It's that time again! Time for our monthly round up for costume events happening in the LA area! Here'a a few events we think you'll like! The Original Renaissance Pleasure...

October 27-29th, thousands of nerds trekked to the Los Angeles Convention center for Stan Lee's Los Angeles Comic Con (formerly known as Comikaze Expo). In it's 7th year, LA Comic Con was even bigger than ever and cosplayers from all over came to show off their creations. I had the honor of attending for my 3rd year in a row with a few friends and we spent some time hunting down some of the coolest cosplays in the building to share with you!

If you've ever cosplayed or worked hard to make a screen accurate costume, then you have been in this situation before. You've worked really hard to make sure your movie costume is perfect in every way. You've spent hours researching the costume, looking for pictures with different angles, figured out how to make the different pieces, and spent weeks putting it all together. Now it's time for the finishing piece: your prop weapon. Oh no! All you can find are expensive replicas you'll have to spend hundreds of dollars on! If you don't want to spend that money, you're left with neon orange and white toy costume guns. Those aren't screen accurate at all! So what do you do? In the cosplay world, I'm known as MagicalBlackGirl Cosplay, and I constantly get questions on how I made my Han Solo Blaster. Lucky for you, I have put together an exclusive tutorial for Pure Costumes to teach you an easy way to turn a toy weapon into a more screen accurate version without breaking the bank.

Even heroes need to take a break from being good all the time and take a walk on the wild side! These mashups are the perfect way to show your love for two fandoms at once and have a costume like no other! Today's theme is characters dressed like villains!

When you're tired of showing up to costumed events dressed as your favorite Disney character or superhero, only to find there are dozens of other people dressed just like you,...
