This is one costume that everyone will know exactly who you are. Everyone's heard of Poison Ivy (nope, not the plant) but the sexy, redhead villain from the Batman comics.

Everyone has heard of the legendary Lara Croft, she kicks butt and looks amazing doing it. She has even been portrayed in movies by the amazing Angelina Jolie.

Lara's look is really simple and pretty easy to wear. Grab a black tank top, some army green shorts, knee-high combat boots, a gun holster, and some toy guns (such as airsoft), we don't want anyone getting hurt.
