the local Rocky Horror troupe LosBastardos on Friday night with a cast of their own professionals. A convention without costumes is as odd as a peacock without feathers. Costumers bring their finest works to conventions to show them off and engage in friendly competition. All-Con will hold our Costume Competition Saturday evening.Some (very few) cast members are blessed with the ability to sew, or know people (friends, relatives, Mom) who are similarly blessed.

Was there a Garbage Pail Kids movie, where can I get it, and what home video formats did it come in?
There was a live-action Garbage Pail Kids movie released back in 1987. The Garbage Pail Kids characters were actors dressed up in costumes that distantly resemble the artwork on the Garbage Pail Kids cards. When I saw the movie, I thought it was horrible, and I do not recommend it. Still, there are plenty of collectors that want to see the movie, and it is somewhat of a cult classic. If your local video store does not carry the movie, you can try searching eBay for it.

So what was real?
Pretty much everything else. The set designs, costumes and the ship itself were painstakingly re-created from numerous written and photographic sources. Captain Smith, Thomas Andrews, Molly Brown, Bruce Ismay, Col. Gracie and others were all real people. The sequence of events from sailing day to rescue is quite accurate. A few scenes are controversial. First Officer Murdoch’s suicide by pistol never been confirmed. However there are few flaws in this vision of the Titanic sinking.Pretty much everything else.
