Mr. Box Office Costume Edition

On this episode of Mr. Box Office "Major Justice" the wardrobe team had to dress each of the actors/actress in a super hero costume. This was extremely exciting, and interesting. We were able to use our creative sides when picking out outfits and themes for each actor/actress. 

You might not see it at first, or last...but heres Tony Roberts & Alex Thomas in there all black suits!! Such a pleasure to work with these two. They are always cracking jokes and are a blast to be around. 

My two favorite favorite looks. Essence Atkins was dressed as Cat Lady & Vivica Fox was dressed as Ba-Bam Lady! They both look striking and firece in their costumes, even with a cat on her head Essence still looks graceful! These two ladies can rock any look!! They make our jobs very easy :)

My Last Minute Halloween Costume

For Halloween I didn't have much time to find a costume and do the whole shing dig. I had to work that day which is no excuse, but I will use it as my excuse haha* So I stopped at a local mall & saw these snake skin jeans. Once I saw them I knew I would be an 80's Rock Star for Halloween! I picked up this bedazzled bra at the same mall for around $30.00 totally worth it in my not so humble opinion.  

I got this fabulous Wig from L.A. Style Fashion Week for only $60 bucks. What a deal considering how soft and natural it feels. 

I loved the color combo of this wig. One of my favorites hands down. Especially since I knew I wasn't going to be able to get my hair done prior to going out. 

You know I had to strike a Fierce pose! I wouldn't be So Snazzy without one! Rock on Sugalips

I need a backstage groupie then I'll be complete. 

Behind the scenes shots! I love these curls....the colors are delicious!! 

Close up look of my hair & makeup. I did my own makeup which took me the longest, about an half & hour or so. I love painting my face !! Halloween was a ton of fun & I loved seeing all the other costumes & sexy guys & ladies :-*

Hope you enjoyed :-)

I had to stay by the walk-abouts throughout the show to take off their heads and costumes! They were troopers. 

She made he costume all by herself & her wings were movable & lit up! Amazing right

This guy took home the 1st place prize for the Mad Genius category- took him $1000-$1500 to make! 

Ice man!! 

The makeup artist that worked on this man were amazing. Absolutely talented. 

All the mummies costumes that wardrobe & I made!! They looked amazing & had to dance in these :) They loved us.

I had an amazing time, but with good times comes hard work. Some nights were really long & some nights were a piece of cake. Some of my duties were:
buying costumes-masks-props-etc.
trying on costumes
wrapping mummie costumes
steaming
assisting with fittings
delivering costumes & supplies
taking pictures of different looks
pinning & sewing costumes
cleaning up and organizing

Vintage meets Snazzy

Once upon a time while I was in San Pedro at a thrift store off of 8th and Pacific, I spent almost an hour searching through the racks for something spectacular.  Maybe a Marilyn Monroe dress or a Picasso painting, or something more in my price bracket (Don't forget this is fashion on a budget.) I found a couple items that would be a good addition to my fall collection, and then I stumbled upon this master piece!

  

I grabbed this beautifully constructed number that was marked at $100.00 so fast that I dropped the other items in my hand that couldn't compare to that dress. (Of course I picked them back up later o_o )

My first thought was, "That's an obvious steal," but with my bargaining skills I knew I would've been able to talked the lovely lady down to a lower price, without of course offending her merchandise. 

I proudly walked out of the store with a dress that I paid $25.00 for (plus a little tip), and the best part is that it was in perfect condition. 

After finding this lovely dress I was inspired to conjure up a Vintage Style photo shoot. All pictures were shot by Nia Simone Aka Spunky

Location: Downtown Los Angeles in front of a Church  

I paired the dress with some gladiator style heels, Snazzy purple hair, and jewelry to keep it rocking. 

-I did my own makeup using mostly Mac products for my eyes, $2 eyelashes, & Mac Nicki 2 lipstick
