Carbon Costume

In 1997 when Batman & Robin was released, the critics bashed the hell out of it. It is one of the most disappointing films in history by statistics. And personally, one of the only things I adore about the movie in general is Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy (knowing how much I looked up to the character in general during my childhood).

Aside from Poison Ivy’s main costume, I decided to take a turn towards her laboratory uniform as Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley since I find it sexier, and less cheesy. It’s one tutorial that’s easy to start, and perfect for a last minute idea. You could literally go to Wal-Mart and buy these items for less than $20 (then proceed to distress the clothing if I may so add). The items needed are: a tank top, a beige skirt, and some red-hot long hair. If you want it authentically made, vines and chemistry instruments would really pull the whole look together.

Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is a forensic anthropologist on the television show Bones. She is part of the forensic team at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Though brilliant, Bones is socially-awkward and introverted. Her personal style is eclectic, often reflecting her knowledge and experience with other cultures.

Kenny Omega is signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he is the reigning and inaugural IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion. In NJPW, he is also a former one-time IWGP Intercontinental Champion, two-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, one-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, and a two-time NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champion.

Highly intelligent, intensely curious, wildly theoretical and with a penchant for sneezing, professor of Egyptology Daniel Jackson (James Spader) from the 1994 sci-fi flick Stargate traipses across an unknown world in search of knowledge, exploration and, unexpectedly, love. While off-world, he wears a loose robe and shawls given to him by the local tribe over his standard army clothes.

In the direct-to-video movie Batman: Assault on Arkham, Joker plants a dirty bomb that Batman must find, all the while dealing with a superteam of villains called the Suicide Squad, which includes Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and more.

In Lost Highway, Alice Wakefield (Patricia Arquette) is the seductress who crosses Fred’s path while he is in the life of Pete, convincing him to murder. He soon finds out how power-hungry she is, and knowing he could never have her because she was simply an illusion. She is the other half to Renee Madison.

Alice’s wardrobe is beyond beautiful, elegant and full of bright colors while remaining to look seductive. Her most prominent fashion pieces are her white satin mini-dress, light brown platforms, gold clutch and watch set she appears in when she asks Pete to meet up with her after encountering her earlier in a black mini-dress similar to the one she is last seen wearing, along with matching bra and panties, and topped with a cheetah fur coat.

Aside from the clothes, she can be spotted with a curly/banged platinum blonde bob, while sporting some bright primary colored lips along with metallic colored eyeshadow/nail polish.

In Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game, Todd Ingram is Ramona Flowers’s third evil ex-boyfriend. He is in a relationship with Envy Adams (cheating on Envy with Lynette Guycott) and the bass player for The Clash at Demonhead. He is also a vegan, though known to cheat on both his vegan diet as well as his girlfriend, believing he can get away with mostly anything because he’s a rock star.

Nega Scott is a major antagonist in the video game Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. He is main protagonist Scott Pilgrim’s inner darkness and his evil alter-ego, representing his forgotten flaws and mistakes.

Renee Madison (Patricia Arquette) is the wife of Fred Madison in the 1997 David Lynch film Lost Highway. Movie buffs will remember her character as the sexually unsatisfied wife who becomes tragically murdered by her husband after he assumes she has been cheating on him with another man.

Renee’s style is very elegant, symbolized in dark colors, in contrast to her alter ego Alice Wakefield who is often found in lighter colors. The outfit Renee is first seen in is her red satin dress covered by a black silk robe. Other than her outfit, she can be seen with dark brown/reddish long hair with front bangs, and some red lipstick and black nails to match.

In DC Bombshells, Batwoman (real name Kate Kane) is a vigilante who earned her name by fighting crime with a bat and her baseball uniform. Her costume is inspired by the women’s baseball uniforms in the 1940’s. For authenticity, use the iron-on patch and numbers to recreate her team logo and number, 52. She also has “batwoman” written on her bat, which can be easily added to the prop bat.
