Six-armed goddess Kali Costume

Step 5 Party in style!

There was quite a bit of detailing as well, that really helps to sell the effect. A lot of gold chains, nose ring, modified wig, ornamentation, and make-up. The identical gloves with the spray painted fake nails make it confusing to tell the arms apart.
I really love it when a project comes together in the end. This was a lot of work and a lot of trial and error. But the end result was different and fun. Most people thought I was Shiva, but quite a few girls actually recognized me as Kali. This costume worked great at the large social we went to, I was able to move around and dance with enough space.

A pretty obvious variation on this costume would be some sort of spider or insect. I think that would be cool to see. I realize being a Hindu Goddess may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoyed not being something super obvious. Basically everyone's reaction is "WTF?", and I like that.

Big ups to Andy Bart & Temperance McDonald, my go-to people.
