Well, wouldn't it basically be a big round ball with little gold wings on either side? You could use a beach ball or big yoga ball or something as a pattern then attach wings. That's all I got.... (I'm the non-sewer in a family with an amazing seamstress and a professional clothing designer--I knit and do needlework--I hate sewing and it hates me). You could probably even hot glue gun the whole thing together! OK I could not resist. I love Halloween and I love making costumes! Here is my take on a Golden Snitch Costume. Since you said you are not "crafty", I just picked things that could be assembled. I found this beautiful drawing of a golden snitch and started with it.  I think you can make a costume for about $70 plus some found items. If you are willing to make the wings, you could save $10. If you switch the BBop Ball to a big yoga ball and paper mache it will save some money. Materials:BBop Ball $39.98 www.hearthsong.com/Outdoor-Play-Toys/BBOPand174%3B-Ball.htm?aff=10051&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PLA&utm_campaign=PLA&utm_source=Bbop+Ball&gclid=CLSflNvsvsECFeZAMgodIjoAlgwww.amazon.com/HearthSong%C2%AE-HearthSong-BBOPTM-Ball/dp/B009E8LPDKGold Spray Paint (it has to be acrylic or other flexible base) - S01765 Krylon Acrylic Enamel Aerosol Gold Spray Paints $4 Note: If you don't want to wreck the BBOP Ball or don't want to spray paint something, you could wrap it in gold paper (the plastic wrapping paper is very sturdy and very shiny).Gold Isis wings, child size - $21.99 at Amazon www.amazon.com/BellyLady-Belly-Dance-Costume-Egyptian/dp/B00I3A5TDWSuper Glue, Instant Bonding, 15g Bottle $3.25 SeasonsTrading Child Black Hidden Face Mask Hood ~ Halloween Kids Costume - $3.88 at Amazon www.amazon.com/SeasonsTrading-Child-Hidden-Halloween-Costume/dp/B008W6HIGIBlack clothes. Instructions:1. Start with the BBOP Ball.  Spray paint it gold. Now attach the golden wings -- I would use glue, you could use tape.  Have your daughter dress in black. Add the black hood/head cover. Put on the winged ball.  Your daughter will now be a golden snitch! Ha!! What an awesome layout! I've never seen those BBOP balls before. And I could really do something with those Isis wings....*much* better than the pillowcases being proposed over dinner ("I need to FLAP"). And safer than anything with springs (because while I am indeed geeky enough to have some random springs lying around, they aren't big enough springs).  |

I am stunned!!   After Before [cocks heads; stares at photos from a few different directions] You know, it's weird. I can't tell *what* she's had done. But the overall effect is that she looks like her own cousin. Obviously related, but not the same person. But the individual components are the there: lips (check), chin (check), nose (check), etc. So why she looks so startlingly different is puzzling to me. To relate back to Adam....STAY AWAY FROM THE KNIFE BB! I know he's talked a lot in the past of being insecure of his looks, but he's really grown into them in the past 5 years without any apparent help other than a lot of green smoothies and a hellva lot of exercise (and frankly he never looked bad to start with). But the Hollywood scene has a lot of funhouse mirrors, and when I see odd surgery jobs on previously lovely people it makes me sad and regretful for them. ( my bold above)..... ....and some help from Botox. No smoothie or early morning run got rid of his frown lines! I dread that he will have some kind of surgery on his perfect face. I know it's his face, his decision, etc. etc. But I would still hate him to start looking like someone else - like Renee. It's hard to relate to her in these new pics, as the same woman. I agree - impossible to tell exactly what she has done to make herself look so completely different. I wonder if her jaw has been re- shaped. Is that even possible? |

I think that she's lost quit a bit of weight so her apple cheeks are gone and her face looks longer. Also, her eyes were hooded before and I think she had some eye lid work done to change that. She claims that her appearance has changed just because she's healthy and happy now and denies any surgery. |

Dead thread, but as to Adam having cosmetic surgery. He may give in to the temptation, sadly. But I do not think we will see any reshaping of his face or nose because he would not do anything that MIGHT alter the sound/tone of his voice. He knows that it is is voice, above all else, that is his unique signature. Not gonna do anything to risk that.
