Carmen Sandiego
Carmen Sandiego is a world-class cat thief and head of the criminal organization VILE. She’s able to elude the ACME detective agency as they chase her all over the globe, and teach kids some geography along the way. Unfortunately she rarely stays in San Diego — that would make things too obvious.
Baby Brent
Brent McHale is the town celebrity of Swallow Falls in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. He was the spokesperson for the town’s sardine cannery as a baby and still does guest appearances as Baby Brent – even though it seems wrong for a grown man to be parading around in diapers. He helps Flint and Sam save the town after he becomes Chicken Brent – let’s just say you have to watch the movie to know what that means.
Alex Vause
In Orange is the New Black, Alex Vause (Laura Prepon) is Piper Chapman’s ex-lover who gets them busted running drugs for an international cartel. No surprise that Piper is none too pleased when Alex shows up at her prison.
Sister Jude from American Horror Story: Asylum
Sister Jude wasn’t always managing a mental institution with an iron fist. The vicious nun used to wow audiences as a nightclub singer. This sultry history makes her a great character to cosplay but make sure you stick with a red chemise. Otherwise people will think you’re the standard “sexy” nun.
Angel of Death from American Horror Story: Asylum
The Angel of Death doesn’t fit the dark cloak and scythe stereotypes we’re all used to. In fact, the bearer of bad news, or good if you’re a patient at Briarcliff, has a lot of style. From her pillbox hat to red lipstick, the Angel of Death could easily pass as a 1940’s grieving housewife if it wasn’t for the black feathered wings.
Malcolm Reynolds
Mal Reynolds is the captain of the Serenity crew in the Firefly series. Despite his tough guy exterior, he really has a heart of gold. He helps River and Simon Tam hide from the Alliance, even if it means putting himself and his crew in danger.
Björk
Björk’s white swan dress, made by Macedonian designer Marjan Pejoski, was worn to the 2001 Academy Awards. The dress is one of the most memorable Oscar outfits ever. Björk laying eggs as she walked the red carpet might have something to do with that.
Macho Man Randy Savage
Macho Man Randy Savage wore a variety of colorful costumes during his career as a professional wrestler. From his tassel covered suits and cowboy hats to the simple star covered pink trunks, the raspy voiced entertainer was always a sight to behold. Even if you’re not a fan of wrestling you’re probably guilty of saying “Snap into a Slim Jim” at least once while passing a Slim Jim display. It’s okay, we’ve all done it. Ooooh yeah!
Pee-wee Herman
Played by Paul Reubens, Pee-wee Herman is a cheerful, child-like character who surrounds himself wacky gadgets and quirky neighbors. That’s not to say he doesn’t have a darker side — when he doesn’t get his way, he loses patience and drops devastating bombs like “I know you are but what am I?”
