First draft on the beegirl costume. It still needs a little something more black on the upper body, I think -- perhaps a low-slung leather collar or a black velvet scarf. But I'm overall pleased with it.
This is definitely an outfit that requires an assistant. I of course need to be laced into the corset. Although I actually have the eyes mounted on a pair of glasses behind the mask, the holes in the eyes are tiny and only allow limited tunnel vision, plus they tend to fog up after a bit. Also, the boots have 4" heels, which means I may want a bit of help navigating stairs and the like. (If anyone wants to volunteer to accompany me for a while one night at Midwest FurFest, you will be richly rewarded.)
I'm aiming for disturbing, yet sexy. What do you think?

i had an idea for the eyes, even on a gas mask. i bet you could find a remnant of gold or black metallic fabric for a couple bucks at a craft store. if you dipped it in stiffener and molded it to a large (sugar) easter egg mold, you'd have almost those eyes above when you lifted it clear. the fabric is really thin and fairly see through-able. not that easy to pick out features underneathe it though.
this idea could be adopted to cover eye-holes of a gas mask.

BOOM.
