Construction Details:

The top is a gray t shirt that I cut the sleeves off and hemmed with a backwards racer back tank top over it. If I were to do this again, I would combine the backs of a normal tank top and a racer back tank top. The pants are green skinny jeans from H&M. The boots were just ones I've had since high school. I used my real hair since it's pretty much the same as Boomer's, just a little longer. I had planned to make the dog tag but I ran out of time. I used my St. Raphael medal as a place holder.
The makeup was the most fun part! It's layers of mascara and red, purple, blue, black, and just a touch of green eyeshadow. I worried many people that day. It looked too real. Woops! I had actually intended to put gauze over my cheek like she has in the show but it ended up being too bulky for a night of shenanigans and I decided against it.

Personal Thoughts:

This was just a Halloween costume. I was almost done watching Battlestar when Halloween came around and my boyfriend is really into the show. I wore this to school on Halloween and fenced with all that makeup still on my face! My coach is also super into Battlestar so he appreciated it. There's actually a guy in the club who looks like Bodie Olmos that he calls Hot Dog. I want to get Microbabe embroidered on my warm up jacket, even though that's a different Eight. I might fix it up and wear it to a con someday. I would actually love to wear this to a con. I don't see a lot of Battlestar cosplayers walking around.
