Evening Arwen at Etsy provides unique, customized costumes and corsets for roleplaying or fancy dress events. You can choose from premade designs or draw up the blueprints for your outfit completely from scratch. Either way, you will get a costume that wows all who see it.
How many out there love Halloween? Or have themed birthday parties? Maybe even there’s a huge movie premier that you want to dress up as your favourite character to? If you agree to any of those things than you and I have something in common… costumes. We clearly love to dress up and be something that in real life we probably never could, such as an elf or a jedi.
While I love the main characters of our blockbuster films I also love some of the side characters that you never seem to see costumes of. I’ve also found that nothing is worse than spending a lot of money for a costume that feels like it was made out of something that maybe resembles cotton and was made one size to basically fit all. And that’s where I come in…
My goal is to create movie replica costumes for almost any character out there that you could possibly want to be. On my page you will see costumes that inspired me to want to create them and they are listed up here to give you an idea of what I can do. But the purpose of this site is so you can contact me with who you want to be and then we will discuss in detail what your budget is, the colors, material and accessories that you would like to include with the costume. My prices I know are on the more expensive side but a lot of that is due to the fact that the materials I use are very high quality and the outfits made require quite a lot to create it as a whole. All pieces though can be sold/made seperately and if you only have under $100 dollars to spend then I will do my best to create something for you that’s still beautiful and will fit like a glove for that price.
I’m here to help you be the talk of the party… in a good way. = )

Becky’s most talked about creation at the moment is the Star Trek Inspired Corset, based on the Star Trek: The Next Generation jumpsuits.
The corset is available in red, blue, and yellow, so you can get decked out in your Star Trek uniform of choice. No need for shore leave on Risa when you’ve got this sexy little number hanging in your closet!
Girl Genius, by Phil & Kaja Foglio: Adventure, Romance, MAD SCIENCE!
In a time when the Industrial Revolution has become an all-out war, Mad Science rules the World… with mixed success.
At Transylvania Polygnostic University, Agatha Clay is a student with trouble concentrating and rotten luck. Dedicated to her studies but unable to build anything that actually works, she seems destined for a lackluster career as a minor lab assistant.
But when the University is overthrown, a strange “clank” stalks the streets and it begins to look like Agatha might carry a spark of Mad Science after all.
The award-winning Girl Genius, a Gaslamp Fantasy that started as a comic book series then turned into a webcomic, is currently available online and in graphic novel collections.
Add a little whimsy to your interior decorating with Streamline, the New York-based company that specializes in funky décor and accessories, and “dedicates itself to the design of all things wonderful for those who are fashionable and fun at heart!”
Toadstool Table and Toadstools
The storybook-inspired Toadstool Table and Toadstools set, a 100% organic design cast in solid resin and painted in naturalistic colours, looks like furniture pulled straight from a fairy garden or the world of Alice in Wonderland. Just like real toadstools, these jumbo versions are weatherproof, so they can be planted either indoors or out in the yard. The Toadstool Table is the “perfect table to throw a tea party at or doodle daydreams with friends”, its matching stools providing a place to “enjoy reading a good book upon”. Sure to become a cherished childhood heirloom, the Toadstool Table and Toadstools will also appeal to adults seeking to bring a little magic into their living space. The table makes an ideal end table or display stand for fantasy books and art, and the stools are small enough to serve as accent pieces in the kitchen and anywhere else toadstools seem likely to crop up.
Navy Blue Intergalactic Juicer
Streamline’s Intergalactic Juicers are gadgets for those who like a little science with their fantasy. Touted as a “modern accessory for the kitchen capable of making morning moon juice”, they come in four stellar colours: Navy Blue, Lime, Bright White, and Posy Pink. Except for the minimalistic Bright White, each style has a design printed around the edge of the saucer ring, the most fitting of which is the Navy Blue’s Space Invaders pattern. The plastic juicers pop apart into four pieces for easy cleaning and, instead of a messy pouring spout, they have a hole in the bottom of the saucer that allows juice to drain straight through into any container the UFO hovers over.
Yellow Submarine Radio
For a bit of retro kitsch, there’s the Yellow Submarine Radio, which will be an immediate hit with fans of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine song and animated film. This rubber bath radio has scan and volume buttons, and produces very clear sound in AM/FM. It’s waterproof, but is labeled “do not immerse in water”, so children should be supervised when playing with this little musical sub. In summer weather, the radio can travel from the tub to the wading pool on the deck, where, as Streamline suggests, you can “relax in the pool and listen to your favorite team at play”. Music and news are just more fun when broadcast from a novelty radio.

