How do I size things up? I'm going out as a member of DEVO for Halloween (for about the fifth year in a row...), and since the yellow radiation suits are expensive AND hard to come by now, I'd like to try and go for the "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxH39QlRuhg">Whip It</a>" video look. I need a sleeveless black turtleneck, which is a women's fashion item.<br> <br> Now, I'm a 5'9" male, about 190 pounds, and wear an extra-large shirt. Women's sizes are NOT so simple. What size should I be looking for?<br> <br> <small>Oh, and I already have an Energy Dome.</small> tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.73596 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 09:34:34 -0800 clothing costume devo halloween size turtleneck womensclothing SansPoint http://ask.metafilter.com/49504/Im%2Da%2DDevoted%2Dfan%2Dof%2Dthis%2Didea Los Angeles Costume Help: In search of one of the famous red multi-level hats that members of Devo have worn in numerous pictures and in the <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=LhDCXXvK0QE">music video for 'Whip It'</a> I have few costume events coming up this season, the first of which is tomorrow night. I'm going to dress up as one of the guys from Devo's Whip It video (black shoes and socks, black shorts, black shirt with cutoff sleeves). I don't have a whip yet, but I figure I can either find one at a run of the mill Halloween shop, or make my own out of a belt or even duct tape. If I find some, I'll pick up some big clear sunglasses too. What I'm really missing is the key part of the costume -- the trademark red hat. <br> <br> I'd like to buy one, if I can find one in a local costume shop. Anyone know where I can pick one up in the LA area? There are a number of online shops selling them, but I need one ASAP. If I really can't find one I can always <a href="http://www.cockeyed.com/incredible/devo/devo1.shtml">make one</a>, but I'd rather have one that looks nice and won't fall apart after five minutes.<br> <br> To make this costume extra-annoying, I am going to be carrying around some miniature speakers in my pocket that are going to be blasting the song on loop all night. Fun times! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.49504 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 13:32:20 -0800 costume devo halloween hat adamk
