For anyone looking for an Old Gregg costume, here's what I used:1. Swamp Queen wigs (dreaded up and all funkay)
2. American Apparel lame leggings (hologram gold looks best)
3. Petticoats
4. White Boots
5. White ties
6. Black button-down shirts
7. Silver jackets with fishing lures sewn on
8. Black, red, and green makeup (sounds Christmasy, but isn't)
9. LCD lights attached to jock straps
10. White Gloves, and I made green fishy hands
11. And of course, Bailey's!
You two were by FAR the best x

ReplyDeletewhere do you get the boots from? cant find them in size 11 :L
ReplyDeleteCheck Ebay, just try searching white+boots+11 and see what you get! I know you can get those vinyl go-go boots in lotsa sizes.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the jackets and boots? Ive searched every nook and cranny of ebay and found nothing. Well, there was one but it was 280 dollars and I havent got much. And I just cant find the boots anywhere.
ReplyDeleteRebecca Darling;
ReplyDeleteWe've had a tux jacket spraypainted silver, a silver motorcycle jacket (perfect!), and also a silver lame sport jacket. Search for silver jacket, or silver metallic jacket.
White boots can be go-go or any variant and will still look good!