Retro sci-fi and steampunk fans, rejoice! Weta, the company best known for creating the sets, costumes, armour, weapons, creatures, and miniatures in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, presents Dr. Grordbort’s Infallible Aether Oscillators & Other Marvelous Contraptions.
Dr. Grordbort’s Infallible Aether Oscillators is a line of 1:1 scale antique styled, sci-fi hand weapon props, conceived by Weta designer Greg Broadmore and meticulously built by master model maker David Tremont. With charming 1900s contraption styling and finish, the Rayguns evoke the nostalgia of a lost age of exploration and discovery, and possess an intentional sense of humour and fun in their design.
Six years ago, Greg started illustrating classic Rayguns, and after creating a series of nine full-size illustrations on canvas, he showed Weta Workshop’s Richard Taylor, who, in turn, asked for a painting of his own. Greg agreed and tentatively suggested launching a range based on these drawings. And the rest is history.
“Dr. Grordbort’s Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory plays to all that Sci Fi imagery I love”, grins Broadmore. “It’s full of bizarre inventions and man-melting weaponry. The three Rayguns are featured alongside many others including Servile Automatons, War Wagons and even Mass-mo-trons. Almost all of them are capable of accidentally crippling the user or worse. That’s one of the things I loved about the classic Science Fiction machinery. They all looked like death traps. Just as likely to kill you as your enemy.”
The Rayguns have exploded onto the web, featured in collectors’ Christmas and birthday wish lists, and have been featured on International Directory BoingBoing.net and Gizmodo.com, who dubbed the Rayguns “your weapon of choice… a Raygun that’ll blast away giant monkeys… or evil wizard dudes”. WIRED Magazine recently featured a six page spread on the making of these weapons and New Zealand daily newspaper The Dominion Post dubbed the heaviest of the Rayguns, the Goliathon 83, “Weta’s Alien Buster”.
Creator Greg Broadmore, a self-confessed gun nerd, says the contraptions have been a long time coming in his mind. “I clearly and fondly remember watching the old black and white serials on Sunday afternoons as a little kid and the classic Sci Fi imagery has always stuck with me”, says Greg. “The swept shapes, spikes, fins and beautiful forms that are all jammed together with boiler plate and extraneous mechanical detail. That’s how I saw Flash Gordon, Tarzan, King Kong and others. But what I’ve [always been] fascinated by is the macho idiocy of the ‘hero’ in science fiction. The ‘heroic’ attitude of killing anything and everything in sight, especially if it’s jeopardizing the swooning heroine.”
The guns are limited edition pieces. There will be only 500 of each gun made worldwide, except for the Victorious Mongoose, of which there are only 400. All of these are handcrafted and made out of metal with some glass parts. Every Raygun comes with its own Moon-velvet lined pressed tin case, Certificate of Authenticity and an assortment of implements and crafting tools. Not only that, these bad boys will be a decent punch of metal — with each gun weighing in at over 7 pounds, these are no light investment.
“The original three Rayguns were previewed at Comic-Con San Diego 2006, and went on sale the following year at Comic-Con 2007, each limited to an edition size of 500. In under two years, 1000 of those original three high-end collectible Rayguns have sold, and a further three Rayguns have been released,” says Tim Launder, General Manager of Weta Limited. “We sold more than half of the Ray-Blunderbuss guns within the first month of release — including edition Number #1. Since Dr. Grordbort’s launched in 2006, we have had an overwhelming response to Greg Broadmore, the Rayguns, and to the world in general. This includes the Rayguns being voted #1 Best Toy in 2007 by Figures.com; Greg Broadmore being featured as ‘Tomorrow’s People’ on the cover of Idealog [September 2007] and a four-page spread in Wired — all about the Rayguns, Greg and Richard. We’ve even popped up on YouTube in an online ad in Australia.” The online viral campaign for the Rayguns has also been greatly successful, garnering several international awards:
NZ Direct and Interactive Marketing Awards 2008: Winner (Gold)
Caples Awards 2008, in New York: Winner (Gold)
ECHO Award 2008: Winner (arguably the most coveted award in global direct marketing, the presentation takes place in Las Vegas on October 14, hosted by Jay Leno of The Tonight Show)

Doctor Grordbort's Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory
Doctor Grordbort’s Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory cleverly uses the style of old Victorian advertising leaflets to showcase the Dr. Grordbort’s line, all the while maintaining, with a wink and a nudge, that everything within the faux catalogue’s pages is real. The full-page artwork is printed on heavy cardstock, and each page is laden with information and humorous asides about the many types of rayguns and other improbable inventions attributed to Dr. Grordbort and his cohorts, including the rayguns that Weta has already released as props. The Destroxor Labs Pearce 75 Atom Ray Gun, with its glossy red accents and stabilising fin, is the classic image of a Buck Rogers-era weapon, and will hopefully will be next up on Weta’s production roster. The Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory also contains a page of testimonials from “customers” who have tried the catalogue’s products (and survived to tell the tale); a short comic portraying a typical day in the life of the stereotypicallly English, world famous naturalist, Lord Cockswain; and postcard art. It’s pulp fiction at its sly best.
