My friend decided to have a themed costume party. Her theme was "Queens" I think she was thinking RuPaul or England, but I was inspired by the Alien Queen. Plus it was a way to recycle some of the tubing from Penetrable.

The helmut was sculpted from polystyrene light diffuser sheet. I cut it into strips and screwed them together. I used the rest of the polystyrene to shape the shoulders and elbows for the sleeves.

The whole thing was covered in plastic vinyl boat seating covering. I used orange, because black ended up looking too fetish. I also recycled a bunch of acrylic gems and come cheap nail rings to finish the gloves.
