Hydra is reborn. Amazing what wax paper, color laser printer, rolling pin, a borrowed rugby medal and blue tack can do. Downloading the insignia from the Marvel website, I proceeded to give new life to an old medal.
The Knights Cross of the Order of the Iron Cross was a carry over of the legacy of the Red Skull. The grey trench coat was a find at Castaways, St. John's Cathedral. An amazing acquisition for HK$80.00 and the nugget of inspiration for this costume. It's a Shin Hosagawa for Pashu design.
I was mistakenly called Darth Maul on too many occastions, yes, the current iteration has the Red Skull with lots of prosthetic detail on the head and a great leather outfit (which is way beyond my ability to create) so the clues to my identity were there around my neck.
Once incident which I wish could have been caught on film went a little this:
"Sir", said the Indian fellow, "Stop please, let me tell you who you are."
"Ok"
"You are Darth Maul of the great and wonderous Star Wars"
"No, I am not"
"You are"
"No"
He turns to confer with his cohort of Indian friends, they all reach the agreement that I am Darth Maul.
"mmmmm We are believing that you, good Sir, are Darth Maul"
"Sorry gentlemen, but your Jedi mind trick will not work on me, I am not Darth Maul"
At that moment a drunken party goer falls out the door of one of the bars and shrieks in a heavy Danish accent "It's dah Red Skull!"
The Indian gentleman says "No we are believing that he is Darth Maul" To which the Danish drunk speils out the whole wikipedia in drunken monologue of Hydra and the Red Skull pointing to and espousing on the Iron Cross and the Hydra insignia.
Hong Kong, LKF and Halloween, it's weird how some people really know and some just haven't a clue!
The Red Skull is the Supreme Overload of the Army of Hydra. So I took it to the streets with my minions to initialize our nepharious plot to rule the world.
And hit the Dead not Alive Party wth my sidekick..
Dead not Alive party at Zuma, a great venue and place to meet up with friends.
And have my way with the wenches.
Of course I had to fight the fights that need to be fought.
And here, I unleash the Ultimate Bitchslap!
And spun Captain America around in his super hero costume.