Dr. Grordbort's Satchel
Once you’ve perused the catalogue, you’ll naturally want to set out and explore. Every adventurer needs a pack while out in the field, though, so Weta has thoughtfully provided Dr. Grordbort’s Satchel. It’s the perfect bag to tote your copy of the Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory around in, and, until February 28, it comes pre-stuffed with a Wave Disruptor Gun keychain, Goliathon 83 Infinity Beam Projector pin, four postcards featuring Dr. Grordbort art, and a Dr. Grordbort’s Laboratories Schemes & Schematics notebook, each lined page stamped with the Dr. Grordbort logo. Even with all these bonuses, the bag is roomy enough to hold the rest of your steampunky supplies. For ladies, the canvas satchel also makes a creative alternative to a handbag. This is an accessory that will get noticed, and coveted, by fellow steampunk geeks.
F.M.O.M. Wave Disrupter Gun, Miniature Version
Now that you’ve got your field guide and a kit, you need to invest in some self-protection. If you don’t have the pocket change to expend on a full-scale raygun, then the F.M.O.M. Industries Wave Disrupter Gun, Miniature Version, is the firearm for you. Released in a Limited Edition of 900, it’s an itty bitty clone of the standard Wave Disrupter Gun. As the package describes it, “You cradle in your limp mitts a marvel of modern miniaturisation; Dr. Grordbort’s F.M.O.M. Wave Disrupter Gun, impoverished in scale by one of his ingenious contraptions. Golly!” It may be small, but this raygun is crafted with every bit of the care put into its bigger sibling, down to the weathered aging. (It’s also more concealable at this size.) In another nice touch, the gun separates from the base it rests on, so you have a choice of displaying the raygun with or without its stand. The attention to details is simply tremendous, an example being the tiny, amusing notice on both the model’s base and box which reads:
Made on Venus*
*not actually
The sturdy cardboard case the mini Wave Disrupter Gun comes in is numbered to match the collector’s model it houses. Shaped like a book, it’s coated entirely with glossy paper and printed with sepia-toned art and photos of the enclosed figurine. The hinged lid fastens shut with a concealed magnet, so once the flocked tray and other padding materials are removed, the box makes an ideal storage place for Dr. Grordbort pins, keychains, and other small treasures.
Fans of Dr. Horrible‘s Evil League of Evil will thrill to the upcoming Goliathon 800 Moon Hater Death Ray, as nothing quite says “mad genius” like a lair equipped with an old-school weapon of mass destruction. Order one, and you’ll be the envy of all the other supervillians.
Once you’ve stocked up from Dr. Grordbort’s catalogue, head on over to the official website to leave a testimonial and assert your bragging rights in the forums. The site carries full descriptions of all the raygun collectibles currently on the market, an image archive, and web comics, as well as a bestiary that describes and illustrates the many alien creatures you’ll be chasing down with your new raygun. According to Weta, there’s much more in the works for Dr. Grordbort fans to look forward to, such as designer t-shirts, pins, key-rings, postcards, limited edition art prints, and, one would assume, brass goggles. New pieces will be launched every few months.
For product details and purchasing, please visit WetaNZ.com and Dr. Grordbort’s. Select items are available through the Dark Horse Comics website (search keyword: “weta”).
Fans of web series The Guild will be familiar with J!NX by way of the official Guild Jinx Store. Series creator Felicia Day (pictured above) set up shop at J!NX in November, posting on the show’s blog that “the quality of the shirt will be much better than the print-on-demand we’ve been providing before.” J!NX fulfilled Day’s promise by delivering a higher-quality version of the classic Cast Logo t-shirt initially offered through CafePress, followed by a Knights of Good design that coincided with the second season premiere of The Guild.
Knights of Good
“Become a member of the guild inside The Guild with this shirt,” Day enthuses, winkingly adding that “Vork would approve”. What better recommendation is there than one from The Guild‘s all-business guildmaster? The colourful crest, a humorous, medieval stained glass image illustrated by Guild fan Jeff Carlisle, is beautifully reproduced on Light Steel (grey) for men and Asphalt (darker grey) for women.
