I’d like to quickly introduce Chajiko, who ended up writing most of this blog post. She is our new costume designer and cosplay enthusiast. Chajiko is a skilled seamstress and has a ton of experience with costuming. We’re very excited to have her blog for Costume Craze — look for her great costume stories soon! She’ll also be writing for MyDisguises, a fun costume blog sponsored by Costume Craze. Best of all, she knows a lot more about Storm than I do. Take it away, Chajiko!
Storm: the original female X-Man, the generous, kind hearted yet stern, charmingly naïve and immensely powerful goddess of the weather.
Possibly the most well-known female superhero, Storm has been a popular costume request for a lot of years, with very little result. At last, however, we have no less than three Storm costumes in this year’s new Women of Marvel line-up!
Encompassing many of Storm’s trademark looks, these costumes reflect not only the classic Storm as she was introduced in Giant Size X-Men #1 (1975), but also recall lines of the costume she wore in the recent X-Men movies. While Storm’s usual look wasn’t a miniskirt, the dark fabric and metallic accents are very much a part of her original costume.
This particular look would be easy to emulate with very little (if any) changes to these costumes as they are! Regardless of what certain well-known super-suit designers say, a cape is essential to a classic super hero.
Add a long black cape (or even a silver or white cape—Storm changed it up a lot, why shouldn’t you?) on top of any of the three new Storm costumes to instantly amp up your look.
Another one of Storm’s trademarks were her thigh-high boots. These are a little harder, as they’re not something one normally has in the closet ready to wear. However, the look can easily be imitated with a pair of black or silver thigh-high stockings for a fraction of the price of actual boots.
The real key in dressing as Storm is in the details. Storm’s unmistakable mane of white hair is essential if you want to make your costume unforgettable. Storm is mainly known for two look: the long, flowing white hair of her original incarnation and the short, whispy bob that Halle Berry sported in the films.
The less well known (but undeniably awesome) 80’s sort of punk incarnation of Storm wore her hair in a magnificent white Mohawk. Unfortunately the Mohawk is out of the question for most of us, but the other two styles are easily attained! We carry three ideal wigs for either Storm style, and they both go swell with the costumes! Our Spirit wig and Chic White & Silver Wig are perfect for that classic Storm look, while our Venturous Storm wig is great for the Halle Berry version.
The very last touch needed to add that final bit of verisimilitude to an already convincing costume comes in the form of white contact lenses. Storm’s eyes, when calling on her mutant power to control the weather, go blank—like a white film has been drawn over her irises. We will have colored contact lenses in stock very soon!
See how easy it is to be awesome? Go Mutant this year! — Chajiko
We saw this awesome photo on MyDisguises, where they recently posted a gallery of Olympic fans cheering in costumes. We sell this exact hat, and it’s wonderful to see it worn at the Olympics!
Our USA Peace Hand Hat is currently on sale for only $18.66! This is a great time to show your patriotism and cheer for the USA as we strive to win the gold medal.
Turns out, this is not “sexy Wolverine” — it’s Wild Thing, Wolverine’s daughter! In an alternate universe, she’s the daughter of Wolverine and Elektra. Interesting! I wonder if X-23 feels left out?

This is so cool! Last weekend, a flash mob formed at a shopping mall in Bristol, England. Out of the blue, over 100 people pulled out lightsabers and created the largest lightsaber battle ever!
This looks like soooo much fun, and it’s a fantastic idea. Lightsabers are a great flash mob prop — they are cheap, lightweight, and easy to hide until it’s time to perform.
If you’ve got a hankering to start your own Star Wars themed flash mob, be sure to check out our full line of lightsabers!

The latest and greatest trailer for Toy Story 3 has just been released, and it looks like so much fun. It’s also a little heartbreaking to see the toys get abandoned when Andy goes off to college.
As Andy prepares to depart for college, Buzz, Woody and the rest of his loyal toys are troubled about their uncertain future. Toy Story 3 is a comical new adventure in Disney Digital 3D that lands the toys in a room full of untamed tots who can’t wait to get their sticky little fingers on these “new” toys. It’s pandemonium as they try to stay together, ensuring “no toy gets left behind.”
Toy Story 3 will be released in theaters on June 18, 2010. Now is a great time to get into the spirit of Toy Story with our fun line of licensed costumes!
