Gold Early Bday present and halloween

I was a warlord for halloween. A friend bought me a sword for my birthday and used it with my costume. She bought it for me knowing my love for dragons. Funny thing is I had gone to a celtic festival and one of the booths had swords and other things on display. She saw me look at it and figured i might want it. I had returned to the stage area to listen to the music when she put the sword in my hand.

Pieces I bought to tie the dragon sword to the costume

The sword and scabbard.

Whenever I look at the first two pictures I can't help thinking those balloons don't stand a chance! I'm curious about the band around your head. Was it cloth or is it metal? Good costume!