J!NX also has an extensive line of clothing and accessories — hats, keychains, patches, buttons, pins, stickers, wrapping paper… even a Talking Murloc plush — based on World of Warcraft, the game that inspired The Guild.
World of Warcraft /Dance
A stand-out in the WoW collection is the sexy World of Warcraft /Dance tee, essential garb for ladies playing a Night Elf character, but J!NX makes sure that the entire family can show its gamer pride with an epic selection of Blizzard-themed items for adults, youth, and babies. For non-WoWers, there are many other licensed properties to choose from at J!NX, including StarCraft, Dungeons & Dragons, AdventureQuest, Apache, Collusion, commandN, CrankyGeeks, DEF CON, DL.TV, Dr. Horrible, Duels, GameBanshee, GameSpot.com, Hak5, isoHunt, MajorGeeks, MiniNova, MMORPG.com, MusicScene Network, Packet Storm, Phrack, Project Lore, Safer Networking, The Totally Rad Show, and TorrentFreak.
Maze
Be sure to check out J!NX’s original creations, like the Pac-Man inspired Maze, as well. The current “Design of the Week”, a timely Buffy Staked Edward t-shirt that will appeal to Whedonites exasperated by all the Twilight hype, perfectly demonstrates why J!NX has such a dedicated community. This is a company that knows pop culture and how to cater to its fanatics. w00t!
Order directly through the J!NX website. Bonus: each package comes with a sticker sheet plus any available catalogues or other promotional materials.
The Coraline movie premieres on February 6, and what better way to count down the days than to read, or reread, the award-winning children’s book by Neil Gaiman?
When Coraline explores her new home, she steps through a door and into another house just like her own… except that it’s different. It’s a marvelous adventure until Coraline discovers that there’s also another mother and another father in the house. They want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to keep her forever.
Coraline must use all of her wits and every ounce of courage in order to save herself and return home.
Coraline: The Movie Collector’s Edition is a new hardcover edition of the 2002 novel. It retains the original book’s interior illustrations by Dave McKean, but now has a movie art cover and an eight-page insert of full-colour images from the film. A section at the back of the book, entitled “Extra Delights for the Coraline Reader”, features a note from Neil Gaiman about director/screenwriter Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach), a note from Henry Selick about author Neil Gaiman, and an excerpt from Henry Selick’s screenplay for Coraline. Even if you have the first edition of Coraline, the Movie Collector’s Edition is well worth getting for these bonus materials.
Serving as a bridge between the novel and film is Coraline: A Visual Companion by Stephen Jones. This weighty coffee table book, with a foreword by Neil Gaiman, is a comprehensive guide to the making of the Coraline movie, divided in four parts:
The Book
The Movie
The Characters, and
The Other Coralines, a catch-all category covering Coraline‘s related projects:
the 2004 short student film of Coraline that combined live-action and cut-out animation.
the 2006 touring stage production of Coraline by Irish theatrical puppet troupe Púca Puppets.
the 2007 touring stage production of Coraline by Swedish children’s and youth theater group Mittiprickteatern.
the 2008 Coraline graphic novel adaptation by P. Craig Russell.
the 2009 Coraline: The Game, D3Publisher of America’s game adaptation of the film for PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and Wii.
the 2009 Coraline musical, a theatrical adaptation with music and lyrics by Stephin Merritt and book by David Greenspan, produced by MCC Theater and True Love Productions off-Broadway at The Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York, set to have its world premiere on May 6.
movie tie-in marketing campaigns, such as in-store promotions with American fast-food restaurant chains Macy’s and Carl’s Jr., cards and gift-wrap at Hallmark, and toys created by NECA.
Glossy pages trace Coraline‘s path from novel to stop-motion film in lush detail, accompanied by a wealth of behind-the-scenes production photos, preliminary sketches, illustrations, character designs, conceptual art, and completed images from the movie. Interviews with cast members Dakota Fanning (“Coraline”), Teri Hatcher (“Mother/Other Mother”), Ian McShane (“Mr. Bobinski”), Jennifer Saunders (“Miss Forcible”), and Dawn French (“Miss Spink”) — John Hodgman (“Father/Other Father”) curiously absent — and the film’s crew, including Neil Gaiman, add further insight into the film’s creative process. Coraline: A Visual Companion is a peek behind the animated curtain “that will appeal to Gaiman fans, cinema buffs, visual art enthusiasts, and all those who fall in love with the inquisitive young heroine of Henry Selick’s extraordinary film.”
Once you’ve read Coraline, and spent time in its Other World, you’ll never look at buttons the same way again. (Trivia Note: The fear of buttons is known as “koumpounophobia”.)
