I still remember going to see Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery back in 1997 when it came out. I was 13 years old and loved everything about the movie. The character that always stuck with me the most were the Fembots. I loved their effortless sexiness and confidence. Even 23 years later, the Fembot is still an iconic movie…
Friend costumes are so fun to do together. There are so many great duo’s out there and the possibilities are endless.

Her costume is also SO simple because there are only 3 components: the wig, dress and dagger. I was able to use this dress for 3 costumes this month (Elvira, Morticia and Maleficent) so it’s…
