Fun Stix are just a Wal-Mart name for 12 inch pipe cleaners, sold in the craft department. I spliced them together and sewed several of them into the hem of the bottom of the dress to help the tails splay outwards (the fake rose doubles as a prop to keep the tails out, btw).It was a good idea that worked, but went unnoticed--( just as I'd suspected). Everybody's eyes were on my best accessories, Gomez and Thing.
Alan created the "Thing" illusion entirely from scratch, using a fake hand to hold the box, and then rigging his real hand into the box through a hole in the suit, all the while supporting the box with a handmade belt rig.
Thing entertained all evening by lighting cigarettes and buying drinks.
Thank You Thing.
Good Times.(more KW: Morticia Addams Halloween Costume, Gomez, Thing, home-made, how-to )

Morticia,
That Gomez and THing really are amazing and win my prize. Even though your snazzy pipecleaner tails were such a labor of love and the shredded chiffon sleeves were so dramatic. You really had stiff competition. You and Gomez are very well suited as a couple.
I totally pooped out that night.
GK
I heart fun stix.
Ok I just wanted to say that.
But I do heart your gothic portrait by G to the K. you are quite the muse.
Take a moment to appreciate having a man with three hands...
Thanks for taking the time to publish a real important blog page, it's already been worthwhile.
