Team Zissou!
Sometimes I get requests. Usually I ignore them when they’re of the “Hey…wanna hem my pants?” category. Because, no…I really don’t want to hem your pants. I don’t even like hemming my own pants. Practical sewing is a chore. Creative sewing is a blast. 🙂 But then, every now and again someone wants something awesome….like a Steve Zissou costume from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou for their dress-as-a-favorite-character-from-a-movie birthday party.
Bill Murray as Steve Zissou, a most eccentric oceanologist!
Team Zissou!
When my friend Clay came to me with this request, how could a fellow Wes Anderson/Bill Murray fan say no? We started off with these.
Blue Shirt w/ Epaulets…just aching to be a part of Team Zissou!
White scrub pants!
Clay dyed the pants to an almost identical hue to the shirt (Kudos to Clay!), then handed me a bag with the pants, shirt, some blue material, and a Team Zissou patch he found online in it.
After a good bit of work, and much cleverness, his costume was ready!
All the props and accessories are Clay’s fine handiwork. 🙂
Zissou looks into the distance…
Clay’s costume rocked, the party was a blast, and Marty (aka “The Fella”)& I got to revisit our halloween costumes for the occasion!
We’re from the not too distant future.
If you can guess who we are, I’ll be verrrrry impressed by you! 🙂
Happy Birthday, Clay!

Hey! The future really WAS “not too distant”! 😉
Awesome work on the Zissou costume!
beautiful job!!
Gizmonics Institute, Mystery Theatre old tv show (I cheated, I Googled it-though I did watch it a lot at the time). You have fun friends!!
Excellent Dr. Forrester & Joel (I hope — the show was not quite as good when Joel left). No Tom Servo? (what a great name for a drink though!!!)
I continue to wish I had a working Tom Servo. And yes…a Tom Servo cocktail is in order. 🙂
I was JUST introduced to Mystery Science Theater 3000, it is SO funny. The robot friends crack me up, and my favorite movies so far were Hobgoblins and one about a weird cult and a guy named Torgo. Really the older the better.
I wish I were Steve Zissou.
Hobbbbbbbgoblins! Hobbbbbbgobblins! What do you do with Hobbbbbbgoblins?! They’re over here…They’re over there…:)
Torgo is my hero.
MST is our favorite. We own all of them. Even from the public access cable days. Yes. We are obsessed. 🙂
