Fun With LOST Megos: Kate Arrives in 1977 Dharmaville

I have been having a blast customizing my LOST Megos.

I have mostly been following my friend Scott's lead,

reproducing the outfits and props shown on his blog

The Island of LOST Megos

This is my first attempt on my own at a specific outfit for Kate.

She initially proved to be the most difficult on the

LOST figures to find a source for clothes.

Female Megos are not as prevalent

and wardrobe choices tend to be very character specific.

Then I discovered that some of the Bratz doll 

clothes fit the Megos nicely, thanks to my friend 

Rob Perrin and his blog entry that included a photo

of Kate in a Bratz dress. 

I started picked up assorted Bratz doll lots on eBay

and am in the process of assembling a nice assortment of 

clothes and accessories for Kate (and hopefully Juliet if

Wave 2 of the LOST Mego line has enough

pre-sales for Bif Bang Pow! to proceed with the July release.)

The first lot I purchased contained a pair of jeans and a top

that were a good match to Kate arriving in 1977 Dharmaville.

The top only needed minor alteration, just shortening and

hemming the sleeves. I had to remove all of the 

embellishment on the jeans and shorten them substantially.

  

I am really happy with the results:

I created the Welcome banner by printing out on a bumper sticker

and trimming to size. I took advantage of the adhesive backing to 

attach the banner to two dowels.

The lei is not accurate to the ones the new recruits received 

upon arrival to Dharmaville, but I wanted to have some

fun with it and create more of a homage to the REAL island, Hawaii.

I cut up a few silk flowers into small pieces and strung on dental

floss with seed beads as spacers. I like the ruffly effect that 

simulates flowers very effectively.
