.... Seeing how I'm the one that took the picture in question in the first place... and I'm the moderator here.. I guess I better speak up!
1. The lighting was terrible at FIDM... In person (with your own eyes) the costumes looked fantastic under the lighting they provided - the Sith Room being the exception because it was just too dang dark!. On film/digital pictures the images came out nothing like what you saw! No flash was allowed when I was there. No tripods were allowed. So when I took that picture of ZIA she had only ambient lighting on her while Zam had lots of lighting. Best I could do folks.
2. Foxbatkllr only asked if anyone was selling their fabric. Nothing else.
3. The color of the neoprene is something that we all know changes under light conditions... we can't agree on it. The best we can do is to agree to disagree. We each make our own color choices and should be allowed to make them without others picking them apart.
Behave yourselves gentlemen....
