This is a perfect costume for red heads, or those who aspire to burning locks and deadly kisses. This is actually an easy costume to assemble out of what you have at home and a few bought items. * The Hair Poison Ivy is famous for her shocking red hair. I went to a store and picked up a box of temporary red dye that lasted a couple of months. If you arent up for the commitment, spray-in hair color is available for about $2.00 that will wash out easily. Wear your hair down and use a large-barrel curling iron to make voluptuous waves throughout. * The Outfit Get a green leotard or short dress. At the craft shop, buy up some fake leaves that are commonly used for flower arrangements. You can also head to your local thrift shop to see if you can find an old fake houseplant to butcher. You will need about 30 leaves. With a needle and green thread, loosely attach your leaves with one or two stitches in a few places on your dress or leotard. Get creative to make them crawl up your side and around your body. * The Gloves Get your hands on any pair of long gloves that will at least reach your elbows. You can dye these green. For leather or vinyl gloves, use a green spray paint. * The Legs - Purchase a cheap pair of green fishnet hose, or use a pair of regular panty-hose. Put the hose on and carefully stitch leaves here and there along the hose, wherever you think they will look best. Avoid the knees and ankles. I like to make mine crawl up the sides of my legs as though they were on a vine. You can also get a pair of knee-highs and stitch leaves all around the top of the stockings. * The Shoes In the comic, Poison Ivy wears tomato red heels. If you are going for the movie look, find a pair of tall boots at the thrift store and spray-paint them a dark green. I used light and dark green to make a gradient of color from the top to bottom. * The Face Poison Ivy wears basic makeup with thick eyelashes. You can buy fake eyelashes if you want, but mascara will work fine. If you like, you can use face paint to pencil on a few vines and green veins along your temples and cheekbones. Be sure you have a stick of shocking red lipstick with you at all times while wearing this costume. Its Ivys kiss that is her most deadly weapon.
