New York Comic Con Is Almost Here!

As much as I'd love to comic con hop like many people I know, I don't always have the free time. My main jam will always be New York Comic Con. I've been attending since before Reedpop owned them in 2006. It's the Comic Convention I always try to clear up room for. I remember when there weren't that many people in attendance and there was such a special magical feel to it. Nowadays it's very populated and still holds some magic but in a different way. 

Hey Horror Fans, 

Michael Myers is back with a vengeance... well, sort of. 

Halloween might have been yesterday, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little Michael Myers in your life all your round thanks to Mezco Toyz.

This one is for my horror & action figure fans! John Carpenter debuted his film "Halloween" in October 1978. Little did he know that he had created a masterpiece for horror culture many pay homage to in their own films till this day. He also created a die hard (like Michael) fandom of Michael Myers fans. Michael Myers is terrifying. Though I am a fan, if I saw someone seriously approaching me dressed as Michael Myers and not uttering a word, I would probably run for the hills and never look back. Michael was a twisted, mysterious little boy from Haddonfield who killed his older sister and became a crazy, murderous, soul less eyed adult who wore a white mask and was often referred to as "The Shape"... he was also trying to kill the other sister he left behind.

The story of everyday girls like you and I, in a little town who worked as babysitters getting murdered on a mans quest to kill his sister seemed pretty possible which made this story quite scary. Long story short, Michael Myers is a horror icon and the Mezco Toyz 'The One:12 Collective Michael Myers Halloween' figure will mesmerize you. It's truly beautiful in the creepiest way possible. The details will knock you out your socks. His eyes still piercing as ever. The figure also brings great accessories from the film like the ghost sheet & Judith Myers tombstone.  

Read the information and enjoy viewing the great photos of the Michael Myers figure in action below. This figure is available for pre-order now and is expected to ship sometime between June - August 2018. Check out the Mezco Toyz website HERE.

Hello Nubians,

We Love To Cosplay...

Hello Nubians,

New York Comic Con Was So Much Fun! Here's One Of My Cosplay Stories...

Hey Nubians, 

Relax. Refresh. Renew.

Hey Nubians, 

Trick or Treat? I'm sure most of you ladies are getting comfortable with the Fall season. Looking through your clothing and pulling out all of your light jackets and sweaters, figuring out what trends you want to follow, denim? velour? So many options. I just flew back to Las Vegas from New York and it's already getting pretty chilly out there. Vegas is slowly getting nippy too. 

Also let's talk Halloween! I LOVE Halloween. Probably more than Christmas. One of my favorite things to do besides going out to enjoy the fun decorations is staying home and watching retro Halloween cartoons and films. I like watching the friendly films such as Hocus Pocus but then I also like watching the more brutal films like Halloween/Michael Myers & A Nightmare on Elm Street. 

I think my style... 

Hey Nubians, 

By Halloween Nails, I Meant A Sweet Cameo By Michael Myers Himself! 



I wanted to give myself a 'Fall is approaching' manicure but didn't want to go straight for orange or hunter green which are usually my go-to colors. I decided to do a cool grey nail. I had the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color 'Show Steeler' nail polish which I had never used and it was just what I was looking for. Perfection. I love the color! It's a little something different. It dries very quickly which is a big perk for my clumsy butt and it has a pretty shine to it without needing a clear top coat. My nails feel so pretty. I'm very picky with nail polish but I highly recommend the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line. I've had good experiences with it. I despise when the color on my nails chips quickly and that doesn't happen with Insta-Dri. 

Hey Nubians, 

Gosh I can't wait for Halloween... 



Which is one of the reasons I loved receiving this email from Mezco Toyz. I became a big fan of Mezco Toyz about 2-3 years ago because of the detail that goes into their action figures and dolls. They design & create comic, TV, movie, and pop culture action figures for all ages. 

I've been yearning for Fall lately and I'm a big time lover of Halloween. It's always been my favorite Holiday. I love horror movies, even the ones that actually manage to scare me (there aren't many). I was smitten when I saw The Living Dead Dolls Resurrection X collection . The Mezco Living Dead Dolls are eery as hell and quite popular! These are already sold out! *sigh*

I still wanted to share them because I admire the craftsmanship. I mean realistically, picture one of these on your bookshelf... you might be inspired to write a novel based on the creepiness alone. It's like they stare back. I love them! They make parts of me happy. They're also wearing real clothing and come in a coffin which is pretty sweet.

Hello Nubians,


This year Halloween was sooooo much fun! I officially walked in the Village Halloween Parade for the first time (most years I would just go to it and be a drunk viewer ha ha). I also had a very scary costume I'm going to tell you about. For my Halloween costume this year, I was a Kuchisake-onna.

"Kuchisake-onna (口裂け女?, "Slit-Mouthed Woman") is a figure appearing in Japanese urban legends. She is a woman who was mutilated by her husband, and returns as a malicious spirit."

This costume idea came about when I have having a conversation with my sister in law Kaori about a kimono I purchased at a thrift store. One thing led to another and she recommended I be a Kuchisake-onna for Halloween. I liked the idea being that I love Japanese culture and horror movies. I couldn't wait to put it all together. This is another great tag team by Kaori and myself, she made my AMAZING Ghost Rider wig for my New York Comic Con cosplay. Below I'll tell you about what she made for this Kuchisake-onna look. If you're ever looking for someone to possibly make cool costumes, molding wigs, or even amazing hair styles for a grand event, hit her up at kingyo.m28@gmail.com or kaori_m28@hotmail.com and hopefully she'll be available. I only recommend amazing people and she's crazy talented and crafty.

Step 1
First Kaori made a Japanese Kanzashi hair piece out of 2 metal chopsticks I gave her that I had lying around. She used a belly dancing belt and ripped of some of the coins and beads to create a flower. Looks so legit! I would wear this hair accessory on any given regular day, it's very pretty.


Step 2
The Kimono I had was kind of small. So we thought it would be best that I wore it over another one, preferably a white one. The only problem is I didn't have a white kimono! Kaori said she would do her best to make one (even though she never had before) and asked me for a twin size sheet set. I found a sheet set that was off white and dropped it off at her place. Before you know it, this happened! She made this photo so you can see which pieces from the bed set were used. I love how she used the pillow case embroidery for the collar. It looks even better in person.


Step 3
Myself and Kaori both worked on the makeup. I covered myself in white face paint which you can easily find at Walgreens or Duane Reade. A good way to get this makeup to look bold faster and not so oily is to start with a primer and a layer of your own skin tone foundation. This serves as a first layer. After that, you can start applying the white face paint and it goes on smoother and better pigmented. When you're satisfied, take away any shine you don't like with a nice setting powder. I used 2 different tones of red blush for my eyes (because I didn't have red eye shadow with me) and Kaori did the crazy looking slit mouth. We both went crazy with the fake blood all over my outfit and my face and everywhere ha ha it looked so scary and it was fun to do. I used red contacts to give the look an extra demon-ish effect.

Step 4 
My sister-in-law did a messy Nihongami hair style. I'm pretty sure she told me she did this once in beauty school in Japan where she obtained her license. She made it look a bit messy on purpose and pulled out some stray hairs because hello! I was a malicious spirit after all. She did a great job on the look and added some accessories to my hair she made from fabric as well as the Kanzashi.
