Oh yeah, you and Agent Elrond. How cute.

I told my classmates: Did you see Agent Elrond?
Agent who? Elrond? Sounds like a sausage.

(we are a little bit off-topic

)

I think I will deffinately dress up, my mate wants to dress up as a Wizard, I'll be an Elf and my other friend wants to be a Hobbit.

O, go ahead and wear them. You just will look less like a canonical Elf for it.

That's actually unresolved, Elf Girl. You should know better! Canon doesn't exactly specify against pointy ears either. (For those interested, I'm referring to the HoME 5 etymologies which specify under 'lasse' - that the quendi have leaf shaped ears.)

Elf Girl · 08-18-2003, 05:12 PM

Hmph. Some leaves are round. Some leaves are shaped like human ears.

And Tolkien said they were biologically the same species as Men. And at the time he wrote the definition for 'lasse' I think he was still using 'Elfish' and 'Elfin'. Much has changed.

Sheeana · 08-18-2003, 05:26 PM

The definition specifies that the ears were more pointed and leaf shaped than human ears. And this was well past his elfin/elfish phase. But this belongs to another thread altogether, so I will drop it. If you care to argue the point, I will join you on the appropriate thread.

omg, me and my bff have a whole big group goin in costume, its gonna be so incredible, i'm gonna be galadriel, and we're gonna have like the whole fellowship and other key characters, i can't wait!

Finarwe · 08-20-2003, 08:14 AM

Dreran, there is a nice homepage, how to make your own elven ears:
http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/Article/Ears.htm

As for me I'm going as an elf, too.
I'm to big for a Hobbit or a Dwarf, so I choose to be an elf:
Finnarwen Magloriel
Of cause, who else than Finny.

I'm just started with my dress: beautiful blue, some ornaments on it, nice juwelry, so far it is planed.
About the ear thing I'm not sure, somehow I can envision elfs with and without pointed ears, so I guess it a matter of how my friends dress up.

As an old Trekkie I now how funny it is, to go to such a movie in costum.

First I thougt about an orc-costum, but I have tickets for all three movies, and to be about 10 hours in such a costum, NOOOO thank's!

I tried to talk a girlfriend of mine, she is less than 1,6 meters high, into going as a Dwarf.
lol, her laughter was near Gimli's, when I told her about it, but I don't think she ment that as an agreement.

Maybe, we all can post our costumes here, when ready, or after the movie.

Dreran the Green · 08-20-2003, 10:04 AM

Oh, that'd be cool! And thanks for the homepage, Finarwe

I know exactly what you mean, love. Seriously, my town's the exact same way! They don't get excited about anything, and if you act even the slightest bit weird, they think your from Mars and go screaming off down the street to get the police. Well, not that bad, but close to.

But, maaaan, you guys are getting me sooo excited. I can't wait for ROTK to come out, and now I hafta make a costume to wear. I actually never thought about dressing up before. Ooooo, I can't wait!

Oh, if you just have some people that are costumed, it will be fun, belief me. I have been to several Star Trek previews and to a Star Wars movie and others, in costume.
It's only stupit, if you are the only one.

And a slight warning: Never go to a MIB-movie in costume and with sunclasses, when your town has a long street with many stairs just before you reach the cinema!

Rosie Gamgee · 08-20-2003, 12:12 PM

Hahahahahahahaaaa!! LOL, that's funny. I wonder how you know this . . . . .

Dreran the Green · 08-20-2003, 04:45 PM

lol. I can't wait for RotK! I will try to post a picture of me in my costume afterward, as soon as I figure out how to post pics

Which could probably be awhile...a really long while....ok, forever...hehehe, procrastinating is such a bad habit, oh well.

We've tested it! One of my friends hit a lamp-post!
Wasn't funny for him, but we (the rest) had our fun.

Lanelf · 08-20-2003, 07:39 PM

I'm planning on a nice cloak to wear, but I have no money or time to get stuff for it. Drat. But I
really will have it done for this Christmas! Really, truly!

Shadowfax · 08-25-2003, 01:51 PM

This summer I made Galadriel's silver and gold crown and I will definitely be wearing that to see RotK, even if it's just with normal clothes (no dress). I'll wear the crown and a dress if a couple of my friends dress up too, but if no one else does, I'll still wear just the crown. I'm thinking of making Galadriel's pin/brooch as well.

Rosie Gamgee · 08-26-2003, 07:43 PM

How in Middle Earth did you make that?

It took a lot of time and patience studying pictures of it on the internet, screencaps, etc, and drawing out and plan of how I think it all fits together. Then, I used a bunch of wire and stuff and made it! It was fun, but it took sooo long and sometimes it was very frustrating. Oh, and I just made the brooch yesterday, too. I was bored, so I sketched it out and used some left over wire and a lovely mother-of-pearl shell that I have, and crafted it all together (the brooch was much easier than the crown). I've taken a couple of pictures of them, so maybe I'll post those later.
