Belinda Christie has created the ultimate in Cinderella costumes: one that transforms from Cinderella’s poor, tattered dress into her ball gown. Other than this magical Cinderella get-up, Belinda recently also won the “Best Sci-Fi/Movie/Animation Cosplay” category at a convention in Salt Lake City. She was dressed as Merida from “Brave.”
In theory, the appeal of this pumpkin is that it’s a cool, no-carve idea for Halloween. But the real appeal is that it’s freaking rad! There are no specific instructions (beyond “use these bits of junk”), but you could take it in so many different directions…. You could go more steampunk or more traditionally fairytale elegant. You could add LEDs! (I’m always a fan of adding LEDs.) You could glitter that bad boy, or add rhinestones, or attach reins and horses. So many possibilities. Since I moved earlier this year, I don’t think I have the necessary bits and bobs to create such a fabulous pumpkin coach, but it would otherwise totally be my pumpkin of choice for this Halloween.
