I had a much better idea!
And hopefully, with 3 weeks left to go before Hallowe’en, I can pull it off in time! ^_^
It’ll be cool if I can make it work. Cool enough to take to Dragon*Con next year (with a few modifications to take it from Safe For Work for this year, to Not Quite Safe For Work for D*C, of course ^_~)
I’m not saying what it is just yet, in case I can’t manage it in 3 weeks, because I know all my adoring fans *cough* would be distraught. I will say, however, that it involves these:

White ones, actually. But you’d never know it once I’m through modifying them! ^_^ Whee!
Not Quite Safe For Work? Is it Emma Frost?
Haha, nope!
Here’s a not-very-helpful hint: if I do it right, you won’t even know the boots started out white (and no, it’s not because they didn’t have the colour I need or something like that)
now that halloween’s over, can we find out what it was?
