*** I apologize right away for the picture quality, let alone the way the costume is presented.

This is my halloween costume. I'm being Helga Pataki from Hey Arnold! With the help from my sister, ~neptune42, we took old t-shirts and make a great costume out of it.

The wig was bought from Party City...y'know a nice cheap wig. I styled it myself and used part of an old t-shirt for Helga's pink bow. I'm still having problems getting the hair to stay up like it should but fair amounts of gel, hairspray, hairglue and even hot clue will get them up somewhat.

For the line in Helga's dress, I bought some red fabric markers and just colored...and colored...and colored. The dress is a little short, so I have to wear shorts underneath to keep the world from seeing my underwear.

I managed to find plain white shoes that my friend is letting me keep. After Halloween, maybe I'll get someone to paint them with a Hey Arnold! theme just as a tribute.

A friend is lending me a locket she made to be just like Helga's Arnold locket. It's gonna be legit.

Here a picture of Helga Pataki:[link] I think it looks pretty accurate

Do not claim this as your work, otherwise I won't be too thrilled.

I love this. I was actually Isabella from Phineas and Ferb last year, this year all I need is a blonde wig for the costume. :D Yes, I'm planning on being Helga Pataki ten months from now.

This made me start thinking "What if Nick and Craig atleast let communities do a Hey Arnold play sice they are not currently responding to our sayings of bringing new seasons and movie?
If it works then it would meen some HA back and a step closer to season 6 and TJM."
