How to Piece Together Cosplays Using Amazon Prime: Part Two

A few weeks ago I showed you how to use Amazon Prime to piece together 2 cosplays. The cosplays were Suicide Squad's Harley Quinn and Lobo. You missed it?! I'll forgive you, click here for that article. Anyway, this week I'll be using the same criteria to build a Poision Ivy and Constantine cosplay. My criteria was: Do not go over $100, all items must be Prime or Add-On eligible, and all items must have at least a 4 star rating. I actually was able to stay under $50 for both this time.

1) Poison Ivy $49.92

The vixen in green. I started by looking for a green corset. I found one with good reviews for only $19.99 here. I realize that you also need something to cover your booty, got that covered with booty shorts! ($9.99) I realize that you want some leaves, but you may not have time to hand-sew or glue them on. I covered that too by finding tights with a lovely leaf print ($10.15). And, for extra leaves and that bad-girl-vixen feel I also found glovelettes ($9.79).

2) John Constantine $39.94

Ok guys, this is another one where I assumed that you own dark pants and a white button-up shirt. If not, wow. I'll just leave it at that. The important parts of his outfit? His iconic jacket and tie. His double-breasted khaki trench coat totals $31.99. I've seen many variances on his tie. Variances such as color being red or black, and regular cut or skinny cut. I chose this black tie in skinny cut for only $7.95.

I hope this helps all of you cosplayers that want to add your own touch to your cosplays. I know not all of us have the time, money, or skill to build costumes from the ground up. I also get that some of us in the hobby can't afford commission work too. I hope this inspires you to piece together your own costumes. Happy cosplaying.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
