I've always been a fan of the famous Lord of the Rings saga. I made sure to read all the books back in high school and now that I'm older, I can't imagine I had the time and patience to finish them. It's a long novel with complicated words so I always have a dictionary with me whenever I read.

 

"Oh, good! You're finally here, Vegeta! But, This is my birthday, not a Halloween party. 

So, why are you sitting around in your combat gear? What's wrong? 

You look even more sullen than usual. Mad that humans do this little thing called aging 

and your poor wife's another year older? Forget the powers. 

The best part of being a Saiyan must be never having to worry about losing your looks."

-Bulma to husband, Vegeta (Dragon Ball, 1986)

I probably spent the first 12 years of my life watching reruns of Dragon Ball after school. For Day 5, I decided to do a tribute to my fave childhood anime. I would've been Goku or Android 18 but I already have a teal wig so doing a Bulma cosplay was the easiest to achieve, given the time. I believe Bulma was the funniest (as far as i can remember). She's the exact opposite of her husband, the Saiyan Prince Vegeta, and it made their relationship even funnier to watch.

Bulma rocking Reebok Instapump Fury! Haaaaaaa.

Everything was done last minute, including this belt bag! It's not even stitched yet! Hahaha glue gun and pins to the rescue!!! I also laser cut the word BULMA on my dress in freestyle so the font is a bit messy :(

The DIY Dragon Ball I'm holding is actually a golden, round vase i got from H&M! 

You can actually peek the top of the vase on some photos that I forgot to cover... <./3

I think this one is my favorite costume so far.

Thanks for dropping by everyday guys :(

2 more down and it's finally over, which means... Halloween is also over.

You can beg better than that!"

-Gogo Yubari, Kill Bill: Vol 1 (2003)

I made it out alive! Craziest and busiest weekend and i finally managed to post Day 2 out of 7!  I live for Quentin Tarantino movies and Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 are my top faves. I guess this year I'm dressing up as badass lady killers... I seriously wish I could dress up as all the characters from the movie because i cant pick a fave out of Bill's lady assassins. Since i already have Gogo Yubari's costume from my personal closet, this will do. 

The OG <3

Perks of having 5 brothers? I can use them as human props when I need one... or two. 

The only thing i made for this costume is the weapon and the blazer. I was so close to cutting my bangs for this look but then decided to not get carried away.

Thanks for dropping by! I'm 3 days late from my posts so I might spam my costumes this week.

Hopefully. We'll see. heeeeeeeee.

Mathilda: "Is life always this hard, or is it just when you're a kid?"

Léon: "Always like this."

It's not so hard to cosplay characters when you love the film so much. I decided to do 7 DAYS of HALLOWEEN until the 31st so I can showcase all my favorite characters/films while dressing up as them. Halloween week is the busiest time on my calendar because im always fully booked for costumes and events. My way of distressing? Add more stress for myself and commit to this stuff hahahaha anyway, I wore this to work and took photos. Hopefully, i can do this in real time.

Because my boyfriend is too busy to do this with me, I managed to convince my brother to cosplay as Leon. The funny thing is that, all the clothes he's wearing (except the pants) are actually mine! Lol

Leon: The Professional is one of the few films I've watched for like, a hundred times. You know when you're a kid and you watch spy/killer movies and you get to a phase where in you wanna learn to man guns and shoot things? Well, i never got over that phase. This film is pretty melancholic. It has a bittersweet ending but it teaches you that life doesn't always go as planned. Shit happens. I dont know how to put it in words (I was never good with words), but this movie has a very special place in my heart. Its like knowing you're not the only one who feels sad and empty from time to time. I'm not gonna say i can relate to Mathilda's story, but i do know how it feels to want revenge and be angry with the world. Idk about y'all, i just love Mathilda. Byee-

Guns N' Plants (pun intended) 

So i was holding my phone...... take 2.

All pieces of clothing i wore are from my wardrobe already. 

The only thing i bought for this costume is my wig. 

Tip: If you're gonna cosplay her, watch the film first! Dont be a poser lol

Thanks for dropping by!!!!

Now off to shoot my DAY 2 look and finish all the costumes due tomorrow.

See it first on my IG account, follow me @evaaguspina
