Got a part-time gig at a Halloween store. There's more fake mustaches there than I know what to do with. I get a pretty healthy discount (30%) so if any of you would like to save some $$$ on your Halloween needs, let me know.

I'm sure a handful of items. Hat, fake lashes and the like. I'm not sure if we have the cod-piece but we might have a comparable jump-suit.

Yeah, I figured it would be cool and I was intending to do it since about June.  Now I'm running out of time and if I can't get it together this week I'll have to pull something out of my ass.  Dr. House Redux?  Very original.

The trickiest part of that costume is going to be the cod piece. However, you may be able to doctor something up with a jock strap and a pair of tighty whities in a pinch.

Also, I can fully attest that RI Costume has shit for hats. They have cheap felt bowlers, but I don't know what quality you're looking for.



White suspenders are going to be a bitch too.

I just ran through it and yeah, the codpiece and the white suspenders definitely are the kicker.  Quality wise I really can't be too picky at this point, I put it off too long and I just need to get it together, so a shitty felt bowler will be fine.  I'll scour a few 2nd hand stores to see if I can pick a nice one up on the cheap.

The codpiece I was thinking a jock strap as well.  The eyeballs on the sleeves I figure I can get some cheap fake ones and just glue on?

Hey, is that a jumpsuit or is it a separate pair of pants and a shirt.  Honestly the jumpsuit might be easier.

Boots I've got a haggard pair of Doc Martens and the cane I guess can be a shitty plastic one from a Halloween store.

Basically I blew it this year, hah.

suspenders:  http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Accessories/Suspenders/White-1-Suspenders-896006.jsp

the eyeballs you can buy cheap rubber ones, slice in half and just stitch to the sleeves.
i used a shirt and pants

i think the codpiece is fencing gear isn't it? Or boxing or something?

I'm pretty sure Men's Wearhouse and/or Mr Tux will have white suspenders.

Did some google searching, you'd expect somebody to sell those things, right?

if they are even available, they seem to be pretty fucking rare, saw some notes of people naming prices like $100-200 and words like "exclusive" ..

If some crafts person here knows how to make a decent-looking pair, I bet they could make a fine buck out of it. Or would that violate Transmetropolitan's copyright? I'm not really sure, but if it's just a real funky pair of glasses, is that a copyright violation? (I bet some of the cosplayers here could answer that?)
