Love from Kuu Kuu Harajuku

Love from Kuu Kuu Harajuku

As the brains behind HJ5, Love (voiced by Daisy Masterman) is usually getting herself into trouble with some new gizmo or other. Whether it’s new tech, potions, or crazy schemes she is the one pushing the envelope to try and make things go off without a hitch for her and her band.

Cosplaying as Love is all about details. A long black wig can be pinned up for the volume of her hair and then decorated with heart clips, then topped with a blue bow headband. A red undershirt is cuffed at the elbows then covered with a grey pullover so only the cuffs and collar stick out. You can sew a white lace ruffle around the hem of your black and grey plaid skirt to get her exact look. And then finish off the costume with red over-the-knee socks and calf-high red high tops.

Tristan Duffy from American Horror Story

Tristan Duffy (played by Finn Wittrock) is a male model tired of the limelight. His final performance is in a fashion show held at Hotel Cortez.

But it works out in the end.

True to his career in fashion, Tristan likes bold fabrics and wears things that many would not. He is partial to an embroidered silk robe, semi-sheer button-up shirt that he leaves unbuttoned, black leather pants, and black boots. He wears his dark hair short with a shock of red through it that will be most easily achieved with clip-in extension that are trimmed to fit the length of the wig.

Gretchen from Camp Lakebottom

Gretchen from Camp Lakebottom

Gretchen (voiced by Melissa Altro) is one of three campers mistakenly sent to Camp Lakebottom. Not that she minds! Though the food is gross the the groundskeeper is literally a zombie, she feels much more at home around Camp Lakebottom than she does at the ritzy camp across the lake. With her no-nonsense attitude and fierce loyalty, she is as stalwart a camper as any counselor could ask for! Even if she is afraid of chipmunks.

Gretchen is someone who values comfort over appearance. Her usual costume consists of an orange t-shirt over a brown long sleeve shirt, a white skirt over blue and black leggings, and brown shoes with white soles that look like low-rose Converse. She wears her black hair in pig tails tied back with orange hair ties and often wears large black earrings.
