Begetting a preplanned photosmagoria
I knew I wanted my two Bruces (Brice?) as Father Time and Baby New Year which seemed simple enough.
No.
Father Time needs a beard. And a scythe. And a robe. Baby New Year needs a top hat. And a diaper. And a sash. None of which I had ahead of time, except for the top hat, oddly. And just right now I am remembering I have another one too.
In any event, Father Time's robe is made from the the remains of Ben Kenobi's robe. His beard is fake fur (which, p.s., falls apart if you cut it too small) held on with Clear-Tac and damned if I don't keep using that stuff to attach stuff to other stuff. So far it hasn't hurt anyone's paint so I'm's happy. His scythe is some kind of army tool I had that's part pick axe, part pike or something. I don't know. It's Photoshopped. I have an actual scythe but I couldn't find it. The hourglass that's not really visible is from a novelty toothbrush holder that I'd bought for Marty's Guavidad gift. Sorry about that. I'll put it back.
Baby New Year's diaper is made from the remains of Luke Skywalker's coat. Man, it was difficult to attach and get it to fit without being too saggy. Saggy diapers are bad. It would make Bruce look like he had dropped something and that wasn't right. Fortunately, the hat fit.
The background is my skirt, vintage bias cut satin, trimmed in ruffled lace with a slight fishtail. It would look better on someone with an actual behind but too bad, I bought it first.
And after all that, last minute dash to assemble and pose and pick up and reassemble and pose, there's this:
Because by the time I was done making, assembling, posing, the light was disappearing and I gots places to go and can't be spending all day setting up a light tent so everything came out completely grainy. Yay!

Saggy Diapers That Leak! I wanna see that fishtail skirt. What does bias-cut mean? One of those terms I always hear but it has no meaning to me. Nice work there.
The definition is one of those definitions that adds more words you in particular wouldn't know, i.e.: "If something is cut on the true bias, it is cut at 45 degrees to the selvage. Bias cut garments were very popular in the 1930’s. They drape beautifully, and cling to the figure more than straight cut garments."
Basically, pre-Lycra.
