awww! i want an omelet! :D

the real question is can i make my deadline?

body suit ordered. got the cheepy vinyl. i know, i know. its hot. so is that cursed flight suit. in the mean time i will save for the nice leather one from LA. that and the boots were a sacrifice to get vader done in time.

also ordered a set of SH gloves. pricey, but told they are worth it.

need cape, robe, chest box, cod and belt.

almost there....

As we discussed on the phone, I will probably have you covered on the cape, robe, chest box and cod piece. We just need to get together and make sure the pieces fit you good enough. :)

I was married to a woman named Kim... for over 12 years, she never made me an omelette. So what's the secret?? ;)

Now I'm married to a Tiaffany... she don't make omelettes either. hmm...

Can't wait to see the finished suit ! :D

I would recommend going with an MP3 player. You can get cheap MP3 players on Ebay and local stores for $20-30. The CD player is big and will probably skip on you when you walk.

definitely get a cheap mp-3 player, forget about he cd. i put speakers under the inner robe, i think that is the standard place to hide them.
