That is seriously the coolest costume I have seen in my entire life.
I didn't get to dress up this year *is sad*, but even if I had, there is NO WAY it could have compared to your costume. I am seriously envious, I would never have thought of that--best I could do is generic vampire.
Unfortunately it was the vampire part that failed for me; powder doesn't work for the complexion, my widow's peak kept smudging, and the teeth I'd bought at the last minute absolutely did not fit at all. Next time I might just have to fork over the $17 for the veneers ... it still strikes me as way too much but it seems like less of a difference now for how much better they would have worked.
I think I could do the complexion, I'm very fair-skinned, but the teeth would admittedly be a problem. Technically, you could probably do without them--don't vampires' fangs shrink when they stop drinking blood, or am I remembering wrong?
I think, depending on the mythology, vampires' fangs extend when they've got the bloodlust on ... in fact I think there's a mention of that in Monstrous Regiment when Maladict loses it. I was going to use that as an argument in my defense if anyone had challenged me, but it would have been so much easier to just have obvious vampirey teeth. It doesn't help that my orthodontist removed my peg teeth and filed down my canines, either ...
Wow, your an orthodontical victim, too? Mine did a crap job and I ended up with a weird underbite. He only filed my front teeth, though, not my canines, which ended up weirdly sharp because I chew on pens. So, I guess I could pass as a vampire, now I think of it...
