So…
I don’t play video games, but my son decided he wanted to be a character from Half Life 2 for Halloween and suggested we follow suit. Oh sure, whatever. I hadn’t come up with a costume yet anyway. Then he told me that he thought I could play Alyx Vance.
Who?
This looks like a job for Google! So I found an image and posted it the book of Face with the thought that I could probably pull that off.
Received the comment of
How much would be “costume” and how much would be “Saturday?”
Hmm, thought I. Without purchasing a single item, how close could I get to that look?
Well…
You tell me.
Never try to be what you aren’t
Dang skippy! Just need the headband and you’re there!
There’s a headband. The curly hair is hiding it
All you need is a Black Mesa hoodie and a headband. They have the hoodie at Think Geek 😀
Wow…just missing the gloves and the bandage…too funny!
Its Jennifer….the bandage will eventually come. Don’t worry!
Spot on!
ROFLMAO.
That’s getting some linky love.
Point of order! You have a red band and Alyx does not. 😛
There’s gotta be some discrepancies to avoid copyright infringement. Although, with the tactical toaster ™ in hand, I don’t think anybody’s gonna argue that point with her.
Way to turn it out, you bad-ass!!!
This is so full of win, I’m having a hard time believing it.
Outstanding. Think Geek has Black Mesa hoodies to nail the look, but I’d call them pricey as far as hoodies go.
One thing’s for sure – you’re going to get all the candy you want this year!
Nothin’ but net.
Um, your shirt is tucked in — too long to correctly expose the top edge of the jeans waistline. Not saying to go for the navel exposure, per se, but the jeans could also lean a bit further toward what my generation called a “hip hugger” look.
Looks warmer, much more mature, not as edgy a “mayhem and frolic” mindset. And should do nicely for any Halloween themed purpose.
Dayum, young lady
You look eerily like my mom when I was twelve. All you need do is dye your hair dirlty blond with streaks of grey and have an unfiltered Camel hangin’ off your lip. Mom didn’t carry but she had a 4″ S&W Mod.10 in the top drawer of the kitchen cabinet with the wax paper and her kitchen knives. An Idea how long ago this was is that I’m now 69 goin’ on 17.
Yeah, but with the gun phobes around, you need an airsoft gun, even in your own homw, answering the door, to hand out the tribute, err goodies.
I’m going as G. Gordon Liddy in that case…
Heh, looks more like the normal Saturday to me… And eerie is right… 🙂 I remember the Laura Croft get up from Blogorado too… Gonna start calling you the Chameleon!
Looks right to me.
Nailed it!!!
I went as Handy Manny. With a booboo 🙂
