Apemania Appliance$

My lifelong dream is almost a reality!! In a few months, I will be the proud owner of a set of appliances...and I JUST CAN'T WAIT!! I better get cracking on my Zira costume and perhaps I can have everything ready for Halloween!! I'm excited and scared all at the same time. BUTTERFLIES are doing cartwheels in my stomach right now...

That's what my sister said when I started talking about getting some appliances. I had to tell her to focus...focus...

[Seeker]

Ahh yeah what are we talking about here? I was thinking stove, toaster and blender too. Its like wow what has she been using to cook with all this time?

[BlackKnight]

I wanna see the Giant ApeHead as an Oven,... or the Bola Shaped Frige.

Sweet. Can't wait to see pix!

I was stumped as well, not up on my prop lingo I suppose. I believe perhaps this is what she means. Appliance as in prosthetics. Our little Jessica is becoming an ape. Pretty cool.

Congratulations and good luck with your set of appliances.

[toys2cool]

so what are we talking about here?

[txteach]

I thought you meant like a stove and trash compactor. I was wondering how that would look in my kitchen. eeeewwwwww

[spiderrogue]

glad im not the only one that was "confused" by her ramblings(she does that a lot)....21 more to go.....

[HardyGirl]

So are you getting the facial appliances?

[jessica]

Yes, the facial appliances/prosthetics. I can't wait. This has been a lifelong dream of mine, and my dream is probably older than most of y'all.

I'm so excited...I will finally make a monkey out of myself! And just in time, too...for the 40th anniversary!

I wanted to show you guys (and gals) what I have accomplished after two nights of working on my outfit. I am putting this together without any patterns. I had to "MacGuyver" my own dressing form to help me with the hardest part of the outfit, the collar, but the outfit is coming out the way I envisioned it needs to look and I'm so excited at the outcome!!

Here is the outfit on my home-made dress form made out of a sweater that fit well but stuffed with material to make a form:

Here is the outfit with the hieroglyph that I embroidered while at the orthodontist's office when they put on my eldest boy's braces. It was the best two hour-wait I ever had. Wouldn't have minded if it had taken longer, because maybe I would have finished the entire hieroglyph.


I can't wait to get all suited up in ape regalia...For any of you ape maniacs out there, the green fabric is a Ponte Roma from Joanne Fabrics and it hangs so very well. It would even work well in Mego scale and it's the perfect color, too. The great thing about it is that it does not ravel because of the interlock weave, so the possibilities are endless. The fake leather is the same fake leather that I used for Jay's Lois Lane jacket.

Jess,
You are talented!
Looks fantastic, so far.
