For the third year in a row, I’m going as Junko Enoshima from Danganronpa. Danganronpa is one of my favorite video games (despite having never actually played it), and Junko’s outfit is the first cosplay I’ve ever done. I even made a lot of it myself, including cross-stitching the pattern on her tie and sewing two bows together for her red-and-white bow. It was a lot of fun, and I’m super proud of it!

I actually have three costumes this year, which is typically unheard of for me. My friend and I are going as Raven and Starfire from the show Teen Titans for one of the nights of Halloweekend as we felt that it suits our personalities very well. On another night as a sort of throw-away, last minute costume, I decided I’m going to be an angel (which, in hindsight, is just an excuse to wear a new white dress I got and didn’t have anywhere to wear!), and the last one is a couple’s costume with my boyfriend and I – we’re going as the nurse and the sailor from the famous 1945 photograph “Kissing the War Goodbye” by Alfred Eisenstaedt. The trickiest part is going to be getting that kissing pose down!

I have two costumes this year. My first one is Velma from Scooby Doo and my second is Bloom from Winx Club. I chose these because they are very cute and I can make it as nice as I can. And they were great from group costumes which is what my friends and I needed.

I adore dressing up for Halloween. This year I had two costumes: on Friday I threw together a last minute Tate Langdon costume. I was really impressed by my own makeup skills, the skeleton face turned out pretty good! I got way more compliments on it than I expected to. For actual Halloween, I’m being Harley Quinn from Birds of Prey. I’ve been so excited about this costume, and I can’t wait to put it all together!
