Tron Siren Costume: Hunting For The Bits And Pieces

So I just picked up one of the light-up Tron identity discs on Ebay.
Not super cheap, but they don't manufacture these anymore, and cosplayers are scrambling for them. I still got a pretty fair price compared to how much they are usually going for these days.
I went ahead and bought the black one.
Considering that I'll have to take it apart to bare bones and modify the lighting and wiring, I figured that I may as well paint the body pieces white in the process.
The more rare white versions, when I see them, are going for nearly $150 to $200. I bought the same model in black for $50. I can take the money I saved and literally pay for the light up EL Tape and EL Wire for the illuminated areas of the costume.
Another nifty detail; the little box below the disc on her back, is the battery pack for the lighting.
I remember seeing this in the film as well, and thinking, "awesome! no need to try and hide it further". Still, I may see if I can load it all into the disc base unit instead, for a sleeker look.

Tron: Siren Gem Costume

Original Siren Gem costume.

Yet another from my to-do-list for Dragon Con 2014; Gem, one of the Sirens from the 2011 Film
"Tron: Legacy".
Already, I have materials arriving on my doorstep. Namely the shoes.
Footwear for a costume has all-too-often been one of the last things I take care of, sometimes not by choice. This time they are the first thing I have acquired toward this very complicated cosplay.

Like my Elsa cosplay, it's another frosty blonde look, which I'm thankful for.
After my drastic haircolor change for my Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) of Austria impression, it's nice to not have to worry about fake hair, wigs, or dye to cover up my own hair.
I like to choose characters that I already have at least an 80% resemblance to, as it not only makes it easier to do costuming and makeup for, but it also makes for a bigger impact when people see me as a character. People can choose to play who they want, regardless of what they look like. It's what makes cosplay innovative and so much fun. But for me personally, the art form is not to just have a similar outfit as a character. It's to be the character and to make those moments in a film or TV fictional universe come to life again in the minds of those that see me.

While my shoes are not exactly like the shoes in the film, they are the right color and made with the right materials, and they could have easily been seen in the Tron universe.
I like to think this is Siren Gem's other pair of go-to heels.
Should I end up with the time to modify a pair of shoes to look exactly like the ones seen in the film, that would be fantastic. And if not, then I have these babies already as an equally impressive backup:

The ones with the original costume have a little built-on upper in the silver grey rubberized fabric. That will be an easy addition.

For my own bit of flair on the shoes I have, I may add an LED light underneath the 'ledge' of the heel aiming downward, but it's a maybe. It could look awesome, or just weird if they are too bright. Either way, it could be a fun experiment.
