More Info...
This Klingon-spoof costume was designed for a presentation entitled, "Lone Worf and Club". After chugging a carton of milk, my chest would inflate with CO2. Then the MC (Marty Gear) read: "Milk, it does a Klingon BETTER.." Okay, maybe not the best skit I ever conceived but people laughed. At the time, I was more concerned about designing a realistic-looking Klingon head. Since the majority of Klingon heads back then resembled chocolate-dipped rubber crabs, I made mine from leather. Soaking the leather in boiling water and carefully shaping it. The forehead ridges were hand-stitched into overlapping wrinkles. I darkened the leather using vegetable dyes, in an attempt to make it flesh-colored. Unfortunately, the leather was much lighter than my natural skin color and I didn't want to sweat under layers of make-up. The judges didn't seem to mind, and were impressed with my leatherwork.
