D.I.Y Costumes!!!

Yes!!  I'm back!!

Halloween is right around the corner and I have several entries saved just for this occasion!!

Halloween Entry #1  

Past Halloween and Cosplay

(Part 1)

Ever since I was a baby my mom had always made my Halloween costumes!  

We were ...how can i say this...frugal.. haha

Since then, I've grown up loving the art of creating costumes.. I never wanted to have the same costume as every one else who bought them at the shops. Here's a look back at my past few years of costuming :D

Amy Winehouse

                   

I have always loved Amy... her music.. her style... the first pic here is a photo of me and my ex husband- he's Blake of course lol!

Years later I was invited to a Dead Celebrity party and I chose to be Amy again- my then boyfriend decided to go as Heath in character as Joker.

                 

Playboy Bunny Cocktail Waitress

  

Jem and Tommy Lee

I wanted to go with an 80s theme that year! I LOVEEEEEEE Jem and The Holograms!!  and I LOVE Motley Crue!  So this was perfect D.I.Y. gold!!

Everything was thrifted.. ripped, re-sewn..used my own wigs and make up!

 

White Trash Costume

I attended a screening of The Exorcist in this "trailer trash" get up. Hair in curlers, robe, flip flops, smeared make up, a cigarette and a baby hahah a bit cheeky...

                

              

ZOMBIE WALK

                 

This was my first Tucson Zombie Walk..i went as a zombie bride and i didn't attempt any real zombie make up. The wedding dress was $20 thrifted and i ripped, burned, stained, bloodied it myself..i added a veil, bouquet, and garter. I don't like the red bustier though I later altered this to not include it..

Dia De Los Muertos

My first Day of the Dead Procession in Tucson!  I wore a Devil Wears Prada tank as a dress with garters, a rose crown w/ veil, and Dia De Los Muertos sugar skull make up!!

SKELETON 

                

My first try at a skeleton costume. I made some human skeleton stencils out of poster board and sprayed them onto some black clothes I had....painted my face...

                 

                    

Check back in tomorrow! where

I will continue my journey through costumes of my past !!
