I actually have a whip from another costume ( Ring Master) That might actually be a wicked prop!!! Might have an issue getting it into a club though becuase it is real leather it might be considered a real weapon >.< Might just have to save that prop idea for later shots.
Agi, those are the very costumes I'me trying to avoid, they are too main stream and dull as well the candy thing is so "new" I made this mistake 2 years back to be queen of hearts ( though imo I looked the best then all the other queens:P) Like every other chick I saw was wearing an alice in wonderland costume of some sort.
This year I wanna be more original and avoid seeing others wearing similar stuff. Never saw a moulin girl before and I would hardly see a red riding hood, will most likely be snow white, mark my words!!
