Some craft stores have them, but if you have a Fred Meyer nearby, check the home improvement area (back by paint n stuff). It usually comes in long sheets, about 2" thick.

Baller, there is a Fred Meyer just up the road, like 2 minutes away!
But.... your missing your your little balls.... all of them...
Yes, I know. I am hoping that going sans balls won't ruin the awesomeness of the outfit. I was thinking maybe ping pong balls or something, but I dont want to break this expensive suit.

I think cloth balls would be easier to attach. Try finding some winter stocking caps with red or black balls on the top.
I have also seen scarves with little cloth balls on the ends.

I have a prop pic!
It is my real ($40) working stethoscope sitting next to a super shitty prop I got a few days ago.
I have never used a real stethoscope on myself before. It is pretty cool. Not only can I hear my heart and junk, I
can hear the flow of blood and stuff. It is neat. If anyone wants to try it out during the show just come see me
while I am in costume. I will have sanitary wipes to wipe off the ear pieces with.
I got a costume question. Can you dye fake facial hair? I'm 99% sure it's not made from real hair. If you can't use regular hair dye, what would you recommend?
Also, how would you recommend getting an embroidered name tag made fast? Like, before PAX fast.

If it's not human hair chances are it's animal hair, which should dye the same (I don't really know). My gf says that there are embroidered letters that you can sew on whole, supposedly at places like Joanne's Fabrics.

I may end up in a janky costume of my own, it seems.

Apparently no one wants to see HotSake in a costume...
Ugh, I'm pretty disappointed right now. The goggles I ordered for my Dr. Horrible cosplay might not arrive in time. The site I ordered from cancelled my order because the goggles they had in stock weren't the color of the ones I ordered. They didn't contact me to tell me my order was cancelled, and I just now replaced my order and am hoping it'll arrive in time >_>

Wow, crap, ouch seriously, I hope they DO arrive in time *fingers crossed*
Costume: The Joker (A la Messr Ledger as other versions would take too much time to throw together) And yes, it's the Joker, he's all about fun and games.
Events: Round the clock, Uncle Joker will be around to provide laughs to PAX
Status: 50% (Just need the coat and vest)
Notes: What? The Joker is a past and future video game character (Look up Eidos' Arkham Asylum and tell me you do not want that). Will slide in and out of character on a whim. Should be with some other clowns including a DK-ized Harley. Photos and videos are always welcome, we'll want to leave you with a smile.

Now where did I say she would be better than gok? You presume that the little Harl tagging along with me is trying compete when she's just trying to be unique. For shame....*gasses.*

You did not say anything like that. I presumed nothing of the sort.
I was supporting the cosplaying prowess of goddesoffkats by expressing my belief that no Harley costume could
out-do hers. I invite your "little" (is she a child or a short adult?) DK Harley to bring her A game.
My comment was meant to be in the following spirit (banter maybe?):
My daddy could beat up you daddy! Nuh uh!
Uh huh! My daddy is stronger than 3 gorillas! Well my daddy is stronger than 2 rhinos!

Well, she'll certainly do her best. Poor thing has a fragile ego so try not to taunt her too mercilessly (She's just barey an adult, could pass for a teenager quite easily if she wanted to.)

well, my costume is looking like it may not happen. I've already invested a lot of money into it, but things are starting to go south. first, my fabric is a little see through, not a lot, and i could probably just wear white under alls underneath and it wouldn't be much of an issue. also, my sewing pattern doesn't really tell me well how to make different sizes, and i'm a complete noob at this, and also my friend's dad who is supposed to do all the sewing says it could take him a few weeks to get around to it. pretty sad, considering i'm over $100 deep.

Awesome in so many ways. If I was more prepared, I'd attempt a Raz cosplay. It's by far one of my most enjoyed games on PS2, especially for a 3D-platformer as I have trouble getting into them.

I have to know, where do you get a lab coat like Doctor Horrible's? I started looking frantically online for one, but I couldn't find one for the life of me. Where did/are you get/getting yours?
It's super hard to find a shoulder fastening full length lab coat that is as thick and sturdy as his is.

Unfortunately I couldn't find an exact one. It appears the coat they got was one they used for Firefly. So it's virtually impossible to find. I just used this one: http://www.buycostumes.com/Mad-Scientist-Adult-Costume/31798/ProductDetail.aspx
I'm going to switch the buttons with white ones and shorten the coat. Best I can do.

Oooo, nice find there! That is the closest thing to I've seen yet.
Yeah, with white buttons and a short-job, that would be BEAUTIFUL! Good one!
That sounds AWSOME!! ^_^ (referring to previous post(s)) and might I say officer.....REBOOT *tap tap* aaah, I LOVED that show...(still hope they are going to remake it like they said..)

Don't believe they were remaking it, but there was word of a movie. Not sure if it was supposed to be live-action or animated though. This whole thing might've been a rumor though, it was quite a few years ago.
