Look at this cosplayer. Now look at the Old Spice Video. Now back to the cosplayer. He may not be the real Old Spice Guy, but he looked like him at the recent Wizard World Con in Chicago last weekend.

Ha, great idea. A very simple costume, but it’s funny and it works. Well done!

Man Lives in TV Show Dog Costume

by manny

Does anyone remember the 80’s TV show, “Here’s Boomer?”

Meet Gary Matthews, a hardcore Furry from Pennsylvania who considers himself more dog than man. He lives in a Boomer costume, he growls, barks and begs in character, and is currently trying to change his name to “Boomer the Dog.”

Matthews often walks through his neighborhood dressed in a dog costume made out of shredded newspaper. He barks at passing cars and trots along as if this were natural.

Our pals at Costume Craze have been making headlines today after unleashing licensed Jersey Shore costumes upon the world.

Frankly, I’m amazed that reality TV show contestants can wind up getting their own costumes. I bet Snooki is just thrilled.

Along with Snooki costumes, you can get The Situation and DJ Pauly D costumes. Check out the full line at Costume Craze.

Almost Transformers Disguised as Appliances

by manny

This video has been out for a while, but I hadn’t seen it until today. Almost Transformers disguises themselves as household appliances, pretty funny!

This is from The Merrick & Rosso Show which appears on the Comedy Channel in Australia. I think their transforming costumes are pretty awesome. Well done!

Ooh, very nice. The Firefly crew in Star Trek costumes!

Alexluko posted this on his Tumbr blog. What a great Photoshop job. I love it!

Though isn’t money obsolete in Star Trek? I’m not sure Mal and the gang would have much to do. “We do the job, no need to pay us.” LOL

Mad Men Costume Party Photos

by manny

AMC’s TV show Mad Men sure is getting popular. It’s so interesting to see a realistic portayal of life in the 1960’s. It’s such a great show. The impressive fashion also gets a lot of attention, to the point where it’s even affecting the styles of today.

Apparently lots of fans like to watch Mad Men in costume, by having viewing parties where everyone dresses up in their best 1960’s fashion. Doesn’t that sound fun?

Gawker has a nice collection of fan-submitted Mad Men cosplay photos. I’m quite impressed! Visit Gawker.com to view their full gallery.

SlashFilm has released set photos of the AMC’s upcoming TV show, The Walking Dead. It’s the story of a group of humans trying to survive a zombie apocolypse, based on the popular comic by Image Comics. The show is set to premier in October, 2010.

While this may not be the most original plots in the world, I’m still incredibly excited to watch this show. AMC has proven track record with Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Their other new show, Rubicon, looks amazing as well.

So what do you think of these zombies?

Mad Men Fashion Show

by manny

Attention Mad Men fans! If you live in Los Angeles, you have the opportunity to attend a Mad Men fashion show and discussion with the show’s costume designer and creator. The event will be held tomorrow, June 9th, in the Bing Theater in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Click Here to buy tickets.

Janie Bryant, Mad Men costume designer, and fashion journalist and author Monica Corcoran Harel will talk about the process and stories behind the clothes and how Mad Men has revolutionized current fashion. A fashion show featuring Bryant’s favorite pieces will follow. Matthew Weiner, creator of the series, will be in attendance.

I think everyone agrees, the costume fashion on Mad Men is beyond fantastic. It’s interesting that the wonderful job they’ve done with 1960’s fashion has actually affected the fashion of today. Not to mention the parodies in the form of Barbie dolls, a Sesame Street skit and good old fashion cosplay.

Aww, what a cute baby Klingon! He’s probably too young to realize he’s a Youtube sensation.

Watch the video below — not only did his mother dress him in a Klingon costume, but she taught him to speak Klingon as well!
