costume notes: This was the first costume I ever did that I considered to be ’sexy’. The berserker Rikku showed some skin, but it was not an overtly sexual design. It was was big leap for me at the time as I had previously felt very shy about that kind of thing. So I am proud of myself for the effort.

The whole costume is made of red and black stretch faux leather. It is very badass! I never got a guitar to go with the outfit though! I-no is supposivly named after one of my favorite musicians, Brian Eno who was once member of Roxy Music (which I heart a lot) and is probably more known today for his influencial work in art rock, and electronic ambient music.  Yep, he is pretty great.
