:iconrejlan:'s Rejlan was Sanet's bodyguard for the Boiler Tour.

Reg Lahey: I learned something very important about Rejlan that most people may not know. It may seem like he's out of the way and uninvolved. To the casual observer he's completely removed from the situation and only there to watch the shenanigans. But if you really pay attention whilst various foolery is being committed, he *is* out of the way, but his smile would tell you that he is involved ... just not at this stage. I came to learn that he was more of a mastermind than he'd have you believe. But he is content to sit back with a Cheshire Cat smile and watch. There is a certain brilliance to it all that I have to admire and respect. Of course, I'm not saying he doesn't get involved and play his part in the tomfoolery. He does his part, for sure. And he can horse around with the best of them!

Matt Vitae: This was such a challenge for me. The idea here was to make this a companion costume to Sanet's. Fine! Great! I love Sanet's costume! However, Rejlan gave me two guidelines. No feathers. No body paint. Have you *seen* Sanet's costume? My brain just played cricket noises for about an hour when I was supposed to be designing like a person. I, literally, sat there and stared at my notebook. A person's requests are just that and it's my job to honor that. It's my job to think around it and still get a good result. And I think I did okay. He's got a light tight shirt, pants and gloves printed with the skeleton stuff and only face paint. And, I am relieve to report, no feathers. It's all rubber or metal. Ha! To my credit, it looks great. To his credit, he loved it and looked spooky as could be in it. Good for him!

I love how Matt is able to solve just about any wardrobe related problem. The cricket noises killed me. I actually could hear that!
And that doesn't even look that different. The headdress looks marvelous and no feathers are even needed. That face paint just really looks voodoish.And I love that coat!
