Costume Update

Wow. I am impressed. At the 20 Watts Halloween party, I do not recall seeing anyone dressed super slutty! I was pretty drunk, but I think I would have noticed someone's ass hanging out. Maybe not though. Whatever. Here are a few costumes I particularly enjoyed.

1. Gene (Wet Hot American Summer)
2. Boy as Geisha
3. Captain and Tennille
4. Girl as Alex from A Clockwork Orange
5. 3 Blind Mice

So, my preferences are pretty clear by now. I like good movie and children's story characters and bending gender rules.

Ok so Chucks:

1. McLovin, Evan, Seth (Superbad)
2. Linda Richman (Mike Myers from Coffee Talk)

Those are the only ones I can remember right now.

Halloweekend Round-Up

Yee Haw. I'm going to have to jump on the bandwagon and make a quick post about Halloweekend.


Though many were quite convincing, the most surprisingly popular costumes included:
1. Amy Winehouse
2. Margot Tenenbaum (This or any other Wes Anderson creation.. how appropriate given the Oct. 26 release of The Darjeeling Limited in Syracuse)



Some of my Favorite Costumes Included:
1. Spandex Man (completely covered in a spandex contraption... someone had to be the one)
2. Sorority Girls ("I was wondering why sorority girls were here")
3. Homemade Fem-Bot
4. Marshall's Convincing "Transitioning"
5. iPod Commercial
6. Wig + Creepy Mask = Success

Thank god it's only October 29th. Put those thinking caps on, kids. We have until Wednesday (and beyond?) to really celebrate.

Are you being ironic?

Speaking of slutty Halloween costumes...



This happens to me every Halloween. I go to a party and I see a girl I have a pseudo-crush on. She is wearing a slutty cosutme, of course. Then I convince myself she is being ironic. She must be making a statement. Right?



Well, here's a hint. You're not.

I know it's difficult.

Listen guys (mostly girls), I know it's difficult to NOT dress slutty on Halloween. The options are endless. Slutty cat, slutty pirate, slutty cop, slutty manatee, slutty any noun imaginable. And every single Halloween store encourages sluttiness. When I was out shopping for a costume, I saw a 15-year-old girl getting a slutty Ms. Muffit costume. Actually, her dad was buying it for her. Wait, what? My dad would KILL ME. Even now! I just don't get it. So, I thought I'd list some costumes I saw that weren't slutty and were awesome.

1. Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction) POST-drug overdose.
2. Dwight Schrute (The Office)
3. Blood
4. Dora the Explorer
5. Ursula (The Little Mermaid)
6. 50s Housewife WITH A TIN OF REAL MUFFINS!!!
7. **Guy from Monty Python who hits his head with bricks
8. German Girl (NOT A BARMAID. She was wearing lederhosen. I always appreciate a good German)
9. Dog Show Mom.

I'm hoping to see more creative/funny/non-slutty costumes tomorrow at the 20 Watts party and also on Halloween. But I predict more boobs, ass, lace, spandex and headband animal ears in the near future.

**I'm not completely sure that's what this dude was going for but that's how I'm going to interpret his costume...because...amazing.

I like turtle pumpkins.
