With this years halloween costume finished, I was thinking back on the other costumes I have had over the years. However it did not take long for me to realize the trend of people having no clue to what I am going as. Now for a few of the costumes I have to admit that it was expected that my idea was obscure, but some times it was just annoying. For a bit for fun let me give some examples with the reactions I received. Oh and if you do not notice, I have never had a store bought costume.
Green Power Ranger (Back when it was just starting!)
- Had no clue, I was too early as next year there where other kids with commercial ranger costumes.
Red Coat Costume (I liked the hat)
- Thought I was a pirate... sigh learn more history people!
Chinese dragon (of one)
- Had no clue, I thought it was cool, and it even ate the candy.
Kosh-tume V1 (Babylon 5)
- Had no clue, sort of understood when I said an alien.
Custom Dn'i Cloak (Myst)
- Had no clue.
Kosh-tume V2 (Babylon 5)
- Most had no clue, a few B5 fans caught on.
So for this years costume, which I will post in a day or two, I expect the same as usual. It is funny, as I am so used to it if someone I do not expect knows what I am I was be flabbergasted. Still, I am always far happier with a unknown custom costume, it just fits me better.

So, I have seen several of your costumes, and always been impressed. I wonder if you'd be interested in trying a Steampunk costume. It seems that it might be right up your alley. I'd be up for doing some work on this with you if you were up to it. Get back to me, and we may have a fun project on our hands.
