Leg Avenue Golden Goddess

Product Information

Since Hermes is the messenger god with winged apparel, my son created several sets of wings out of cardboard. He attached one set of wings to an old pair of flip flops (or you can get an inexpensive pair) and spray painted the whole thing gold. He also made a helmet out of cardboard and a paper bowl and attached another pair of wings to that, and spray painted that gold, as well. My kids came up with this idea on their own with zero input from me. They decided they all wanted to coordinate, decided on the costumes, came up with ideas for the other family members, and I just followed along. I sort of feel like I’ve arrived in parenthood! 😉

For my Hera Halloween costume, I took an old white flat sheet and tied it around myself in a two-shoulder style. (It didn’t stay up super well, so I need to figure out how to get it to stay better. I also wrapped the gold leaves ribbon around my head. Additionally, I made cuffs from cardboard, then spray painted them gold and closed them around my arms with Velcro. Writing posts like this is a bit fun, and also, challenging. What do we visually consider a representation of a “goddess”? What cultures do we choose from and why?

They were inexpensive and impactful!

If you believe the tales, Venus rose from the foam of the Mediterranean Sea. As she took on her fair form, she became the ideal of beauty and love, taking on all the attributes of the most beautiful woman imaginable. Marrying the famously ugly and crippled god of the forge, Vulcan, she was one of the chief goddesses of the Roman and Hellenic pantheons. Despite literally rising from nothing, she came into her own and achieved such fame that she is known even to today. Now that is an influencer! Product Details
