The Tinker Bell Half Marathon 2012
We ran as Wendy and Peter for the Tinker Bell Half Marathon, and boy was I glad. There were about 50 million Tinker Bells. I made both of our costumes from scratch. My costume was made from left over materials from my Alice costume. Both of our costumes were made to be able to run in. So, obviously my skirt is way short and his sleeves and shirt are shorter. We got an actual leather belt for him, but decided that this faux suede would be easier to move in. It fastens in the back, but uses no buckles or loops, it's a knot that slips to tighten. I have no idea what this knot is called, but I'm pretty sure I learned how to do it when I broke one of those plastic, adjustable things on a camisole top. Anyway, threw some Under Armor compression gear on under that and we both stayed warm on that early January morning.
Disneyland Half Marathon 2012
For this race, Adam re-wore Peter with a new shirt underneath to accommodate the crazy September heat. I ran as Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl from Toy Story 2 and 3. I hot-glued and then weaved white leather strips to and through my red visor. The yellow chest bit and brown belt were painted on with fabric paint and then the red bits and the belt buckle were drawn on with fabric markers. My shorts turned out to be cut-off jeggings after my internet order turned out to be less than actual active wear (I initially planned to wear those Under Armor shorts under them, but it was so hot and I feared digestively). I wore my compression socks under my cow socks and added some yellow arm bands in exchange for long-sleeve cuffs. I french braided my hair and wore a yellow bow in it, but you can't really tell in these pics. Anyway, my friend went as Stitch and look AWESOME, however, if you want more info about her costume, you'll have to ask her.
