Our Mission: To protect New Orleans (The City) from tourists, gutterpunks, and other random villains while sipping whiskey. Evildoers, you face... The Tick (and Arthur!).
Alex and I made the majority of our costumes for Halloween this year. Alex did all of the fancy sewing with our skirts and bags. Like every other time we have made our costumes, we were working on them up until last minute. Alex's sewing machine malfunctioned a couple days before, causing some panic and fear of hand-sewing. Luckily, it was fixed in time and I made our antennae the day before using headbands with attached springs, cardstock, masking tape, and spray paint. Every Halloween and Mardi Gras, we swear we'll start on our costumes super early next time. It never fails. We end up super gluing/sewing/spray painting SOMETHING together as we're walking out the door to catch the streetcar to the French Quarter.
We were so surprised and excited over how many people actually recognized who we were (moreso than when we dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Mardi Gras this year). So, yeah, here are some pictures from Halloween night:
