Cape Town Book Fair 2009

As every year, the annual Cape Town Book Fair is happening again for four days at the Cape town International Convention Centre (CTICC). The programme of the event can be found at www.capetownbookfair.com.

As usual I will be making a Spider-Man appearance on Sunday at 12 at the Readers Den stand.

Getting more Zentai suits

The time has finally come to get more Zentai suits over eBay as I did last time. The choice came down to three vendors where I now have to check specifically which one has what I am looking for. This time I also need to get Zentai sutis in different sizes, especially of those for females. If I get lucky, I can also get replacements for a black Spiderman mask and gloves that went missing, as well as black eye masks for my Incredibles costumes which also went missing. My local suppliers are causing too many delays or just ignore requests.

My first Zentai suit

Yesterday one of the two long awaited Zentai suits has finally arrived. I knew it will be a bit of a tight fit but it will not be too small. The suit looks more or less like Spider-Man, but not quite the same due to copyright.

It is really amazing how well the suit actually fits and it is nice and comfortable to wear because it is a nrea perfect fit. The mesh for the eyes causes a bit of eyesight problems which means that a lot of detail is gone, but it doesn't make me blind. Even the fingers are perfect length and can be used for typing unlike most other gloves.

Originally I bought the Zentai suit on Ebay from a company in China. The shipping was a bit expensive, but otherwise it might not arrive at all. Communication with the company by email was also quite good with delivery and quick service.

Free Comic book Day coming up again

This upcoming May the 5th, I will be yet again helping out in my usual clothing (Spider-Man). This will be the third time that I am helping out at the event there at the Readers Den in Claremont.
