Carbon Costume

…a second thought to the VMA Awards was the bizarre show put on by Miley Cyrus (see costume) and Robin Thicke (see costume). 4. The Walking Dead If you’re trick-or-treating with your bro, you could go as brothers Daryl (see costume) and Merle Dixon (see costume). The only thing more badass than that crossbow is a freakin’ machete for an arm. 3. The Last of Us The lone representative from gaming, but a damn fine one. Joel (see costume) and Ellie (s…

…Scott Pilgrim has other things to concern himself with other than his wardrobe, like playing bass and fighting Ramona’s seven evil exes. Thus, he keeps what he’s wearing as simple as his mind. His only real accessory is a wristband to match his ringer T-shirts but maybe that means he does care about fashion, just a little….

Kneemoi may look sweet but don’t take your eyes off her. She’s a shapeshifting grifter who has no issue stealing whatever she wants. Once she even stole all knowledge of Tai Chi! As one of Carmen Sandiego’s henchwomen, she is comfortable in a life of crime, something you probably shouldn’t bring to your Kneemoi cosplay. Along with setting aside her criminal tendencies, Kneemoi cosplayers have a unique challenge. Kneemoi, in her normal state, is a…

Vic is all about the loud and the obnoxious. Whether it’s his suits, his personality, or his heists, it’s all the same for Vic. He’s stolen Alcatraz and Carmen Island, all for his boss, Carmen Sandiego. To get Vic’s look you’re going to need a few key, loud pieces. Temporary black hair dye also serves as pomade to dye and slick back your hair. An eyeliner pencil can draw on his thin mustache while a gold chain is his main accent. Add in a lime gr…

Mime Bomb is one of the agents of V.I.L.E in the Netflix adaptation of Carmen Sandiego (2019). He is one of Carmen’s former classmates, but ultimately followed in the path the school was teaching and became a criminal mime. We don’t know very much about him aside from the little we see in the show, but he’s often sent on stealth missions as he’s quiet and well adept at becoming part of a scene to gather information. Mime Bomb has light greyish-bl…

Julia Argent (voiced by Charlet Chung) is one of the key characters in the Netflix version of Carmen Sandiego. She is an A.C.M.E. agent that was formerly part of Interpol, and one of the few people in her team from the beginning that believed that Carmen wasn’t the threat that the rest made her out to be, which lead to her helping Carmen’s team in future. Julia is lightly freckled, with dark eyes and very short blackish-blue hair. Her main outfit…

…Half-ninja and the fourth evil ex of Ramona Flowers, Roxie Richter (Mae Whitman) embraces the line between industrial goth and lazy ninja. Dressed in all black, save for the silver belt and red lipstick, you can easily steal her look from a trip to Hot Topic and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Although, you may have to put holes in the tights yourself. Bonus points if you can do it while disappearing in a cloud of smoke….

…). An armored reptilian OC (@joekleinkauf) spotted in the hallway. He constructed and airbrushed the entire build himself! Welcome to the Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can these Ed and Dexter cosplayers take your order? Bucky/Winter Soldier (@positivelyelemental), Captain America (@thenorthjerseynerd), and Black Widow (@mandybars) from the Marvel franchise relaxing outside. Crowley (@snaileditcosplay) from Good Omens showing us her impress…

…You might think Waldo would be easy to spot in a crowd, what with his red and white striped attire. Unfortunately, he likes to hang around things like barber poles and candy canes, accompanied by people like Wenda, Woof, and Odlaw who dress similarly….

…a line, like a little neighborhood. Then I drew paths down to a road that runs across the chest of the sweater. Then I used white pompoms and leftover foam to make snow men. Pipe cleaners made for some rather gaudy Christmas trees as well. And with that my little village was complete! As you’ll see in the completed pictures at the end of the article, the village isn’t exactly to scale. That is all part of the Ugly Christmas Sweater charm! Attach…
