My month of DIY costumes shot in front of the actual shooting locations continues!! Day 27 is here and it's my favorite Christmas movie. Today’s costume comes from:
Nothing says the holidays to me like Die Hard.
It's really become one of those family traditions... Chinese food on Christmas Eve, Gingerbread Lattes while looking at lights in the neighborhood, and Die Hard somewhere in-between.
Nothing is more memorable than Nakatomi Plaza in the film. It looks so sunset-y and pretty in the movie!
The in real life version is way bigger than it seems!
It's too good of a shooting location not to create a John McClain costume!!
This costume is perfect for a last-minute pick - tank top, a pair of cargo pants, and a plastic weapon or walkie talkie!
I grabbed my props and headed off to the plaza!
Bruce Willis is one of the action movie kings.
I just don't know how good I'd be with all of the stunts.
Nakatomi Plaza is tall, yo!
I did take a note from his performance. I went barefoot without issue...
...however Bruce, unfortunately, didn't have my same luck.
Glass + feet =
...a very unpleasant self-extraction party.
I was ready to take down Alan Rickman...
...just without all the bells and whistles below.
I'd love to do it from the ground floor.
Twenty-seven looks down, four to go!
