No "12 Cosplays" this year...

My many apologies, folks, but I will not be doing "12 Cosplays of Christmas" this year. I know it's as traditional as eggnog and gingerbread ever since I started this blog. However, I have so much going on right now with the holidays coming near.

1. I just got a new job at the local commissary.
2. My folks and I are leaving both this weekend and next weekend (Christmas weekend) for family visits.
3. I'm constantly forgetting I have a laptop, so I just leave it to collect dust...

I will meet you all next year with my annual double-post Valentine's recipes. Again, because of my holiday schedule and some new things going on in my life, I won't be doing 12 Cosplays of Christmas 2015. My heart and many prayers off to my beloved fans during this dark time. One more thing before I wrap this up...

Have a Merry Christmas 2015 and a Happy New Year 2016!!! *<^(w)^ .o*

13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015 - Dr. Stein (Soul Eater)

Day 13! ^^ Our last recipe for 13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015! Before we pull the plug on this for another year, let's start one more spark with Dr. Stein from "Soul Eater!"

Here he is! ^^

What you need to assemble him:

• A short gray wig
• A gray headband
• Fake round glasses
• A skinny black PVC pipe
• Thick cardboard
• A white lab coat
• A gray turtleneck
• Gray or black pants
• Gray shoes
• Glue
• Any type of black tape (electrical, Gorilla, etc.)
• A black eyeliner pencil or facial crayon

How to assemble him:

1. Cut up the cardboard into a couple of circles and cut a bar through one of them. Glue the halves onto the other and leave it to dry. This will make the top of the flathead screw.
2. Cut a portion of the PVC pipe. Cut that portion in half and glue the halves and the cardboard screwtop to the headband. Once the glue's dry, wrap them in tape.
3. Now for the clothing! Get dressed and get the wig on.
4. Draw some scars on yourself, slip on the glasses and the headband, spread out the hair and now you're done!

Now, I'll take a month long break to plan my recipes for December. So to close this up, hope you've enjoyed this recipe and 13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015! One more thing...

Have a happy Halloween! ^w^

13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015 - Whomp (Super Mario)

Day 9! ^^ 4 more recipes! Today's gonna be a bit rocky because it's the Whomp from the "Mario" series!

Here it is! ^^ Many thanks to the Mario Wiki for letting me use this!

How to assemble it:

• A cardboard box (Preferably one from a TV or any large appliance)
• A box cutter
• A pair of scissors
• Duct tape in standard grey
• Duct tape sheets in red, white and black
• Grey clothing (i.e. sweatpants, Under Armour clothes, etc.)
• Grey gloves
• Grey shoes
• A marker (Can be Sharpie or whatever you like)

How to assemble it:

1. Let's start with the box. Cut off the flaps and start wrapping the box with the grey duct tape.
2. Somebody can mark where your eyes and arms are with the marker. Slip out and cut out the holes they made.
3. Cut up the tape sheets for the Whomp's facial components (eyes, mouth, teeth, etc.) and stick them on there. Using the box cutter, cut any tape over the holes. You can either tuck them in the box and stick the remains inside or just cut out the remaining tape altogether.
4. Slip into any grey clothing you have, slip on the gloves and the box and now you're done!

Because of the size of the costume, this is best for if you're gonna pass out candy rather than being at a party or with a bunch of kids. Hope you guys enjoyed!
