Carbon Costume

Myron (voiced by Martin Villafana) is a character in the Wayside cartoon movie and TV series.  Friends and classmates with Todd, Dana, and Maurecia, Myron is also the one-time class president of Mrs. Jewls‘ class.  He is a little self-absorbed and can come across as rude as a result.  Myron wears small round glasses and his outfit is comprised of several different shades of green.  His clothing consists of light green shorts with a black belt, and a pale green collared shirt under a green sweater.  Lastly, he wears white socks and olive green and white sneakers.

Mr. D – short for Dionysus – is a character in Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+ based on the novels by Rick Riordan. Dionysus is the Greek god of wine. As punishment for going after his favorite wood nymph, Zeus punishes his son to be the camp director at Camp Half Blood for one-hundred years. He’s pretty miserable, especially because he’s forbidden to drink wine…doomed to only drink Diet Coke. In the live action series, Jason Mantzoukas portrays Mr. D with spot-on sarcasm and humor.

Cleveland Brown (voiced most recently by Arif Zahir) is a character in the animated series Family Guy.  He also starred in his own spin-off series The Cleveland Show before it was canceled.  Cleveland lives on Spooner Street with Peter Griffin, Joe Swanson, and Glenn Quagmire.  He has a distinctively slow drawl and is a postal worker.  Though Cleveland occasionally dons different outfits, his primary costume on the show consists of a yellow t-shirt, blue jeans, and brown shoes.  His most important accessory is his mustache.

Shauna (voiced by Mona Marshall) is a minor character in the adult animated series South Park.  She is a student at South Park Elementary alongside Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Eric.  She goes on a date with Jimmy Valmer that ends with her throwing her drink in his face.  Shauna has long ginger hair which she clips on each side with small mint green bows.  She wears a black skirt and black flats.  Her blouse is purple and white with short sleeves and ruffles, so choose a shirt in a similar shade with ruffle details.

Dominique [Domi] (voiced in Japanese by Ai Kayano and in English by Alexis Tipton) is one of the major protagonists in the anime/manga series The Case Study of Vanitas, by Jun Mochizuki.

She is a vampire, much like the majority of the rest of the main cast of the series, and has been very close friends with Noé since they were kids. The main vampire governmental stronghold, Carbunculus Castle, has her currently employed as a knight.

Domi has long black hair that reaches down past her mid-back, and vibrant golden eyes. Her work outfit consists of a white military-styled jacket with pinkish-lavender lined coattails, black and gold accents, and a white and purple sash. Her undershirt is a high-collared black shirt with a matching bowed cravat topped by a vibrant gem. Her pants are white and mostly covered with thigh-high boots, with grey tops, and golden metallic heels and shoe tips. The rest of the look is finished off by dark pinkish-red gloves, and her trademark sword.

Shalnark (voiced in Japanese by Noriko Hidaka and in English by Griffin Burns) is one of the members of the main group of antagonists of the York New arc of the Hunter x Hunter series.

He is one of the initial founding members of the Phantom Troupe, having known Chrollo since they were both very young, with the majority of the members all growing up together in Meteor City. Shalnark’s nen specialty is Manipulation, and he uses a modified cell phone in order to control people like puppets, which also extends to himself, using his autopilot mode to turn him into an extremely powerful fighting force.

His color palette is significantly different in the 1999 adaptation, but in the 2011 version of the anime, he has a much lighter pastel appearance. His hair is a short cut blonde with a slight green wash to it, and his eyes are a mid-toned green. He wears a matching two-piece outfit, with the sleeveless top a light lavender color, with a black under layer, and different shades of teal as the cuffs and waistband, with small white details. The pants are the same lavender shade, and are cuffed just above the ankles, revealing slip on shoes that match the teal detailing on the top.

This past weekend, the 2024 Oscars were more than memorable thanks to Ryan Gosling bringing the Kenergy to the awards with his explosive live performance of ‘I’m Just Ken.’ Although Barbie didn’t win best picture or director, Ryan truly made a lasting impression by flooding our screens and the stage with pink. He was accompanied by a large ensemble of Kens supporting him as background dancers. The look of the performance was inspired by the famous scene featuring Marilyn Monroe’s ‘Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend’ from the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Of course in this case, Ryan is the iconic blonde and the ensemble wear costumes inspired by the men in the ensemble from the film. Choosing this classic film as inspiration is also fitting as Greta Gerwig took a lot of inspiration from large sweeping sound-stage musicals from that time. The I’m Just Ken scene in Barbie is actually inspired by Singin’ in the Rain, from the dream ballet sequence with Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly.

Ryan wore an all-pink outfit to this performance. This can be created by wearing a hot-pink suit, pink shirt, pink gloves, pink socks, black dress shoes, and fashionable black sunglasses. The rhinestones can be added with AB rhinestones and glued with E6000. A black cowboy hat can also be added like he wears in the very beginning of the performance. This would make for a great duo or group costume with your favorite Kens as the background dancers.

Gilbert (voiced in Japanese by Toshiyuki Morikawa and in English by John DeMita) is one of the secondary main characters in the Netflix original anime series B the Beginning.

He works with the R.I.S. as their head forensics coroner, helping give them insight on the nastier parts of their cases. Out of the main cast, the one he’s closest to is Keith, as they have known each other for a very long time, and considers him a mental competitor in study.

Gilbert has white hair that he wears slicked back except for two long strands on either side of his face, and his eyes are a soft, bright blue. He wears a dark grey turtleneck that he has a mid-length white labcoat over, with a pen nested in the pocket. His pants are a pair of light grey slacks, which he wears a black belt on top of, and his shoes are a light grey slip-on formal shoe with a slight heel.
