This is me getting my elven ears attached. This was a pain in the ass because for about a week later I still found glue on my ears from them.

Here is a full picture of my costume, which was incredibly difficult to make. Definitely had to make my own pattern and hand sew the elven designs on the chest. I thank my mom and Heather for all the help :)

This is my friend Heather dressed as Pippin. We laughed that she looked like a professor in a cape....we love you Heather...you're....special.

This is Mandy the first time around. She's wearing a fashionable Harry Potter robe, but using it as a Ringwraith cloak. Just wait till you see her the SECOND time around....

This is Megan's Mom dressed as Galadriel. Her cloak was made out of fleece and her dress was a really nice velvet-like fabric.

This is Megan with a great big smile on her face LOL...She's dressed as Frodo and wearing MY One Ring....grrr...

What is the elvish word for friend? Gandalf didn't even know....but do not fear because Legolas had the answer this time.

My sister was kind enough to transform my front door into the Door of Moria. She was thrilled about the project.......

This is a group picture of all of us before the ROTK premiere. Newly added to our obsessive group is Laura dressed as "Merry", Stephanie dressed as Rosie Cotton, Hayley as Galadriel (using Megan's mom's costume), and Rob my sister's boyfriend dressed as a Ringwraith....or the black shadow on the left LOL...

This is our fun picture. As you can see Gandalf is blessing Frodo, Rosie Cotton is drunk, Pippin is asking for another pint, Eowyn is kicking Arwen's butt, Legolas is twanging his bow (if you know what I mean), and Galadriel has transformed into Batman.

My elf eyes had to take a double take. Who knew we were twins?

Megan was made to be a hobbit...I especially like the "red eyes" LOL...emphasizes the fact that Frodo is possessed.

Here's Mandy the SECOND time around...the former ringwraith has become Eowyn. Just don't talk to her about her belt....

OR SHE'LL SLASH YOU WITH HER SWORD!! She is no man.....but she'll kick your ass and not ruin her pretty dress.

Who says Hobbits are the alcoholics? Elves can be too...and women. But don't fear because this is just entwater. Too bad I didn't get any taller because the hobbits have me beat.

FRIGGIN COLD! That's all I can say about waiting outside the theater from 10:00-11:30 in nothing but our costumes in December in Chicago none the less. We all charged the door like Aragorn leading the Dead when they let us in.
