Anna Karenina, the Movie and the Costumes
Because I didn’t want to read the book when I was in high school, I decided to wait until it came out at my movie theatre. I waited and I waited and finally 60 years later (that’s a very small lie…I exaggerated my age), it (Anna Karenina) was made into a movie. For me, half a film is the costuming, and this costuming looks spectacular. The other half is the acting and the story line, but I can’t comment on those until I actually see the movie. I’m not sure it was worth the prolonged wait, but still, I can’t pass the opportunity by to see the movie.
you can take a look at the new poster, below…

more...Are Superheroes Vunerable to Heat?
When I was in the manufacturing business, we specialized in cartoon character costumes. One of our main concerns then, was the possibility of the person wearing such a constricted suit to be able to breathe and not to pass out from heat exhasustion or heat stroke. We vented the costumes well, and suggested the wearer also have ice packks in and around his/her body so as to reduce the risk of faint or worse. This article reminds me of the engineering that was involved in costuming so as to prevent the very thing that these actors/superheroes were facing. Though I never heard of a fatality in one of our costumes, I heard there were many, many pounds loss due to persperation, even with the safeguards.
Playing a superhero is hard work – and potentially deadly. Andrew Garfield nearly suffocated on the set of “The Amazing Spider-Man” after he discovered his spandex suit wasn’t waterproof.
The actor plays Peter Parker, who embraces his incredible destiny after uncovering one of his father’s most carefully guarded secrets. Garfield nearly passed out while shooting an action sequence because he failed to learn proper breathing techniques required for the scene.…More at Batman & Spider-Man Stars Had Trouble Breathing In Their Iconic Costumes
How did Superman last all these years? Faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buidings with a single bound and was immune to heat. For more information about costumes, visit us at http://www.costumescostumescostumes.net
more...Super HeroesWe rarely publish anything about super heroes (and of course, all the cool costumes these guys wear), but today we are. Sorry, maybe it’s because of my age, but I don’t recognize all there heros. There was Superman and Batman when I was a young lad, then a scattering of others came on the scene. now it’s a plethora of heros. How can we not combat crime with so many of these guys out there. I think the crime rate in our city had decreased ten fold over the years.
“And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth’s mightiest heroes and heroines found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were born—to fight the foes no single super hero could withstand!”

You may or not be planning on wearing a costumes for your local Fourth of July parade, but this article features a couple of costumes that look pretty good. There are only so so many directions one might take for a costume that relates to the Fourth, but you might also consider “the Spirit of 76” which actually shows three people in the painting, a fifer, and two drummers and possibly a flagbearer to be in the rear.
