shanmonster: (For goodness sakes. I've got the....)
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?

Hee! Just wear a chainmail bikini and get it over with, Shan ;D

Although I'd be entertained to see Rambo or Conan in a maille bikini, I haven't yet had the pleasure.

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!

I think I should start working on it within the next week. It's been far too long since I've done any costuming.

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!

No, not a chainmail bikini. I'm talking about an outfit based on the men's costuming from those movies.

There will definitely be bones and knives involved, as well as an extra-long loincloth.

ooo...watch out for the bones.....

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.

I'm mixing them all up. Think Gladiator meets Rambo meets Tsrzan. Basically, any movie with guys in short skirts and/or camo makeup.

You know you have to create some kind of sword (or gun?) dance to go with it... ;)

Absolutely! I'm thinking of holding a knife between my teeth at some point. Ha!

This sounds great.

Is Tsrzan the guy who swings through trees, taking only what he needs and offering what he can produce? =D
