Las Vegas Super Toy Con 2015 Cosplay.

10:09:00 AM
It's simple, I love to cosplay.

Saturday there was a Cosplay contest going on at the Las Vegas Super Toy Con. Naturally, I wanted to enter but I didn't really have much time to prepare the type of costume I wanted to. I through together something quick and worked with what I had to create the beautiful, crazy, playful, hyper, quirky, insane, delightful Harley Quinn look below. My favorite lady from DC Comics may I add. 


Putting the Harley Quinn cosplay together: The red and black corset I purchased at some random lingerie store in NY. The face paint is some left over face paint from Halloween and some regular makeup (red lipstick, eye shadow, mascara). The leggings were purchased at Hot Topic. The belt is my boyfriends work belt he wears everyday. For my hair, I couldn't find hair dye anywhere close by so I had to improvise! I grabbed red lipstick and smashed it in between a thick sheet of bounty paper and kept smearing it in my hair until it got as red as I wanted. For the black in my hair I used mainly black eye shadow and also smeared it on my hair with a sheet of bounty paper. 

I thought for being such a super last minute cosplay costume it looked pretty cute. Next time hopefully I'll be ready and able to do something crazy. 

As a prop I printed 2 photo of The Joker from the Batman Animated Series and cut out some hearts from construction paper. I then taped the photos and hearts to a thick cardboard and made a little sign out of it that said "My Boo, Mistah J!" It also had a little gun that said 'Bang!' on it. 






Here's a few of the other cosplayers at the Las Vegas Super Toy Con.

Monday Theme Song: X-Men: The Animated Series (1992)

10:31:00 PM

I DARE you to wake up, blast the X-Men: The Animated Series (1992) theme song, and tell me it didn't want to make you kick ass the whole day. I DARE YOU!


The X-Men theme song was composed by Ron Wasserman (who also did Go Go Power Rangers) and it's so uplifting, powerful, and BAD ASS. It's a work of art. Seriously, it's like one of the top 10 theme songs of a generation.  

Sometimes I wonder how many kids were turned on to the world of comics and animation because of Marvels X-Men Animated series on FOXs Saturday morning line-up. 

Trust me when I say, blast this Monday morning on your way out the door while you're walking to your car or to the subway and your week will be off to a spectacular start. 

Cheers!

New York Comic Con Cosplay Throwback: The White Queen

5:31:00 PM
I really like Emma Frost "White Queen". In every movie, comic, or cartoon I've seen her in she looks beautiful and elegant. She appears sweet but you can't let that fool you... this lady can get evil quick and can totally mind fuck you (maybe literally even).

Anyway, I first saw her in Marvel's X-Men cartoons on Saturday mornings and have been a fan ever since. In 2011 I thought she'd make a pretty hot cosplay costume for one of the days I was attending New York Comic Con.

I didn't want to buy a White Queen costume from a store so I put this one together by imitating a photo. It was pretty simple really, I purchased white shorts, a white corset, white thigh highs, a white garter belt, white shoes, and I visited a fabric store and purchased white imitation fur and fabric (my best friend sewed the cape for me) I was pretty pleased with the result, I had a lot of fun too.

The White Queen Cosplay was a hit a the convention and also received a bit of love online.

Geek Girl Skirts From GoFollowRabbits on Etsy.

1:23:00 PM
Recently I was being my normal self and looking for some fresh and cool gear to add to my wardrobe. I was thinking about something that would embrace my inner geek girl. After roaming a while on the inter-webs I ended up on Etsy as-per-usual and discovered GoFollowRabbits.

It's hard to find a site that seems to carry good quality merchandise with nice prints at a fairly reasonable price considering it's hand made and not mass produced in China. From The Delorean, to Captain America, Alice In Wonderland, Nintendo, Pokemon, Adventure Time, Mario, X-Men, and so much more... here are a few of my favorites.







They pretty much cover comics, video games, TV, and movie culture covered.

These look like they would make awesome gifts for that special girl in your life too. Did I mention the store has some great reviews too?

Shop HERE. They also just launched their own website which you can check out HERE
