Coolest Homemade Beetlejuice Miss Argentina Costume

I love Beetlejuice and have always wanted to do a costume, but I never felt like I related to Lydia… I relate more so to the mom, however – nobody would know who she is without having a Beetlejuice character. And I’ve always loved Miss Argentina and her attitude so I decided to create a homemade Beetlejuice Miss Argentina costume.

I help Evil Fire Lizard at conventions sell special effects makeup. Bought the color from them (and it was the perfect coloring as well) and they helped me create slit wrists as well. My friend Candy helped me make the dress (consignment shop, we altered it to fit me), and the cape (Fairy Wings we modified and fabric).

The wig was a beehive wig I saw at the store, bought some extensions in the wig store and hot glued them to the beehive so I would have the curls she had. The sash I bought online.

My homemade Beetlejuice Miss Argentina costume was a huge hit at the convention… and at the end – my friend Laura (who helped me apply the makeup) – surprised me by dressing up as a female Beetlejuice at the booth :D (Photo is attached). She made the costume from scratch as well.
