Carbon Costume

Some might know him best as Ferris Bueller’s unimpressed teacher. But a whole generation of children grew up knowing Ben Stein as the voice of the ever unimpressed Head Pixie. If it’s not dull, bland, and boring, he isn’t happy. And when that happens it’s bad news for Wanda, Cosmo, and Timmy.

H.P.’s look is pretty easy to get (and, as an added bonus, full of pieces that can be used for daily wear or with other cosplays) with the exception of his hat. Because it’s so unique you will have to DIY it. Cut a two grey stars out of softer, lightweight felt. Glue them together with a thin, piece of clear plastic between them. Then take flexible grey foam and shape it into a cone large enough to wear as a hat. Glue the edges down with hot glue, making sure to leave a small hole at the top of the cone. Stick the end of the plastic rod into the hole and adjust the height of the star over the hat. Trim off most of the excess inside but leave a small amount to anchor with hot glue. Fill the remaining space around the plastic rod with hot glue. Finally, take a dark grey marker and draw on the swirls around the bottom of his cap.

Once you’ve got the hat, the rest of his costume is fairly straight forward. Fake eyebrows give you something close to the white bars that H.P. sports while small wings, fake glasses and white hair spray take care of your hair and accessories. Finish off the look with a grey suit, white button down, black tie, and black shoes. If you want purple contacts to really go all-in, make sure that you get them through an eye doctor. If they’re not properly fitted to your eye shape, cosmetic contacts can do serious damage.

Juandissimo Magnifico is a minor, recurring villain in Nickelodeon’s The Fairly OddParents. Voiced by Carlos Alazraqui, he is the Hispanic fairy god-parent of Remy Buxaplenty. He is incredibly vain, frequently ripping off his shirt and singing about his sexiness. Although they are ex-lovers, Juandissimo is still smitten with Wanda and therefore jealous of Cosmo.

“Tell me I’m pretty!” Trixie Tang is a minor character in Nickelodeon’s The Fairly Odd Parents. She is the prettiest, most popular girl at Dimmsdale Elementary School, and Timmy Turner has a giant crush on her. When his fairy godparents turn him into a girl, Timmy learns that Trixie actually enjoys boyish activities such as reading comics. When Timmy wishes to be alone with Trixie, she becomes deranged and obsessed with getting attention.

Kyoshi is a character in the Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender. She was a previous Avatar who came from the Earth kingdom. She created an era of peace by vanquishing Chin the Conquerer. According to legend, she was a ruthless, fearsome warrior — who also had rather long feet! Her legacy carries on with the Dai Li, as well as the Kyoshi warriors, an all-female group who fight and defend in her honor. When applying the makeup, you can use this image of Kyoshi for reference. Use the white face paint as the base, the red face paint for the eyes, and black eyeliner for the wings and brows.

Spongebob might live in a pineapple under the sea but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have fans on land. In fact he has a whole fan club. And Patchy the Pirate (played by Tom Kenny) is the president. Self-appointed, of course. But that still counts! And with his trusty – if snarky – cohost Potty close at hand, he’s always ready for a special Spongebob adventure!

Patchy is pretty much your stereotypical pirate. He wears a black tricorn hat over a red bandana along with an eye patch and a scraggly black beard. A purple velvet jacket over a white shirt pairs with a set of black “pirate pants” and black boot covers for a look fit for a presidential pirate. A black sash repurposed as a bandolier, a hook toy for your hand, a fake peg leg, and a green parrot toy finish off the look!

Stella (voiced by Amy Gross in the English versions and Perla Liberatori in the Italian versions) is one of the six core members of the Winx club. She is also the Fairy of Sun and the princess of her home planet Solaria. Her fiance Brandon is a student at the Red Fountain school where he trains in weapons combat to balance Stella’s magical abilities.

If you like the color orange then cosplaying as Stella is perfect for you. From an orange cold shoulder top to an orange skirt and orange boots it is her favorite color. She even wears orange earrings. Stella’s only other color is a silver head band, a set of silver gauntlets, her white wings, and her long blonde hair.
