I made this vinyl outfit for Ggreg Taylor's Forgotten Opera party in June 2003. The party was a blast. The design was partially inspired by the art of Kim Hyung-Tae, who designs characters for Korean video games. I learned about her from AJ, who taught me to buy artbooks from overseas for lots of money on eBay. And I just found out that there is at least one sequel to the artbook that I already have. Crikey.

There are two inscriptions in Tolkien Elvish on the pants: one on the right thigh and one on the left calf. If anyone out there can read Elvish... how's my grammar?

In a strange twist of fate, a picture of me in this outfit was printed in one of those corny little events magazines that they were handing out during Pride Weekend 2003 in San Francisco.
