LOL...yes its really me...wearing black head to toe (black sweatpants, black long sleeve turtle neck shirt and a black full-face ski mask I found at Dick's sporting goods). Its all EL wire - going for a Blue man group theme to sorta look like a sketch/scribble. The lead you see sticking off the arm was corrected with some electrical tape after the photo...thats actually where the wire gets connected to the inverter.
(Odd place but made it easy to connect/disconnect, plus I was going to make hands with gloves but ran outta wire.
The glasses were the best part...gave it a 3d "floating in mid air" look. I had a wire running from the inverter, up through the shirt down the sleeve to the arm, then back up the arm and up through the collar which then went to the face part and then the glasses. All unpluggable so I could remove the mask and glasses if need be. (also made an extra harness to JUST power the head/glasses for some driving around fun lol)
The wire was attached using tiny safety pins and I did stitch it, but my stitching was crappy and started to come apart so I left the safety pins in place.
On the inverter harness I used black computer fan plug headers soldered right to the EL wire, and used hot glue to insulate/reinforce them.
