You seem like a nice young man.  Congratulations on the graduation.  There are photos of me on here as an 18 year old-------at least the mob isn't telling you that you look like Ralph Macchio.

Wolf Man, as I've said before... you have FANTASTIC vintage clothing.  What era is it from?  Circa......?

slayergriffith- You are one of my favotite young people! You are so wise beyond your years (judging from your excellent taste in movies and your well written posts), and I am proud to say that you are my monster friend!    Congratulations on your h.s. graduation! You are such a cool young man, and you will make the planet a better place to live. Your grandmother is gorgeous! And I should know, because I am also a grandma! She must be so proud of you. I hope that when you move on into all your adventures and reach all your milestones, you still decide to hang out with us slightly older monster folk. We all have our love of monsters/horror/collections in common, so it doesn't matter how young or young at heart you are! And if I may say so....you look pretty darn handsome! Good luck

Yes, ditto.  I would not have pictured you as a teenager (not that it's a bad thing).  Very well-written and great taste in films.  An excellent asset to the board, no doubt.

Wolf Man, as I've said before... you have FANTASTIC vintage clothing.  What era is it from?  Circa......?

Sean - Most of my photos for here are Victorian era clothing.  I am a reenactor and I am involved with a number of different time periods.  My specialties are 10c Viking, 1880's Old West, late 1880's to 1900 Victorian for monster/halloween stuff and 1906 African Safari.  There was a not huge difference in clothing from the 1880's to 1906 so many of the clothes will interchange.  If I put on a bowler hat and English riding boots while sporting a few different accessories I change from Old West Texas Ranger to an English gent from The Wolfman.  By putting on my stove top boots with long mule ears and spurs, a gun belt, a western style hat while carrying a coach gun then suddenly I transform into the Texas Ranger lawman aforementioned.  Wearing my English riding boots but changing into a Pith helmet and a safari shirt or jacket I easily transform into an English gent on safari, the great white hunter.  There are some subtle changes in collars, the cut of a vest, mostly the lapels and a few other things only the more experienced of costumers would notice but usually it is the accessories that make the transformations possible. 

There are a number of good web sites that offer the clothing.  I don't really have to have anything custom made although sometimes I do anyway just because I like a certain fabric.  The clothes are not cheap by any means.  I have an entire wardrobe of multiple period clothing.  i believe in point of fact that I have more costume clothes than normal clothes. 

If you watch either "The Day Lincoln Was Shot"  the last five minutes, or "Ironed Jawed Angels" about in the middle you will see me in either film wearing my own clothing.  When I arrived for the costume fitting for "Ironed Jawed Angels" I brought a bunch of my own clothes for them to evaluate.  The costume director recognized me and stated that I could wear anything i wanted because I was an expert and knew what i was doing.  I enjoyed the compliment and got paid extra for supplying my own clothes.  They did not have to costume me.  Of course, i also always have my own props. 

Costuming is a fun hobby and I am more than happy to help anyone out who would like to pursue it.  Some folks are naturals at it.  I had to study and learn a lot to get where I am and I have made my share of mistakes which are always costly. 

Since I am a huge monster fan pursuing Victorian clothes was especially fun.  So many of our favorite films are set in or around the Victorian time period.  I also have some really cool accessories that blow my mind sometimes the ingenuity of the people of that time.

I am always free to answer questions if anyone has any.

Thanks for the compliment too.

Here is an example of finer Victorian gentleman's clothes and I am sporting not only the Wolf Man cane but also the same vest worn by Ian Holm in "From Hell" in the scene where he brings a bunch of doctors to witness the frontal lobotomy at the hospital.
