Thanks! Those lace-ups were a real find. I was actually hunting for a pair of cheap platform boots, and striking out, when those caught my eye and I just HAD to have them. I've actually worn them once since then, not in costume!
The wig was a challenge - I tried braiding it before I put it on my head, and it just didn't sit right, so I had to undo it all and re-do the braids while wearing the wig (haven't braided my "own" hair since high school...you can imagine...). The hair was much longer than that, I chopped it off at an appropriate level.
I drew on the spider web tattoo using a black liquid eyeliner. Very tricky! Got the lab coat from the local university - they sell them to their chemistry students.
It was fun pulling it all together, and it was neat having a costume that almost everyone recognized, for a change.
