These are all the costumes I have made and love and have nowhere else to put. They aren't specifically a movie or a show or something, they're just lots of different things. BUT I STILL LOVE THEM, AWWW. No seriously, here's a bunch of random costumes. ;D
Worn at: Katsucon '04
Status: Active
Group: N/A
Character: Dr. Cube is so classic, I love him. He's the villain of Kaiju Big Battel! (WRESTLING IS FAKE. MONSTERS ARE REAL!) I decided on this costume about 2 weeks before the con, and I magically found a box that would work out perfectly within those two weeks. My sister helped me spraypaint it and get it to a point where it was wearable without me passing out inside. It was awesome because there were some people who actually knew who Dr. Cube was, which kicked ass. There were people who even yelled at me down the hall, "YOU WILL NEVER WIN DR. CUBE!" I almost cried of happy. XD
I'm would absolutely love to wear this costume again. I'm just not sure when. And it's one of those that would be way more fun with a group. Come on, look at all the characters!

Fun things: It was comfortable. We padded the box all nice.
Bad things: The box still smelled slightly of spraypaint. So I basically got high off of it all day. D:
Worn at: Dragon*Con '07, Anime USA '08
Status: Retired
Group: w/ Erin as Harley Quinn
Character: When Erin told me she was gonna do Harley Quinn at D*C, we joked around with the idea that I should do Poison Ivy, since they're best buddies. And then it turned into an actual costume. Hehe. I didn't really want to go with the green tights and bodysuit like normal since it's kind of basic (unless I put the leaves all over it, which I didn't have the patience/skill for, lol) -- so this kind of turned into an original design kind of thing. I meshed a whole crazy slew of elements together and came up with this. And I really like it. :D
I was especially happy with how the boots turned out; they started out black and I had to spraypaint them. I love the color they ended up and even though they are not very comfortable, I still am in a big state of YAY over them. We wore the costumes again at Anime USA 2008 and had a ball in them, as always. Although, for some stupid reason I forgot to wear my gloves that day. I got back to the room and they were sitting on the bed. I wondered how I forgot them. I have no idea. XD When Erin retired her Harley costume, I retired this one because it would just be no fun without her as Harley~!

Dragon*Con 2007:
Anime USA 2008:

Fun things: I am really happy overall with the way it turned out. Especially the way the greens ended up matching -- BEING GREEN WAS FUN. Hehe. XD
Bad things: The boots hurt like a major bitch. Duuuuude.
Worn at: Otakon '04
Status: Active
Group: w/ Ronnie as Thug!Luigi
Character: Like Hannah, this could be another in the let's-femme-up-a-guy-character series. Ronnie and I decided to be Mario and Luigi at Otakon 2004 -- except I was going to be a femmed out version of Mario and he was going to be a thugged out version of Luigi. We had a lot of fun with the costumes and they got a good response. :D
Classic moment though was that we ended up getting changed into them in the parking garage near the convention center, lolol. OH, US.

Pictures:

Fun things: It's RED. And me + accessories = go wild. I think my absolute favorite part was the mushroom earring.
Bad things: I never got a chance to put on the makeup or anything cause we didn't have time (and again, parking garage. hahahaah), but I think it turned out okay besides that~!
Worn at: Dragon*Con '03
Status: Retired
Group: N/A
Character: This was just an original design thrown together for the Tribe track at Dragon*Con. The costumes on the show look like a mix of random and usually mismatched things, seeing as how there are NO adults left to tell them they look stupid. XD So I just took a bunch of things and threw it all together.

Pictures:

Fun things: The makeup. And the hair. I didn't know what to do for it, so my sister just started messing around. And it came out awesome. The costume was pretty comfortable too.
Bad things: The hair was a bitch to take out. But other than that, nothing bad!
Worn at: Dragon*Con '03, MD Renn Fest '03 (pirate weekend) & Halloween '03
Status: Retired
Group: w/ Valerie as another pirate!
Character: Shiver me timbers, bitches! <3 ARG!! So me, my sister and a bunch of us at Dragon*Con decided to be pirates (this was before Pirates of the Caribbean came out too... so PotC just made us want to do it even more after that!) and these costumes were born. After D*C, we also wore these at the Maryland Renn Fest on Pirate weekend and on Halloween!
This is one of those awesome types of costumes to have for times when you're like, "I WANT TO WEAR A SIMPLE COSTUME TO [insert event here], BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT!" Pirates, yo. Be a pirate. Easy costume and it gives you an excuse to get tipsy and be all, "WHERE'S THE RUM?"

Pictures:

Fun things: It was SO COMFORTABLE. That was the best part. And all the accessories made it all the more fun, especially threatening people with the cheesy fake dagger and screaming pirate-like obscenities. XD
Bad things: Nothing at all!
Worn at: Halloween '05
Status: Retired
Group: w/ mah momma as another zombie!
Character: For Halloween in 2005, we had the idea to do zombie-tacular things at Casa de My House. So I found an old 80's looking prom dress (which was too small -- but look at it! I couldn't pass it up! SO 80'S~ XD) at the thrift store and threw on some makeup! Now, this was after I got home from work -- the makeup part, so we ended up only doing it on my face even though my shoulders and arms were out. But I didn't care. I had fun and I loved this. I WAS A PROM ZOMBIE. A prombie. XD

Pictures:

Fun things: I know it's bad, but having little kids be like D: when they came up to the house and saw me. The makeup was fuuuuun.
Bad things: The dress sadly, was a size too small for me so it wouldn't zip up all the way. Hehe~ But it stayed on and that's what matters. Also, going into the grass in heels cause they would sink in the soil. XD
