Can you believe that Long Beach Comic Con will be here this weekend? A few weeks ago, we challenged Southern California cosplayer, Super Batboy Cosplay, to create a totally new costume out of an existing one. He jumped right in to the challenge by attempting to transform a simple black bodysuit into a Black Suit Spider-Man costume.

DIY costumes are as popular as ever, and for good reason! They’re usually more cost-effective and they allow you to express your creativity. Luckily, Pure Costumes has tons of fun accessories and costume kits that are perfect for DIYers. This year, my favorite costume kits are the new Pokemon kits.

There are a lot of cosplay events this month across the nation including two big events, San Diego Comic-Con and the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, WI. As you know, we like to share with you costume ideas based on events that are happening around the country and today is no different...

If you’re prepping for your Star Wars Day celebration and need a costume to wear, we’re going to show you how to create your own Princess Leia cosplay! Star Wars recently revealed plans for its Princess Leia comic book mini-series which included an updated look for the rebel leader. In the new cover, it shows Princess Leia dressed in a white bodysuit, vest, gloves and boots.

If you’re looking for a great activity for the family, the Renaissance Pleasure Faire is a must! As Southern California’s largest and most popular Renaissance fair, it’s one of the most exciting events of the year. Their goal is to recreate what it was like to live in the “Old World” from the costuming, the speech, sceneries, and more which makes it not only whimsical and fun, but also educational!

This year, we’re excited to bring aboard a bunch of new styles for our steampunk enthusiasts. We know that for a lot of cosplayers, steampunk is one of the hardest looks to achieve mostly because there are no specific characters to emulate, and also because of all the details required of a steampunk outfit.

Mad Max Fury Road may be getting lots of rave reviews, but it all started with the original in the 1980s. Before Mel Gibson got weird on everyone, he was one of the top action stars in Hollywood. His bad boy persona in the film Mad Max was just the beginning of his domination as an action hero on the silver screen.

The Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball is an exciting annual event in Los Angeles that brings together some of Southern California’s most enthusiastic fantasy cosplayers! This event draws inspiration from Venetian Carnival and combines the whimsical charm of faerie folklore to produce an epic masquerade ball that brings wild dreams to life.

It’s that time again! We’re back with more local costume events for the month of August. Here in California, there’s always a reason to celebrate in costume and this month is no different. Every weekend has a fun and exciting costume event going on. From Renaissance festivals to fan conventions, check out our calendar to see what’s happening in your neighborhood.

It’s no secret that California loves to party. Once again, a big summer rave is coming to town. HARD Summer is an annual musical festival organized by one of the biggest EDM production companies in the business...

DreamWorks has given us some of the most memorable cartoon characters including Shrek, Po from Kung-Fu Panda, and the lovable Penguins of Madagascar. Recently, they’ve created another great story called Home which follows the story of Oh, another unlikely hero to love.

With the recent release of the new Minions movie, those funny little creatures have never been more popular. In fact, we’ve noticed that Minion parties are becoming more and more popular. That’s why today, we want to show you how to host a summer movie party with a fun Minion theme.
