Lex Levels Up: Building a Post Apocalyptic Cosplay (Part 1)
Welcome to Lex Levels Up! In this brand-new series, our host, Alexa Cappiello dives into exciting challenges to learn new skills and build a cosplay for Wasteland Weekend, the post-apocalyptic festival where costumes are king and creativity reigns supreme.
In this episode, Lex shares what the show is all about and lays out the plan for creating the ultimate Wasteland costume. We’ll meet our expert costume designer Lauren St. Laurent, who’s going to guide the way and join Lex on a shopping trip to find all the unique materials that will bring the apocalyptic vision to life.
It’s the start of an exciting journey filled with inspiration, grit, and maybe a little chaos. Stay tuned for part two, where the real crafting begins!

In this 4 part series, two knuckleheads (Leif Gantvoort and Brett Sheridan) set out to build a War Rig for Wasteland Weekend (the post apocalyptic Mad Max themed event that takes place in the Mojave Desert). They have less than 3 weeks to build the car in South Dakota, get it back to California, and to the Wasteland car show.
