Yesterday I went to a Halloween party dressed normally and people asked me what I was and I said, "Myself. People choose costumes based on what they secretly want to be, and I want to be myself."
That's total BS though, I was just too lazy to change into my 5th Element costume.
I'm going as Jessica Rabbitt and my boyfriend is going as Eddie Valient. I'm going to freeze my ass off and only children of the 80's are going to understand. But whatevs.
I'm bummed by how unoriginal people have gotten with Halloween. Zero effort, zero creativity. And these people are rich so they could even PAY someone to come up with a good costume.
I'd rather be something weird and obscure that I had to explain than sweat all night and be uncomfortable and dumb looking in some $60 PVC costume out of a bag.
I bet Lydia Heart's PRESS! hat wasn't even part of a costume. She probably put it on when she wrote her column/spoke to the real journalist who then ghost-wrote her column. Because that's what real newspapers reporters wear and Freelance Journalists wear, right?
I'm dressed up like a giant, fully-functioning box of Franzia wine today (had the idea before it was posted on Jezebel!) and calling myself "Jane Winebox."
My boss wore a suit with blood all over it and a knife stuck in it, with a sign on his head that said "concept." He was a killed concept. Genius.
@ineffable.me: Yeah, I work at an ad agency. Our ideas get killed by account CONSTANTLY. The account people just kind of awkwardly laughed at the costume.
@SmritaPraeconinus: A woman I work with is dressed up as Joe the Plumber and it's pretty amazing. She even has a tool belt and a list of generic facts.
@nex0s: Yes! FAIL b/c of the black tights. They should be dark tan sparkly industrial strength nylon like Lynda Evans used to wear. Wonder Woman's thighs should shine.
Since when was 'scary' not the dress code for Halloween? You have the rest of the year to be sexy, people! Let's get the gore costumes out. Samara (from The Ring) being my personal favourite...
@trixie_talbot: I'm being a cat burglar this year. It's easy, comfy and not slutty. Also, people think it's hilarious (maybe also scary if I actually stole things?)
I think Lance Bass is sort of trying to be witty? I think his robe is supposed to be tied to High School Musical, so it's kind of like old teen sensation does new teen sensation.

Thank God the slutoween phase hadn't kicked in yet.

However, I might steal the Amelia Earhart idea for next year (the normal version, not the slutty one)

She looks better in red, I think.
