I want to design a dance costume based on the garb of male heroes from sword and sandal fantasy flicks, like Conan, Beastmaster, etc, with a little bit of Rambo thrown in for good measure. How lame is that?
I think that's rad! I love off the wall stuff, especially if it's done well, which, coming from you, I know would be.
I've been working with the idea of combining a tradtional pancake tutu/ballet outfit with an American Tribal style costume. So, no, I don't think you're crazy or lame in the least!
so...a belly bunny with 'tude? I once combined a bunny fur bikini bra, and had one of those indian metal bra's over it, so it wouldn't chaffe. you could also wear furry Ugs...or mukluks with a fur mini, or fur thong. maybe make a belt out of fake bones?...or ...make it more 'authentic', use t-bones from beef steaks, make sure the meat's all boiled off first tho!
Will it look good? Hard to say. Is it worth a try? Hell yes. It sounds very interesting. Let us know how it works out.
But to me "sword and sandal" refers to quasi-historical movies like Gladiator and Ben Hur, not fantasy movies like you list above. Can't vouch for what other people think though.
