Carbon Costume

Mike (Michael Nesmith) is one of four real people in a “pretend” television band, The Monkees. In the years leading up to the TV show’s end, Nesmith and his “bandmates” fought to prove themselves as accomplished musicians in their own very real merits, and most cases, they succeeded. The four Monkees — Mike, Mickey, Peter, and Davy — often sported matching bib-front shirts, but Mike’s distinct costume piece is his green wool hat.

Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis) is a main character in That 70’s Show. Her father is a lawyer with an expensive lifestyle, so Jackie is used to flaunting their wealth. Some may simply classify Jackie as the mean girl with a bossy attitude, but she’s driven and won’t settle for anything less. For instance, she finally breaks up with Kelso, who repeatedly cheats on her. Furthermore, Jackie is sensitive and genuinely wants others to care about her. She’s closest with Donna as the only two girls in the group, As seen in this costume guide, she has a preppy, girly sense of style.

Doug Dimmadome is a minor recurring character in The Fairly OddParents. He’s the owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome as well as other businesses and properties in Dimmsdale. His ten gallon cowboy hat comically gets larger with appearance. Sometimes he’s portrayed as an antagonist. His catchphrase, spoken with a Southern drawl, is: “I’m Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome!”

Moira O’Hara is a character in American Horror Story. She appears in the first season, Murder House, as one of the many ghosts doomed to live in the house forever. The cause of her death was getting shot in the eye by Constance Langdon, who caught her husband making advances on her. To women, she appears as her “true self” — a pleasant elderly lady with a gray left eye. To men, she appears as a young seductress. In her words, this is because women see things for as they are whereas men see only what they desire. She befriends Vivian and tries to help during her pregnancy, but she preys on Ben’s adulterous desires. Frances Conroy plays her older self, and Alexandra Breckenridge plays her younger self as seen in this costume guide.

On the CW show Supernatural, Kevin Tran (played by Osric Chau) is originally introduced as an extremely intelligent high school student who is dedicated to maintaining straight As.  However, he is soon transformed into a prophet of God, and helps Sam and Dean by translating tablets related to the Leviathans, Demons, and Angels.  Kevin is eventually killed and now roams the Earth as a ghost rather than return to Hell.  Finding a Supernatural-style tablet can be difficult and expensive, but you could DIY your own stand-in with a slate charcuterie board or tile and a fine tip chalk marker.

Tae Kwon Doug – also known as Douglas and played by Michael Trucco from Hush and Battlestar Galactica – is the rather inept antagonist on Disjointed. Though he starts the show firmly anti-drug (and woefully misinformed) he slowly comes around to the staff of the dispensary next to his dojang. He takes a special liking to Pete who he ends up treating as a sort of adopted son.

To cosplay as Doug you’ll want to get a dobok – the Korean term for a gi. You’ll also need a black belt and a headband as well as a few patches. It’s hard to have as many as Doug does, however, since he adds a new patch with each episode. Finish off the look with some camo camping crocs and you’re ready to take out the nearest BioWave.

Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) is a main character in the FX show What We Do In The Shadows, a spinoff of the movie directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement. Colin is a special type of vampire called an “energy vampire.” Instead of feeding on blood, like the other resident creatures, he feeds on energy. At his office job, he was notorious for annoying his co-workers and boring them with monotonous conversations. In short, he is a constant buzzkill. According to his roommate, Laszlo, he came with the house.

On the CW show Supernatural, Claire Novak (played by Kathryn Newton).  Claire is the daughter of Amelie and Jimmy Novak, who provides Castiel with his human vessel.  Claire is a troubled teenager before reuniting with Castiel and eventually living with Jody Mills, where she takes up hunting.  Claire often wears a leather jacket and some dark eyeliner, though her long blonde hair is her most distinguishing feature.
