Metaria

So recently I quit my dance class, due to increasing time constraints and decreasing average IQ of the rest of the students. Now I have lots of dance attire (tights, leotards, legwarmers, etc.) lying around my room taking up space.

I was trying to figure out what to do with it all, since I didn't want to throw them away (I spent a lot of money on this crap!) nor was there any aspiring dancer in my neighborhood I could dump them on, when my eyes drifted to the picture of NiGHTS on my desk I use as a drawing model. Hey, NiGHTS is a graceful character, and his costume is very dance-ish (I could totally see him on Broadway,) why not assemble a costume out of dance stuff?

But is it really a good idea? I'd have to dye spandex purple, which may or may not end unfortunately as I've never tried dyeing spandex...also, the shoes might not take a shine to being run around all over cons (especially not the tap shoes.)

I need some advice before going forward on this. I could pretty much assemble JoD NiGHTS' entire costume out of the dance stuff and my closet, except I'd need to do some heavy modification and getting messy with purple and pink dye. And if I do go forward on this, would it do NiGHTS proud?

Eek, I'm new. Um...
My name is Metaria. I live in the United States. I love NiGHTS...mainly because of the bright, pretty, colorful graphics and fanciful story. Compared to the other stuff I've got stashed in my game case (Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Star Wars, etc.) NiGHTS is a fun diversion.
Let's see...what else...I like to cosplay, read, sleep, procrastinate, eat foreign foods, take long walks at the floor in sci-fi conventions...yeah, I think that about does it.

If you have any questions, go ahead and throw them at me
