Sometimes it's hard to find something for Dan. I heard some ideas on the radio, and one was Edward. I thought it would be HILarious to see this. Dan is 6'4" - that's a BIG ES. Haha. So I talked him into it. I bought suspenders, black gloves & a Greaser wig. The shirt, pants and shoes were his. I found a pattern for the scissor gloves online, which were made from poster board, painted silver and then hot glued onto the gloves. I messed up, cut and hairs prayed the wig to make it messy and then held him down and powdered his face and used brown eye shadow and a little black lipstick. Oh, and I cut and pinned the suspenders.

Favorite part: the whole costume, I think. He looked great!

Least favorite part: the poster board wouldn't stick to the gloves very well, and let's face it, he wasn't gentle with them, so they kept falling off, until he just took them off all together.
