Where to buy a YELLOW/GOLDEN whip/lasso???
5This is a serious question.
So my niece decided I need to dress up with her for halloween (this is tradition), but this year she picked my costume and apparently I will be Wonder Woman.
So as I am procuring pieces I am challenged to find an adult sized Lasso or Whip (that may be more fun). I can find them in black/brown, but no golden or yellow. Any ideas???
And before y’all ask, I am having my THIGH HIGH WW boot covers made, because they do not exist, only knee high and that is kind of meh!

You can get yellow or gold colored braided vinyl or poly cord at most hardware or marine supply stores, in a variety of sizes, and you can make a handle from a piece of chair leg dowel. Then lay it out, give a very light coat of thinned varathane for shine and sprinkle some very fine glitter along the length. Then tie some one up and make them tell the truth of what they think of your boots …
@stolicat ooohhh I like the glitter idea. Might do that with the rope @riotdeamon found!
Lets hope the boot covers look good. I dropped the material off to my seamstress last week with a picture of what I wanted. She is currently hunting for a pattern she can modify.
Try Amazon.com.

@medz yeah I got that one for my niece. It is TINY and would look really odd for an adult. I almost think it is too small for her and she is seven.
@tinamarie1974 This one is about 9 feet long, but no lights.

@medz well damn, that one is longer! I mean um, size does not matter
@tinamarie1974 I’ve never heard any complaints about my lasso.

@medz
How about just painting a length of rope w/ some gold spray-paint?

@RiotDemon that was perfect, I don’t know why I didn’t think of Ebay.
Thank you!
@RiotDemon @tinamarie1974 I checked Etsy, which is oddly accommodating for items such as you need, but the eBay item looks perfect.
I see plenty of gold colored paracord on ebay; might be a little thin on its own but maybe braid a few together. Which would be its own fun project…
THIGH HIGH WW boot covers, $34.50; “Adult”-sized lasso of truth, $5.99; matching youth-sized lasso $8.10; rest of costume from various sources, $72.37 and 6 hours of assembly; spending Halloween with your 7-year-old niece, priceless!

So wait what color do you want? The title says yellow or gold and yet the text of the message says not those colors.
EDIT - blame the goat for that.
@Kidsandliz I was looking for yellow/gold but was only finding black/brown. @Riotdeamon found a nice one on ebay that I purchased though! So I guess an unblame for the scapegoat is necessary
@JnkL picks the captcha photos
@Kidsandliz @tinamarie1974 yes! Escaped the blame!
@Kidsandliz @tinamarie1974
I understand that we won’t get to see a photo. And I agree with your reasons for that.
But … I bet the whole effect is quite excellent!

@f00l @Kidsandliz Thanks, I hope so!
Actually I just want my niece to be happy. And when she saw my costume last week and realized I did not have a lasso, she was pretty upset. How could WW NOT have a lasso. OMG
For a Halloween costume…sure, sure it is… uh huh. Ok Tina Marie!

Anyway I already have a flogger and a cat-o-nine tails. Why would I need/want a flimsy golden one
It would be hard to not love our Mehtizens.
To be clear, you should be sticking with a lasso if you want authenticity.
I am sure you have read about the background of Wonder Woman’s creation. If not, you really should. You would find it very interesting.
@Limewater I did, I purchased the lasso @riotdeamon found on Ebay
