More costumes on the horizon

I admit it. I am a costume lovin' fool. I love wearing them, and I love making them. There are soooo many costumes that I want to make, and some are still waiting to be made. I have some of the parts, I just haven't had the time or the $$$ to work on them. But I can dream can't I? hehehheh....

Watching a lot of action movies, and playing video games that feature strong women characters gave me the idea to do quite a few new costumes. Here's a list of costumes that I would like to make one of these days. In no particular order:

Jill Valentine- Resident Evil
Sarah Conner- Terminator II
Lara Croft- Tomb Raider
Ellen Ripley- Alien Resurrection
Seung Mi-Na- Soul Calibur

So far I've got a good bit of Lara's costume pieces together. And I have some of Jill Valentine's costume pieces. The big obstacle that is keeping me from doing these costumes (besides not having the $$$) is my weight. I don't want to do any of these costumes if I'm not in better shape. It just doesn't look right when you have a chubby Lara Croft, or a Sarah Connor with flabby arms. LOL! So to hopefully keep my costuming dream alive, I'm going to have to get going with a workout program. I have had a lot of friends give me some good advise, and I'm going to try to stick to a regiment.

I still haven't given up on my Star Wars costumes. I will always love them the most. But it would be cool to be able to look good in some of the other "form-fitting" costumes that's out there. My ultimate goal: the slave Leia costume from Return of the Jedi. Now THAT would be awesome!!!
