Can a 7-Minute Workout Replace Your Long Workout? We Investigate.

It doesn't get more twisted than this!

Harley Quinn Costume

You can choose to buy or DIY this look, or do a little of both (which I recommend). Think about time versus money for each piece and then decide what’s best for you. I will say that the wig, shirt, choker, glove, tights, and holster were super clutch to purchase. I did some finessing to make them look even more authentic.

For the rest of the look, I got items that were close, and then made the pieces I couldn’t find, like the shorts, shoes and various accessories. You can get the full lowdown on how I made the Harley Quinn costume here. Either way, once you build the look (hair and makeup included), simply get into character. I found this oddly natural for me to do (it’s one of those costumes that takes you there, ya know?!).

Joker Costume

Believe it or not, all I had to purchase here was the maroon shirt, which I found at a thrift store. Zane owned the rest and your boo probably does too. This look is really about the makeup. You can get the full Joker tutorial here.

How to Be the Villainous Power Couple

Depending on your mood and the type of party you’re attending, you can bring along some fun accessories. The trick to this look truly is getting into character. Zane had way too much fun with this knife! Yikes.

The perfect amount of crazy, sexy, and weird all wrapped into one look!

Bring on those playful lovers’ quarrels throughout the evening!
