Joe Simko's 'Cereal Killers' Card Sheet Winner!

This is SO AWESOME!

Remember when I went to the Las Vegas Super Toy Con a few weeks back? Well, I entered a giveaway for a Joe Simko's 'Cereal Killers' Series 1 uncut card sheet and won! I was so very excited because I'm one of those people who really never win anything. Series 1 is sold out, so other than getting it on ebay, this was the only way to get my hands on one.

I love these cards because they're so much fun and they're for people like me, obsessed with pop culture. Joe Simko takes classic cereal boxes, classic serial killers, cereal box characters, classic movie characters and creates the best pictures and titles for the images of the boxes. Some of my favorite titles are "Clockwork Porridge", "Children Of The Corn Flakes", "Fiber The 13th", "Chucky Harms" and much more.

In the photos below, you're going to see the leading men of some of your favorite horror films. My favorite cards are the ones channeling classic films like 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Halloween/Michael Myers', 'Chucky', 'Friday The 13th', 'Terminator', and more.

Thanks so much to the people over at Wax Eye, make sure to check them out on Facebook HERE. Shout out to the Las Vegas Super Toy Con too! Fun times. You can check them out on Facebook HERE.

Las Vegas Super Toy Con 2015 Cosplay.

Nubia Mejia 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.
