13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015 - Dazzlings (Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks)

Hey, everybody! ^^ Bri here. Time to bring out the jack-o-lanterns and those full-size bars because it's 13 Cosplays of Halloween time again!! As I mention every year, these recipes are not just for conventions in October. They're also for those who want to add a pixely or otaku-y touch to their Halloween.

Let's bust a jam to start this off because it's the Dazzlings from "My Little Pony: Rainbow Rocks!"

Here they are! ^^ Left to right: Aria Blaze, Adagio Dazzle and Sonata Dusk.

Another shot of them! ^^ Many thanks to the MLP Wiki for letting me use this and the picture far above!

First, let's focus on the leader Adagio. Here's what you need for her:

• An orange curly wig
• Yellow, gray and white face paint
• A light purple vest and matching jeans
• A dark purple strapless top or tank top, matching shorts and boots
• Gold anklets
• A gold belt
• Light purple fingerless gloves
• A black scrunchie

Now for Sonata Dusk:

• A light blue straight wig
• Blue, gray and white face paint
• A maroon dress shirt
• Pink or purple spiked bracelets
• A pink skirt
• Pink and white boots
• A dark blue hair tie or scrunchie

Finally, for Aria Blaze:

• A purple straight wig
• White craft foam
• Barettes
• A denim vest
• Hair ties
• Scissors
• A white tank top
• A purple belt
• Purple jeans
• Matching boots
• A safety pin

How to assemble them:

1. Get dressed.
2. Mix a couple of the face paints and apply the mix onto your face. Repeat for the eyeshadow, but mix in the gray paint.
3. For those who want to be Aria, make several stars and glue a few onto some barrettes. Place them stars-down and leave them alone to dry.
4. Apply the wig and style it to any of the girls' hairstyles. How to do each of them will be at the end of this post.
5. Now for their pendants! Just get a vampire choker and put it on.
6. Put on the respective accessories and now you're done!

Now, before I end this, a few notes for step 3:

• For Adagio, put it in a high ponytail, fluff it out and adjust the bangs.
• Repeat for Sonata, but don't fluff the ponytail.
• For Aria, part the hair, put the hair into pigtails and leave a bit of the hair ties loose. Clip the barrettes onto the loose loop.

Hope you enjoyed, folks! ^^

Many apologies!

Hey, guys! Bri here. I deeply apologize for not posting my annual Back-to-School recipes, but I was extremely busy and I guess... I forgot about them. I'm moving the uniforms I picked to my 12 Cosplays of Christmas event.

I'm working on the recipes for 13 Cosplays of Halloween right now. Again, I'm sorry for no school uniform recipes.

Sorry, guys!

Hey, guys! Bri here. I regret to inform you all that there's no St. Patrick's Day recipe this year.

• My internet's been acting wonky lately.
• I've been busy with my dad's new garden and my regular stuff, such as errands and whatnot.

So again, I deeply apologize for no recipe today. However, I am making one for Easter, so stay tuned, folks! In my usual manner...

Have a great St. Patrick's Day! [|:3>

Chinese New Year 2015 - New Zealand (Hetalia)

Hey, guys! ^^ Today, we're trotting out of the Year of the Horse and butting into the Year of the Goat! Or Ram or Sheep, whichever you prefer... ^^; Anyways, in celebration of Chinese New Year (and as a gift of appreciation for my Kiwi viewers), we'll be focusing on New Zealand from "Hetalia!"

Here's a pic of him! ^^ Many thanks to Zerochan for letting me use this!

 

Here's what you need to assemble him:

• A red blazer
• A white captain's hat
• Black pants
• A white single-strap backpack
• Gold craft rope
• Black, red and gold sheets of felt
• Red and gold ribbon
• A brown or dirty blonde wig
• Cool curlers
• Hairspray

How to assemble him:

1. Get dressed.
2. Cut up the felt (i.e. black for the cuffs, gold for the trimming, etc.) and some of the gold ribbon for the blazer and have somebody pin them on for you. Give it to them so they can sew them on.
3. Meanwhile, measure out the red ribbon for the pants and cut out the desired length. Do the same with the gold ribbon around the hat.
4. Glue the felt onto the hat and sew the ends of the gold ribbon.
5. Now for the hair! Put on the wig and with the rollers or your finger, curl part of it. NOTE: Do NOT heat up the roller! Keep it cool! The plastic fibers in the wig can melt and burn you!
6. Put on some hairspray and once it's hard, remove the roller or your finger.
7. By then, the jacket might be done. If it is, put it on.
8. Sew on the rope, put on the backpack, grab a sheep or kiwi plush and now you're done!

Hope you enjoyed and Gong Hay Fat Choy! ^^

Valentine's Day 2015 - Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)

Here's part 2, folks! ^^ Time to break out the extra fancy ramen because it's Naruto, also from, well, "Naruto!"

How to assemble him:

1. Make the patch on Naruto's shoulder by cutting out some gray paper and the tube.
2. Follow the same directions as Hinata, but on the hair, take some gel and sculpt your hair into spikes. Afterwards, leave it to dry.
3. After the gel is dry, put on the headband across your forehead.
4. Safety pin the makeshift patch onto your left shoulder.
5. Now to seal the beast! Not really... ^^; Just take the face crayon and draw on some whiskers on your cheeks.
6. Slip on the sandals and now you're done!

Join me next week for the Chinese New Year recipe! Hope you enjoyed my first posts of the year and...

Happy Valentine's Day! <3

Valentine's Day 2015 - Hinata Hyuga (Naruto)

Hey, guys! ^^ It's me again. I'm back from New Year's break, so let's focus on the annual double-post Valentine's recipes!

Now, we all know that the Naruto manga ended last year. If not, that's the only spoiler I'll spill to you guys. Anyways, in honor of the wrap-up, I thought I would make today's posts focus on the pairing NaruHina. Not sure what that is? Today's recipes can answer that. ^^

Now, as I annually do it, let's focus on Hinata first. ^^

Here's a picture of her! ^^ Many thanks to the Naruto Wiki for letting me use this!

 

Here's what you need for her:

• A long, straight, black wig
• Grey or white eye contacts
• A Naruto headband in black
• A mesh tank top
• A purple and gray jacket
• Capri-style sweatpants
• Velcro sandals
• Rolled bandages
• Black duct tape
• A small box
• Scissors

Here's how to assemble her:

1. Get dressed.
2. Wrap part of your pants with the bandages. Tie the ends together once you get the desired amount.
3. Wrap the box in the duct tape and place it over the bandaged area on your outer thigh. Cut some of duct tape and lightly wrap it once around the box.
4. Now for the tricky part! Put on the contacts carefully and make sure they're comfy on your eyes.
5. Put on the wig and the sandals and now you're done!

Hope you enjoyed! ^^
