Las Vegas Super Toy Con 2015 Cosplay.

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.

themesongs

Monday Theme Song: Pokémon.

Nubia Mejia 4:20:00 PM

Recently I binged a little bit on Netflix and watched Ally Mcbeal... what a kooky show right?

Anyway, if you watched the show at any point in your life... you would know Ally was all sorts of crazy/bi-polar (even had visions of the ooga chaka baby) and had a quite interesting therapist. Her thereapist encouraged her to wake up and walk out everyday to the beat of a great uplifting song that would become her theme song.... and I thought THEME SONG YA SAY? I think I kind of sorta unknowingly do this already.

Theme songs are rad and I often find myself loving theme songs from shows that I watch as well. They're uplifting most times and even if they don't have lyrics the beat is awesome.

Therefore being that it's Monday (womp, womp) The beginning of the week most dread... I am going to provide you with one of my all time favorite motivational theme songs. I don't even think I ever finished watching the series but I sure thought about the song throughout the years. PLUS watching the actual video is just SO EMOTIONAL (some of you know what I'm talking about).

"Pokémon Theme" is track #1 on the album Pokemon X. It was written by Aguirre Gamboa, Trans. Adolfo, Tamara Loeffler, John Siegler.

I wanna be the very best,
Like no one ever was.
To catch them is my real test,
To train them is my cause.

I will travel across the land,
Searching far and wide.
Each Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside

Pokemon, (gotta catch them all) its you and me
I know its my destiny
Pokemon, oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend

Pokemon, (gotta catch them all) a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
(Po-ke-mon) Gotta catch 'em all

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place

Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

Pokemon!

(Gotta catch 'em all)

It's you and me
I know it's my destiny

Pokemon!

Oh, you're my best friend,
In a world we must defend.

Pokemon!

A heart so true.
Our courage will pull us through.
You teach me and I'll teach you.

Pokemon!

(Gotta catch 'em all)x5

Pokemon!

It's you and me

Pokemon!

Oh, you're my best friend,
In a world we must defend.

Pokemon!

Our courage will pull us through.
You teach me and I'll teach you.

POKEMON!
Gotta catch'em all!!
Gotta catch'em all!!

I mean C'mon? Epic. Have a great week!
