So today I decided that once a week, even if I have nothing to say, I will post something. ANYTHING.
Today's post is about my favorite comic book character, and my cosplay that eventually will be complete: Harley Quinn. I must say, as much as I loved the Suicide Squad version (probably because she spoke to my inner psycho), I love the video game version the best.
(I know, terrible image quality)
This is what I am basing my cosplay on, with a few changes. Black and red split jeans, a corset with red and black skulls, and black motorcycle boots. Also My hair will be half black, half red, no blonde. I doubt I'll do a painted face, maybe heavy eyeliner and smeared lips.
The plan this year was to be Batman villians as a family costume, but we are just doing the kids since we want to save money. However, NO JOKER. Don't get me wrong, he is in my mind the greatest Batman villain, but I don't like the idea of having that turn into a couples costume. They are a horrible couple. If you think they are great, you need to do your research, and I am refraining from badmouthing you right now, LOL. So, Lance decided to be Bane. Honestly, it fits his body type better anyway. Maybe next year we will actually be able to do it.
We went to Spirit Halloween to find stuff for Emily's costume (Poison Ivy, which is harder than I thought for a teen, unless you don't mind sexualizing... I do.) As we were walking out, we scored something awesome! My best friend introduced us to silicone ice molds (I had the sphere ones before, but these are so cool, pun somewhat intended.)
I also want to state that I didn't jump on the bandwagon after Suicide Squad. I wanted to be Harley a long time ago, but was really unhappy with the outfit choices (the full comic outfit shown in the above picture, or a harlequin outfit, which my friend wore and told me she was Harley and I wanted to smack her.) Now I have the opportunity to build my own the way I want, and I'm really excited. I saw my friend evolve into Wonder Woman, and then Catwoman, and it's amazing.
Ok, that's it for now! If you are friends with me on Facebook, keep an eye out for the girls' finished costumes. Also, when I finally get mine done I will definitely post an update on here! Have a wonderful week!
