Lydia Deetz cosplay

While reading through the people I follow on Twitter (@kostumegirl) today I came across a tweet from @cosplayamerica Comic Alliance "Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 08.22.11" There are undoubtedly some talented costume artists featured here but I stopped an marveled at the Lydia Deetz photograph. WOW. Now this is attention to detail! Not only is Beetlejuice one of my favorite movie ever but I LOVE Lydia Deetz. People used to always say I looked like her in high school. Couldn't we all relate to the quote, "Charles: As soon as we get settled, we'll build you a dark room in the basement, okay? Lydia: My whole life is a dark room. One big dark room."? Teen angst at its finest. This costume makes me want to go home and sew!
This costume was done by a Cosplayer named Ryoko-demon.

Springtime: Blooms and Brains!

Ahh Spring is in the air. Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, there's a pack of ravenous undead monsters searching for brains to gorge on... wait.. WHAT the WHAT?!!??

It can only be The 4th Annual Spring Time NYC Zombie Crawl!!

As the ground thaws it becomes much easier for zombies to dig their way out of their un-final resting places and terrorize your neighborhood. You will see the area zombies assembling around 3pm on Sunday May 29th 2011 at a yet to be determined NYC location.

Check out Squirelle and Paul at last years event in the Village Voice. They are famous! Gore-tastic!





This zombie event is sponsored by Halloween Adventure. A truly terrifying and terrific resource for all you need to look your undead best. REMEMBER: Mention "Zombie Crawl" when buying makeup and props and you'll get 10% off your purchase all year long!
