Twitter (Original Design)
Debuted: The Art Institute of Austin, Halloween 2014
Awards: Best In Show
My co-workers wanted to create a group at work to enter into the annual Halloween contest. Alissa decided we should all be apps and after much debate I was selected to represent Twitter (my favorite app and most used social media site).
How I Made It
I bought the shirt from amazon and already owned the boots and leggings. I bought four yards of teal glitter tulle and made my own tutu which fastened with a white ribbon. I made the chest symbols for Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat by hand and cut them from super sticky felt. Then I added a hair clip to the back of a white feather and added that to my hair!
All day I was leaving glitter trails everywhere, but this was the most comfortable costume ever! People recognized the app symbol and I was tweeted, fav'ed, and retweeted all day long. I was suprised that a few also understood the feather in my hair as the icon you press to make a new tweet. It was a blast to wear this and win the contest with my awesome app group!
I also wore this out trick-or-treating that night and so many people recognized it and gave me candy! One couple asked if I was the "fail whale" and I told them that I was all of Twitter. It was a great night.
