I had to make a costume on the weekend for a shoot on Wedesday. I was already booked for Monday and Tuesday so I knew that I had to have most of it finished on the weekend and if there were any ajustments I could work on it during the evening. I got the image late Friday afternoon and spent the weekend searching for fabrics and then I finally figured out how to make the perfect trim!

The character is Mama San from Red Steel a first person action game from Nintendo. This is a picture of the character, Mama San and the second images is of our super cool model. We really had the perfect team and Yvette Redmond did the make up and drew the amazing tatoo!

I rarely go the grocery store, they seem to have so much weird stuff…

Traveling quite a bit makes me want a familiar hug and here’s a way to get more then just a long distance hug! Yahoo!

"The Hug Shirt (F+R Hugs) is a shirt that allows people to exchange the physical sensation of a hug over distance. Embedded in the shirt there are sensors that feel the strength of the touch, the skin warmth and the heartbeat rate of the sender and actuators that recreate the sensation of touch, warmth and emotion of the hug to the shirt of the distant loved one.

The System

The Hug Shirt is a Bluetooth accessory for Java enabled mobile phones. Hug shirts don’t have any assigned phone number, all the data goes from the sensors wirelessly to your mobile phone and your mobile phone delivers the data stream to your loved one phone and seamlessly is transmitted Bluetooth to the other person’s shirt (sounds complex but the operation takes the same few seconds it would take to send an SMS, or text message). You will be able to send hugs while you are on the move, in the same way and to the same places you are able to make phone calls (Rome to Tokyo, New York to Paris)."

"What is a conversation like between a handbag and a scarf?  How can
you mediate their conversation and when is your skirt allowed in on the
discussion?  As a woman is about to leave her house, her handbag may
solicit the weather forecast from the humidity sensor on its fellow smart
curtain.  It might deliver the news of an impending downpour by saying
"I think it might rain.  Go get your umbrella."  And after deliberating
with her coat pocket, the handbag may use ambient light to caution the
user if she’s forgotten her cell phone."
