As you might remember, the night before Halloween I was in a panic, in need of a graphic for House's PPTH ID badge for Koda's costume.  You guys came through for me; [profile] hithaheven sent a scan of House's dosimeter!  I'm so grateful for all the enthusiastic assistance, and I'm sorry for the delay in posting the pics; I'd intended to get them up yesterday--but I spent yesterday morning at the dentist, and the remainder of the day wishing I was sleeping, and--when I was lucky--actually sleeping.

Koda's costume was the hit of the party, and then later, at Walgreen's, we wound up being there an extra hour because everyone there wanted to admire him--and baby!House ate it up!!!  Several people told us it was the best Halloween costume they'd ever seen!  Unfortunately, the pictures don't even begin to do him justice, as--for some reason--they show his hair and stubble as much darker than it was; the grays and silvers and paler browns weren't picked up at all.  You'll have to take my word for it that it in fact looked very much like House's in color (if not in length; oh well).

Koda told me afterwards that it was the best Halloween--and the best family birthday--he'd ever had.  So again, my thanks to all for your assistance in making this happen!!  


As usual--click to enlarge:

*laughs hysterically*

Oh, wow! I mean -- I had no idea it would be THAT cool! The makeup job is amazing, and so is Koda's acting!

Wow. Oh, this is too wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.

That´s amazing. Great! Congratulations to Koda and you. Koda looks really like House. I never thought that would be that good. Really!! The second House is Koda. It´s really wonderful. Thank you for show us the pictures. It´s a big fun to see them.

Those are fantastic! He has the slouch and the stare down perfectly, and the costume and make-up are amazingly accurate.

Wow! That one pic especially, of Koda with the motorcycle helmet under his arm -- he really looks like a young House!

Great job, you guys! I can just see him palming some Tic-Tacs! Hee.

Great photos, Ko looks amazing and the makeup job is great. It really seems like he's enjoying the party immensely and had a great time. His impersonation looks like he's got the part down pat.

Koda looks great! He makes a wonderful Dr. House. Glad you both had a fun time. My son was Spider-man for Halloween and believe me he can put the real Spider-man to shame when it come to climbing walls. My daughter has a thing for Orlando Bloom so she had to be a pirate this year.

Okay, I am very scared at how real that facial hair looks AND how much like House your little boy looks. He's even got the mannerisms down. Thanks for letting me get a look!

LOL (literally -- I am giggling here in the office!) That is WONDERFUL! I love his cynical glower!

He only needed you to be Wilson ;-)

THAT IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!

The makeup is fantastic! Makes him look older and the stubble is amazing!

Love the little flame cane! Did he have the limp down too?

Koda's expressions are perfect!

You guys rock!

Question: What did you use in his hair? I've been trying to find something to use on my doll's hair to grey up the sides a bit.

Fabulous! Your son is adorable, and the costume is wonderful. I love how he is unsmiling in all of the pictures, very in character. The cane is espessially fantastic.

Oh, thank you for the photos! You two did a fantastic job! As everyone before me has said, the makeup and hair job is outstanding. And I love all the places you picked for photo-ops, especially the handicapped parking and the employees-only door. (The helmet-as-prop deserves a mention too! Gotta love the attention to detail you two put into this.)

I'm so glad you both had a great time. Despite his Housian scowl, Koda looks like he's really enjoying himself.

(I love the clip/holder for the dosimeter! Did you happen to have a dosimeter holder of the right size kicking around somewhere, or how did you make that?)

Thanks so much for sharing the photos. Well done, both of you!

Wow! Just... wow! Koda is so House-like! The frown, the posture, the intense stare... Great! You did a fine job on the make-up,too, making him look al weary. I love all the details (motorhelmet, Handicapped Parking-sign, cane - however did you get a cane with flames, did you do those yourself??). Thanks so much for sharing!!

Greetings!

Awesome indeed! And as others have said, he's got the look down pat! Took me a couple of tries to notice that his eyes are not blue, even. :-D

Glad y'all had a wonderful time!!! :-)