Coraline: The Movie Collector’s Edition and Coraline: A Visual Companion are distributed by HarperEntertainment and William Morrow, imprints of HarperCollinsCanada and HarperCollins Publishers. For more information on Coraline, visit the Neil Gaiman website and its related website for young readers, Mouse Circus. Neil Gaiman may also be followed on Twitter.
Cross Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book with Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride, filter the mix through the inimitable mind of Neil Gaiman, and you have The Graveyard Book.
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy.
He would be completely normal if he didn’t live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead.
There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy — an ancient Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer.
But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack — who has already killed Bod’s family….
Despite such a macabre premise and setting for a children’s novel, Gaiman makes growing up in a graveyard seem not only plausible, but homey. The crumbling burial ground, so beautifully described, sounds more like a wild English garden than a gloomy resting place for old bones, its resident ghosts a diverse community spanning centuries. Each of the graveyard’s otherworldly inhabitants are colourful individuals with genuine personalities, and reading about their interactions is like overhearing wonderfully strange anecdotes about somebody’s large, tight-knit family. It’s hard to imagine why Bod would ever want to leave this Gothic paradise, especially since his adopted kin have given him the “Freedom of the Graveyard”, which allows the living boy a measure of the dead’s special abilities, like Fading (who hasn’t occasionally wished they could hide by turning invisible?), Dreamwalking, and Phasing through things. Even with its dangerous ghouls and dark, ancient mysteries, the cemetery always feels like a safe haven from the horrors of school and would-be murderers that lurk outside its protective gates.
As Gaiman points out, though, “The boundaries are always there — between the graveyard and the world beyond, between life and death, and the crossing of them.” Upon reaching adulthood, Bod inevitably faces a choice: stay in the graveyard, where things are safe but stagnant, or go out and truly live. It’s a conflict that will resonate with readers approaching a similar crossroads.
For those who’ve read Gaiman’s previous works, part of The Graveyard Book will already be familiar. Chapter 4, “The Witch’s Headstone”, was first published in the 2007 short fiction collection M is for Magic, where it won the 2008 Locus Award for Best Novelette. Recognizable, as well, is The Graveyard Book‘s artist. Dave McKean, a frequent Gaiman collaborator, supplies the deeply creepy illustrations that pop up at random in the text like spooks in a carnival haunted house.
Recommended Reading Level: Young Adult (9-12) for scary situations and strongly implied violence.
Online bonus: The Graveyard Book Video Tour — Watch Gaiman, a gifted storyteller, read the entire novel online. It’s a lovely way to spend a stormy evening.
Representatives from the friendly, Star Trek obsessed Town of Vulcan, Alberta were invited to add their Trekkie Flair to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra’s Sci-Fi Spectacular concert at Edmonton’s Winspear Centre on January 23 & 24, 2009.
Narrated by George Takei, Mr. Sulu of Star Trek fame, this concert will feature a laser light show and musical selections from Star Trek, and other well known science fiction movies and TV shows.
“The Town of Vulcan is honoured to be invited to participate at the Sci-Fi Spectacular event. I think that when organizations, such as the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, host this type of event, it shows that Star Trek and science fiction really do have a universal appeal.” said Dayna Dickens, Tourism Coordinator for the Town of Vulcan.
Vulcan’s Tourism & Trek Station crew will be at the Winspear Centre in full uniform on both nights of the concert, taking pictures of guests posing with life sized cutouts of Capt. Kirk, Dr. McCoy and of course Mr. Spock.
The Town of Vulcan will also be supplying fun prizes for the best sci-fi costumes worn to the event.
Already on the international radar for its famous name and for its homage to Star Trek and Science Fiction, the Vulcan Tourism office is hoping to bring the World Premiere of Star Trek XI to the Town of Vulcan, Alberta for its May 2009 release.
The campaign to bring the movie premiere to Vulcan follows in the wake of 2008’s unveiling of a large Star Trek Memorabilia Collection and the 2007 launch of the “Vulcan Space Adventure” virtual reality game. Vulcan has a long Trekkie history, including opening the Vulcan Tourism & Trek Station — a spacey tourist information centre, in 1998; the unveiling of the 5-tonne Vulcan Starship FX6-1995-A in 1995; and the town’s first Star Trek Convention held back in 1993. Tributes to science fiction are everywhere from space murals and alien signage that grace the walls and street corners of this little town on the prairies to a Star Trek grave stone in the local cemetery.
The Town of Vulcan, Alberta is a “logical” year-round destination for science fiction enthusiasts from across the galaxy.
