What kind of hat does Norm wear? Sort of like a flat baseball cap thing. Not that I'm going as Norm, but I think the hat could be an attachment point for Na'vi ears.

He wears some sort of aqua cap with something written on it in braille... I think. Here's the pic I'm going by:

Won't go through what I've got so far (not yet!), but these are some of the things I plan to get today:

Black hair dye,
Nair for men
Isopropyl alcohol
Medical tape

What's an aqua cap? Google searches turn up ordinary baseball caps coloured aqua.

That's what I meant.


...Come to think of it, it looks kind of like one of the fishing caps I have.

Ah, OK. Looks more olive-green or khaki to me.

Heh, ironcally, i'm the opposite way around.

I am dying to go somewhere as a Na'vi, and am making a costume, but have no party to go to as of yet.

Here's hoping that one of my friends who now studies up north comes down to celebrate his birthday down here. Then it would be on.

hehe, nice. I thought about dying my hair but I don't have the time or skill, plus my hair is very long and I REALLY can't afford to mess it up - maybe I'll get it done somewhere for Avatar 2, I'm sure I'd look good with black hair... just really don't want to risk doing it badly myself...

Quote:
Nair for men
That's dedication
I really should get a move on with my costume, really no idea what I'll do for that... not sure if I'm willing to go that far or not, but hairy Na'vi legs would just look bad I guess

(actually, should work out what I'm doing there anyway, was thinking a blue pair of shorts that could blend with the colour a bit then do the loincloth over them, but I need to sort that out soon...)

I may or may not go through with this. If the package I ordered ages ago arrives in the post tomorrow, I will.
