4th of July parade Juneau, Alaska

[spoox[501st]]

Here some pics of me in the local parades. We have 2 here. One in Downtown Juneau and one on Douglas Island.

 

Total time in costume: 7.5 hours

Injuries:

Bruised upper back of calf from thigh back corner

Swollen top of feet from shin armor digging in

1 blister on left heel

Bruises in elbow pits from lower arms

 

Not bad for a first troop! Costume had no malfunctions and considered the minor injuries it was quite comfortable and easy to move in

 

Fireworks at midnight (picture from newspaper):

 

 

Parade assembly grounds with fiancee as Captain America:

 

 

Posing in front of the truck:

 

 

Definitely more comfy then the clone armor!!:

Looks great! I'm always impressed when a woman can pull of a stormtrooper costume, nice work!

Congratulations on your first troop. Fun ain't it?

Hope you do not mind but I'm now using that first pic for my screen saver.

haha can you guys tell that the boots are like 1.5 sizes too big? lol. I added some insoles in them to fit a little tighter. the size 10 was the smallest size caboots had.
