I supervised the wardrobe for this short film, shot locally over a long weekend. I designed & constructed the Madonna costume, and I did the aging/distressing of the other clothes. This film is still in the editing phase, so it doesn’t have an IMDb page yet.
I was Costume Supervisor on this short film. It was produced as a pitch piece for a feature, and we had a great time on the shoot, and I’m working with this director again.
Most of the costumes came out of the actors’ closets, but I made a few custom t-shirts; namely the “United States of Amnesia” shirt that he wears at the end.

I made this cotton dress, based on Coraline’s Mother, for Halloween 2010. Cotton dress with reinforced collar. I made the “eyes” with buckram in round frames, and we built the pointy head out of buckram as well.
In this episode of Ask Grim, I created a new robe for Grim. We were renting the original, and it was getting quite expensive. I made two removable liners for the hood, so we could wash them, when his make-up smeared.
I also assembled the leprechaun costume, from pieces at EC2 Costumes, in Studio City.

I created this look for Momma’s appearance at the MiceChat booth, during D23. She also wore it to Gay Days Anaheim 2011.
Momma’s design was to incorporate elements from five different Disney princesses: Rapunzel (wig), Belle (center front), Sleeping Beauty (pink satin), Snow White (sleeves, capelet), Cinderella (paniers). These princesses are all represented on one float, in the Soundsational Parade, at Disneyland. So we have the Soundsational song playing on speakers, in her bosom!
This year, I was very proud to be Costume Supervisor for the Firecracker Follies. This is the third time I’ve worked with this group and it’s always a fun show. I put together the look below, from a variety of sources, on a very low budget. I made the vest and the skirt on Momma, and I altered the other outfits to fit the actors.

I created these costumes for a short film, called DEATH, INC. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1887723/
We’re hoping to get into the Austin Film Festival.
Produced by: www.PurseDogTV.com
Directed by: Sandra J. Payne (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1924656/)
“Vincent Price” was played by: Dennis Mattai (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1855048/)
“Vincent” was fairly easy to style, as we had a lot of historical reference. The suit was rented and I made the ascot to match.
“Pete” was played by: Woody Schultz (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0776376/)
Our hero is kind of a lovable loser, so I wanted him to kind of remind the audience of Charlie Brown, without being too “on the nose”. His outfit was off the rack from Ross.
“Charlotte” was played by: Dot Jones (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0427963/)
“Charlotte” is secretary for The Grim Reaper. We wanted her to appear stuck in time, and I like the soft look of a late 1950’s professional woman for her. She’s all business, with a flirty, feminine side. I made the dress to Dot’s measurements, based on an historical pattern, and added crystals to a sweater from Goodwill. Custom jewelry was made by Jennifer Bobiwash (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1983185/) and wig was styled by Melissa Anchondo.
“Ask Grim” is a web-series that uses some of the same characters. You can watch episode 1 at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWFDpaO8Wa4
This year was my most challenging request. . . Sophie wanted to be a Centaur. While I was unable to make her moving back legs, I’m pretty proud of this one. The frame is PVC pipe and chicken wire. The back legs have wheels, so she can drag them along. I have no idea how she’s going to handle it at school.
2010: My friend Chane’t is The Good Virus. This mascot goes around, spreading cheer and good deeds, infecting people with the desire to pass it on. Body is foam rubber, with styro balls on springs.

2001: These outfits were inspired by Disney/Pixar’s MONSTERS, INC. My friend, Terri (left) and her partner were presenting promotional ideas to Frito Lay, for the film release. Terri’s suit is based on James P. “Sulley” Sullivan and this green outfit was inspired by Mike Wazowski. Both were adapted from existing patterns. And the client loved the whole presentation.
