Description She was Amira
A Mighty Dancer
Forged in the heat of talent!

This shot was taken by Tim during Amira's double-sword dance as Xena: Warrior Princess. She's amazing! It was an honor to help make her costume.

The performance video is available to watch on my Youtube channel here: [link] and directly right here: [link]

(I) made Xena's dress
made Xena's armor (all of the lovely golden details) and edited the photo

Amira [link] is the fantastic model and performer

Special thanks for this costume go to our good friend ~KadajShinRa . She saved the day by adding some of the finishing touches (brads, lacings, and eyelets) when ~RikusWorld and I were busy making last minute fittings for the dress and armor the night before the performance. Bravo, and thank you so much ~KadajShinRa !

Thank you very much for the DD! What a wonderful surprise!

I was both happy and lucky to work on this costume with ~RikusWorld . We both love Xena and we want to help bring her back! I wish they would play the show more often, even if it's all reruns now. It was such an amazing, hilarious, and heartfelt show.

that is the best xena atempt i've ever seen!

granted i havent seen many but i have a feeling it wouldn't make a diference if i'd seen 11,00000000000,00000000,000000. replica xena costumes this would still be the bestest!

i miss that programe.

Thank you! ~RikusWorld and I (we worked on the costume together ) wanted the costume to be a tribute to Xena. How better could we do that than to have dressed up one of our friends who looks just like Lucy Lawless?

I was just impressed that so many different people with different talents worked that out together Synergism is more effective than competition. I hope you will have more of these projects I also saw the video. It looked like fun

So I can't even put into words how much I love this right now considering I used to want to BE Xena.
It's just...all kinds of wonderful.

And she even LOOKS like Lucy Lawless. Holy crap.

also what i ment was... (made a litle error in my first comment...

The craftsmanship is awsome. realy authentic to the real xena.. altho the person making the gabrielle cloths erhmmm il just be silent about that...

the dance was nice tho

Thanks for the comment! It's strange that Xena is retro now; it was on the air only about 10 years ago and it feels like yesterday. Both and I worked very hard to get Xena done - we only had 10 days to finish Xena, Gabrielle, and Callisto for the performance. We worked our hearts out on Xena and skimped on our own costumes because we wanted Xena to be the star. Updated, improved, and more accurate versions of the costumes will be debuted in the future.

yeah its wierd how so "recent things" can be so retro.. cheak out A-Team and airwholf or why not Fame? all those are retro.

on gabrielle i would go a bit more for the amazon clothes. it was that and the kimono that made her the most beautifull

the messed up thing tho is that there is noactual cool or good looking costume for calisto.. she always looks messed upp.

only costume that i think looks kinda ok atleast is when calisto was dead and tried to get xena trugh cesar.

one thing id think youd exell in whn it comees to costum design. woul probably be Vampire the masquerade or some steam punk things like fallout or sutch.

what evver you do you will excelle in it cause i think your a brilliant designer artist.
