Ok, here is what happens when One Penn Plaza and some serious cosplay meet. Looking at the outfit, you can see how I worked things like the building's silver pinstripes, black and grey coloring, and overall angular look into the outfit. I also brought out the red and white of the building signage and lobby accents, and used those to make the costume less drab. And check out the belt buckle! One Penn security thought it was so awesome they let my friend and I into the lobby so they could get a better look. One of them said that the building manager would love it.



I also wore the outfit around NYC on Halloween, but didn't have the headdress done. So I got a braided black wig as a last minute substitute. If anyone asked, the braids were my elevator cables
