Originality, I See You But Can't Touch You

So as you know, I'm a sucky amateur glover. And I've been thinking about how to revamp my costume. I honestly should be getting a pair of gloves, currently looking at the pre-made "Gluttony" set by EmazingLights. But I started looking at pictures of one of my brother's glover friends and realized how unoriginal my costume is. Like, it fits together, but most glovers make their own. All I did was buy stuff online and put it on, played out. What I did notice though is that they all have something seen in every getup, that's accompanied by other stuff. There's one guy named Max Hatter that wears a giant hat in every pic, then the one I personally know wears a giant Cat Head all the time. They have an Alice In Wonderland theme going on. But I'd be "The Mask" because I'd have masks that I wear accompanied by hats. Then came the ingenious and original idea. Buy a sock monkey hat and a panda hat(Blue wanted one so it was in my head) and cut them in half and sew the halves together. Only problem is that they're wool so it'd be pretty complicated to do. But my white mask goes well with a fedora, and I can always wear a fedora with it and a panda hat. I still need to work on the originality aspect. The white masks cost me 5 dollars each and I can paint them. Blue gave me that idea. So either way I'm buying hats and acrylic paint to decorate my costumes. Then for the shirt I can wear my LED, accompanied by a whole bunch of EL wire or something. Or a tank top with EmazingLights on it. I could also go for "Pandaized" and build a custom glove set for it. (Blue gave me the panda theme altogether) Basically I get the mask and paint the black marks on it and wear the panda mask. Then my gloves will be black and white lights, yes there are black lights, and I'd practice tricks that utilize the coloring. I could have a mask to go with each hat, but I still don't know. Right now I only have two masks to use, both of which are white. If I go fedora I'd paint stuff on the mask still though to fit the fedora. Go for a mobster look.
