Carbon Costume

Chazz Darby (played by Brendan Fraser) is the lead singer and guitarist for the band the Lone Rangers in the ’90s film Airheads.  Alongside his fellow bandmates Pip and Rex, Chazz takes control of a local radio station in order to give his band’s music some airtime.  Chazz has long hair and wears a headband to keep it off his face, a leather jacket, as well as multiple rings and necklaces to complete his quintessentially rockstar look.  Finding Chazz’s exact t-shirt is going to be nearly impossible, so you could use this opportunity to bust out a truly vintage ’90s tee from your collection with a vintage vibe, or shoot for something in a distressed wash in a similar shade of light purple.

Chauncey Pesky (voiced by Brian Doyle-Murray) is the patriarch of the Pesky family on the Disney Channel series The Buzz on Maggie.  Chauncey lives in a milk carton with his wife Frieda and their three children, Maggie, Aldrin, and Pupert. Chauncey wears large glasses and grey slacks with a white shirt and red tie.  If you can’t grow your own mustache, a false one can always suffice in a pinch!

Frieda Pesky (voiced by Susan Tolsky) is the mother of Maggie, Aldrin, and Pupert and the husband of Chauncey on the the Disney Channel cartoon series The Buzz on Maggie.  Frieda is a very typical housewife in many ways, spending much of her time cooking and cleaning for her family.  She wears a green dress with matching heels and a yellow headband.  If you’d prefer not to wear two headbands as part of your costume, you could always get crafty with some pom poms and pip cleaners and attach them to the yellow headband with a glue gun for a more seamless appearance.

Francesca (voiced by Gale Garnett) is the main antagonist of the stop motion animated film Mad Monster Party.  Francesca is the secretary of Baron Boris von Frankenstein, who has decided to retire as the head of the World Organization of Monsters.  Francesca is a total babe and often flirted with by the monsters on the Isle of Evil.  She works closely with Dracula in a bid to kill the Baron’s nephew Felix Flanken.  Francesca wears several era-appropriate outfits including a dark beige dress, an emerald green number, and a gold satin party dress.  To really sell the 60s look, you’ll want to be particular about your makeup.  The same eyeliner you use to rim your lids can also be used to create the perfect beauty mark on your right cheek.

Claire Randall (played by Caitriona Balfe) is the main protagonist of the Starz series Outlander.  Claire travels through time to 1700s Scotland where she meets Jamie Fraser, whom she eventually marries.  In Season 2 of the acclaimed series, Claire finds herself in the French Court, where she dons a beautiful red dress and matching earrings and shoes.  To truly embody the fashion of the time, the undergarments are nearly as important as the dress itself, so you’ll need to be comfortable in a hoop skirt and crinoline to make sure your gown has enough volume in the silhouette.  It will be nearly impossible to find Claire’s intricate period shoes, so look for heels with a low profile and straps to evoke a similar feel.

Nicholas Poliakoff (voiced by Matthew Géczy in English) is a student at Kadic Academy and a member of Sissi’s gang on the show Code Lyoko.  Nicholas is close friends with Herb Pichon.  Over time, Nicholas becomes more tolerant of the Lyoko Warriors because he plays in a band with Odd Della Robbia.  Nicholas’ style is fairly straightforward; athletic shorts a blue sports shirt in the earlier seasons, with him swapping for jeans and a long t-shirt under an open red button-down in the later seasons.

Julian Devorak is a fugitive doctor and one of the six available love interests in the mobile game The Arcana: A Mystic Romance – Love Story.  Julian, also known as Ilya, is both charismatic and theatrical, with a flair for drama.  His patron arcana is The Hanged Man, which gave Julian the power to heal in exchange for unwanted memories.  Julian is tall and gangly, with messy auburn hair and an eye patch that covers the damaged sclera of his right eye, he also often wears a red-lined trench coat draped casually over his shoulders.  Though this exact item can be difficult to find, a more common red-lined cape or cloak can help achieve a similar look.

Herb Pichon (voiced by David Gasman in English) is a character on the cartoon series Code Lyoko.  Herb is best friends with Nicholas Poliakoff and a member of Sissi’s gang.  Herb has a crush on Sissi, but is too afraid to tell her because of her interest in other boys at Kadic Academy.  Herb is a stereotypical nerd with the oversized glasses to prove it.  His clothing in early seasons includes a green sweater layered over a collared shirt, with the sweater replaced by a blue sweater vest and a tie in later seasons.
