Hey Everyone,

Feel free to post a little info about yourselves and your costuming historty

I don't know about historty, but I can talk about my costumes in the past.  When I was twelve I bought a plastic Don Post Darth Vader helmet.  My grandmother made all of the soft parts and I made the belt and chest pieces out of posterboard.  It was pretty good for back then.  I made it for a Star Wars play that I wrote and directed with classmates.  Move forward to 1999 to Star Wars Celebration I in Denver.  I saw 501st trooper armor for the first time and I decided that I wanted to do that.  I got really interested in Darth Maul when Episode 1 came out.  So much that I wanted to do a costume.  My first one was okay.  My horns were too big and I think I had a toy lightsaber.  The next year it was better with horns and a replica lightsaber from a propmaker in Canada.  Since I couldn't put on the Maul without help, I decided to sell it and get trooper armor.  It didn't sell for enough, so I went, with my son, as a Jedi that year at Halloween.  This costume also got sold and then after selling off some Star Wars stuff, I got stormtrooper armor through the 501st.  After a few years of trooping as a TK, I've come full circle with a 501st Legion approved Darth Vader costume.  Take a look here:  http://picasaweb.google.com/TK9965.

Now I'd really like to make a Captain America costume.  I'm not even quite sure how to start.  That's why I joined up.

Hello everyone, It is my goal to have as many serious costumers at my convention as possible. www.capecomiccon.com . I believe that costumers are the attraction at these events and people want to interact and get photos with those who immortalize the superheroes. I would love to have any and everyone who can make Cape Comic Con in Cape Girardeau Mo. May 1st and 2nd. I hope to see you there...you will be treated like guests of honor.

hi everyone, the name is Zack ^^ ive meet pretty much almost everyone here already id figured i might aswell join the forums here ^^

anyhoo if some of you guys met me at MegaCon on Sat this year and maybe got a lil annoyed by me im sorry xO i tend to like to really get into character and well i mean i would really be Deadpool if i didnt maybe annoy one or two peoples xO but anyhoo im a pretty laid back guy i hate "highschool drama" ummm.....im pretty out going too but im all about having fun when it comes to cosplay so i never turn down anyone asking for a pic and i never let kids see me outta character only because i really do take cosplay serious as to the point to learn every lil thing i can add as far as how i walk, talk, act, speak, or even the small stuff like how i move my mouth, tilt my head whatever lil details i can add to make the character more real to people ill mimic and deliever to the best of my ability. Ive been cosplaying for 4 years now and my first actual full cosplay was the Black Symiote suit Spider-Man x3 goood times lol i was called spidey for a goodwhile after that lol but yea Spider-Man is diffinetly a character i want to perfect to the T and also hes the one character i have alot fun cosplaying as ^^

Hey Everyone,

My Name is John.  I have been costuming in the con scene since 2005 but was making my own costumes well before that. I am the Heroes Alliance webmaster and a member of the Tampa branch of the Heroes Alliance. 

If you have any questions about the Heroes Alliance you can reach me via the webmaster link on the main page of the website.  I will try my best to answer any and all questions you may have, and if I do not have an answer I will find the person who does.  I am very happy to see our website grow the way it has these last few months, and it is all because of you.  So as the webmaster I would like to say Thank You.

I had wanted to start a club to do a lot of community work with children.I wanted to be able to dress up in superhero costumes.A friend told me about your group and I also saw some of you at Mega Con.

    I have made some costumes but have no sewing abilities.I made a Thor costume as a child, and a Wonder Woman costume.

My name is John, I am new to the NJ and Philly area I come from NY.  I have a large movie and superhero collection you can see it on my Youtube Channel - Johnnyr2525,  I spent a few weeks with my grandmother and she was depressed and I thought of kids in the hospital and I thought that maybe I could make a few kids smile if I dressed up in my Spider-Man movie costume and visited hospitals.

Hello all. I am Ithica also known as Dave but Dave is boring. I have most of my information in my profile so I am going to make you work for it...lol.  You will learn more about me as I learn more about you all. I lok forward to being part of this great Community. Thank you for having me.

Hiya!

So my name's Gala (or "Gal" for short... hence the username ) and I'm currently a senior in college in Philly studying communications, English, and cinema. I've been a geek for as long as I can remember, probably started with the bullying of me having "mutant cooties" as I kid because I naturally have the same skunk stripe in my hair that Rogue does. Ha ha.

Although I currently have a Rogue X-Men Evolution costume, I'm working on a Batgirl (Stephanie Brown, but I'll probably do Barbara Gordon too one day!) and a Squire (Beryl Hutchinson). Hope to have them by Dragon*Con this year but there'll be plenty more costumes to come in the future (Rogue? Huntress? Batwoman? I'm so excited!).

Costuming aside, my hobbies including travel, reading, photography, and shopping. I hope to do PR and/or Children's Media one day too because I'm a kid at heart. <3

Cheers!

Gala

(Yup, this is the same info as on my profile...)

Just looking for more costumed fun.

Likely will make a costume of "Grifter" from Wildcats.  The GF is a fan of theirs pre-DC and will do one of them as well.

Greetings to all...  we are Lord and Lady Nitestar.  Just wanted to say Hi!  We're fairly new at Superhero costuming, but have been doing other types of costuming for many years.  So far, we have completed 2 sets of Superheroes:  Thor and Rogue and Custom GL's, and are working on Batman and PowerGirl.

HI EVERYONE! I'm Teri. I've been costuming since 2000 making my own costumes and such. only recently have I started diving into my favorite comic book characters.

I look forward to doing all sorts of events with you all! My next costume is Batgirl. so look out! POW!!

Hello everyone! Ok, a bit about myself. I've been costuming since 2001, primarily making my own stuff since 2004. I'm a member of the 300DC, which has gotten me to focus on health, which has also aided in confidence to do more comic book costumes.

I've known members of the HA for years, but never had the courage to sign up until recently.

I attend Dragon*con, and am working on Talia Al Ghul as I type.
