Carbon Costume

Whether she’s talking or skating, Pickles B.L.T. (voiced by Jessica Hillbrecht) likes to move fast. She’s got a long of hungry customers to feed and that means making a lot of her signature sandwiches. Not that she minds, of course. With a “sugar” for everyone, she is in her element when she’s flying by on her skates.

The characters in Lalaloopsy are all designed like dolls, so getting their exact look takes a little DIY. For this costume, the easiest DIY addition is putting two teal bows into the orange wig. Then, using fabric paint, add the color details to the button down shirt before swapping out the black buttons for the teal. Next, use fabric fusion to add the plaid ruffle to the bottom of the skirt and white lace to the top of teal socks. Finally, change out the white laces on the skates for pink laces to finish off the DIY portion of the look. After that all that’s left is putting the costume on and using the pink body paint to put pink spots on your cheeks. And, of course, practicing on your skates.

Jo is a character from the Cartoon Network animated series Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, the fourth season of the Total Drama franchise.  At different points during the series, Jo is part of both the Mutant Maggots and the Toxic Rats.  Jo has dark blonde hair and wears a brown sweatshirt and comfortable grey pants with green sneakers.

Nabbit (voiced by Natsuka Yokoyama) is probably one of the best-named characters in the world of Mario. A rabbit who nabs things, Nabbit slips into Toad houses and makes off with their things, though his heavy bag usually gets in his way. He might not be the nicest guy but he’s still a fun playable character in certain games and he makes for a great costume.

Creating a Nabbit cosplay takes a little bit of DIY. The first step is to glue two white felt circles to the front edge of the hoodie’s hood, then gluing a black circle over the top of either white circle. The felt circles are self-adhesive but the fabric glue will ensure they won’t fall off. You can also use the fabric flue to adhere the rabbit ears to the top of the hood.

Next, use the fabric markers to make Nabbit’s mouth on the white bandana. After that it’s just a matter of putting all the pieces together! Just do yourself a favor and don’t try to act out Nabbit’s exploits. It’ll probably go even worse than it does for Nabbit.

Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) returns in Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde. After graduation, the Harvard Law fashionista travels to Washington D.C. to speak up for animal rights. Unfortunately, the White House is tougher to navigate than the Ivy League. Upon earning the sympathy of a representative, she gets her foot in the door of Congress. But can her winning combination of intelligence and charm convince the legislature?

Leshawna is a character on the first iteration of Cartoon Network’s Total Drama Island. She was a member of the Screaming Gophers. In Total Drama Action, she was a member of the Screaming Gaffers. In Total Drama World Tour, she was a member of Team Victory. Leshawna will tell it like it is and won’t hold back on someone who wronged her. For instance, she finds her first enemy in Heather, the resident mean girl. Off camera, she volunteers to better the lives of less fortunate teenagers, and her goal is to open her own community center.

Cha-U-Kao, the Moulin Rouge performer and clown of the 1890s, was made famous in a series of paintings by Henri Touslouse-LauTrec. Very little is known about her, except for the fact that she was a lesbian. Cha-U-Kao had a distinctive look with a yellow and black outfit and white hair piled up on her head.

Cindy Campbell (played by Anna Faris) is the main protagonist of the Scary Movie franchise.  She is a parody character based on Sidney Prescott from the Scream film series.  In true horror film fashion, Cindy is sweet and attractive, though a little meek.  She wears a variety of outfits throughout the films, and her hair eventually changes to blonde, but in Scary Movie 2, some of her most memorable outfits include a white bell-sleeved blouse with black pants and a pale blue turtleneck with white jeans.

Katie Mitchell (voiced by Abbi Jacobson) is the main protagonist of the Sony Pictures Animation film The Mitchells vs. the Machines.  Katie is quirky and creative, and a film student in college.  Katie wears distressed jeans and shoes embellished with markered details.  To have some fun with her look, be sure to add little details to your own clothes (and hands!) like Katie does in the movie.
