"to Tina A on our Narnia photo shoot"
My daughter is the photographer...she sets
up the shots and her soon to be husband is getting really good at
getting good shots in there too. They took some friends who helped them
also. We love recreating costumes from movies and books, some people
think 'cosplay' isn't a worth while hobby, but we take alot of pleasure
in it. I've always been the 'costume mom', and now the kids are really
getting into prop making. He made that leather jerkin! Something like
1000+ rivets.
Oh my gosh! I can't wait to tell them what you
said about Christian Bale! He gets that all the time!! There is a
website called cosplay.com where they post their photos, and it's
amazing how many times he is told that! lol. Yes, I agree, he could be
a model. The thing is, he's as humble and Godly as he is gorgeous! My
daughter said she 'prayed him to her'...basically, asked God for him,
and it was a done deal! lol. Godly, pure, kind, loves kids, cats, and
well, all the things she does. They are both geeks, love Disneyland,
and now he's got a job working for a Property Management place, getting
his Real Estate License. I wish they'd push the wedding date sooner and
get started on some grandbabies for me!! lol.
Thanks for the
kind words, and for bringing a smile to my face! When they first told
me how many comments on the cosplay website were about 'Christian Bale'
I actually had to go looking for photos of the actor. It's kinda spooky
how much he does look like him. If the kids were down in SoCal, I think
they'd both be signed up to do extra work in movies and tv. My daughter
& I got to be extras in the movie "Serenity" and LOVED it. A dream
come true for his small town farmer's daughter.
Enjoy Narnia!...I can't wait to see it again, we have to take my husband to see it.
Oh,
just on the 'geek' note, the kids also made costumes for 'Tron'...all
the little 'geek boys' (and girls) who grew up playing video games
loved that movie. They made the 'original' Tron costumes, since they
love it, and are not sure if they will like the new movie (so many
remakes don't live up to the classic). They got to attend a Disney Meet
Up and go to elecTRONica in costume, and were featured on the Disney
fan site! Pretty cool.
