Joe and Jessica can throw a good costume party. As we did 2 years ago, Angeline and I hit up the toons for inspiration. This time we went as Dora the Explorer and Go, Diego, Go!, respectively. Who were just as obscure as Venture Bros. to everyone in attendance. Oh well.
I didn’t do as much engineering with this one as I did with the Monarch costume, but I did do some craft work: I replaced the black strap on a $10 messenger bag with an orange strap, hemmed Dora’s shorts which were originally jogging pants (yay for my new sewing abilities), and spent an hour or so drawing out the logo for the button to the right in Inkscape. I only saw the logo for a brief period at Toys ‘R Us and then worked from a really low res bitmap, so I was particularly pleased with how that last bit turned out.
I only saw it in pictures, but I think Jerome’s baby in a pot costume was the best there.
