Carbon Costume

The Prince of Emishi Village, Ashitaka is a kind and peaceful man afflicted by a demon curse in the Studio Ghibli film Princess Mononoke.  After his town is attacked by a demon, whom he kills, Ashitaka is tasked with discovering why the boar was so afflicted.  Ashitaka joins forces with San after they meet when she attacks Irontown, leaving him with a cut on his cheek.

Gabby Gabby, voiced by Christina Hendricks, is a new character in Toy Story 4. She lives in Second Chance Antiques with three ventriloquist dolls as her personal bodyguards. Made in the 1950s, Gabby Gabby is a defective doll, as her voicebox is broken. Her scheme to then steal Woody’s voicebox makes her the antagonist of the film. Her goal is to win the affections of a kid named Harmony, but even with her new voice, Harmony rejects her. Now showing sympathy, Woody  plans to bring Gabby Gabby to Bonnie. Upon spotting a lost girl crying at the carnival, Gabby Gabby goes to her instead, doing the most noble thing a toy can do. Style the wig into two pig tails, and secure with hairspray and elastics, then fasten on the bow clips. Use the brow pencil to draw on fake freckles.

Theodore Donald “Donny” Kerabatsos (played by Steve Buscemi) is a member of the same bowling team as the Dude and Walter.  A soft spoken man, Donny is often told to shut up impolitely by Walter prior to his death in the film.  Despite being an exceptional bowler, Donny is often seen wearing what appear to be secondhand bowling shirts, as he dons a colorful array, each with a different name embroidered on it (none of which are Donny).  If you have some modest sewing skills, you could add your own personal flourish to whichever color shirt you choose to wear for your costume.

On Disney’s cartoon series The Weekenders, Lor McQuarrie (voiced by Grey Griffin) is considered the jock of her friend group. Lor is best friends with Trish Katsufrakis.  Lor is an athlete who excels at soccer and basketball. In keeping with her active life, Lor is often seen wearing loose-fitting jeans and t-shirts with sneakers.

Colt is a character in the mobile video game Brawl Stars. He is a Common Brawler. Players unlock his character as a Trophy Reward upon reaching 60 trophies. His high damage output counteracts his low health. Each attack fires six shots at a surprisingly long range. His Super doubles that amount of shots and can destroy obstacles in his way. His Gadget is Speedloader which instantly reloads two more ammos in his ammunition bar. His first Star Power increases his speed and his second star power increases bullet range and speed.

John Paul Mercer (voiced by Michael Croner) – known as J.P. to his friends – is the oldest kid on the show Craig of the Creek. But being the oldest doesn’t make him the leader. In fact J.P. seems happiest going with the flow that his friends set. He’s loyal and kind-hearted, always quick to help those in need and capable of easily make friends.

Cosplaying as J.P. requires a little bit of DIY. His signature orange hair can be recreated with a wig but his hockey jersey is a different story. To replicate it you will need to buy a plain orange hockey jersey and then use white fabric to add the band around the abdomen and the smaller bands around the arms.

J.P.’s tan jeans will also require a little bit of DIY since his rough and tumblr brand of fun has worn a hole in the right knee and left them a bit dirty. Once that hole is in place, though, your outfit just needs a pair of black sneakers to be complete!

Bunny Lebowski (played by Tara Reid) is the wife of Jeffrey Lebowski in The Big Lebowski and a huge source of frustration for Brandt, as she flirts heavily with the Dude.  She is a former runaway and porn star with a shopping problem that puts her into very deep debt.  To recreate Bunny’s outfit, you’ll need to tap into your very rad ’90s side, as she favors neon green and very small bikinis.  Of course, depending on your comfort level, there are many ways you can channel the same vibe while covering up a little more.  Don’t forget your green toe polish, as Bunny’s little toe plays a big role in the film.

In the Coen Brothers’ film The Big Lebowski, Maude Lebowski (played by Julianne Moore) is a provocative avant-garde artist and the daughter of Jeffrey Lebowski.  She is highly critical of her father’s relationship with Bunny, and is the person responsible for the Dude losing his rug.  During their initial real life interaction, Maude is seen wearing a long olive green robe, and later, she dons a gold Viking valkyrie costume in one of the Dude’s dreams.  When crafting your Maude costume, you will need to decide whether the silhouette or the color of her robe are more important to you, as it can be very difficult to find one that does both.  Adding additional props and touches to a fabricated Maude Viking costume can help bring your costume to the next level.

He-Man is the main hero of the Masters of the Universe series, which span across comic books, an animated television series, and a feature film. He must protect his home of Etheria and the secrets of the Castle Greyskull from the wicked Skeletor. His powers include super strength and impressive fighting skills with his sword and battle axe. His famous battle cry is “For the honor of Greyskull!” as now said by She-Ra in the 2018 series. This guide includes costumes for both He-Man and his normal identity, Prince Adam (who you might recognize from the viral Youtube meme “What’s Up/What’s Going On”).

Kelsey Pokoly (voiced first by Georgina Cordova and then later by Noel Wells) is the smallest and possibly youngest member of the main gang on Craig of the Creek. She is a very dramatic child with a love of books and a wild imagination that fuels her adventures.

Kelsey’s cosplay requires just a little bit of DIY but is fairly straight-forward. Pink shorts, blue rain boots, a dark blue cape, and a pet budgie are the easy-to-gather parts of the costume. A red wig will replicate her hair but it will have to be styled in a bun that sits at the back of the head.

Her shirt is where the DIY really comes in though. The chest of Kelsey’s shirt is taken up by a large, pale heart. This can be recreated on a light blue or light teal shirt with a bleach pen. Once that’s done, the costume is ready to go!
