It’s only 10/13 but party invites are rolling in already. It’s super hard to come up with a great Halloween costume that will titillate and impress your clan of “judgy but well meaning because they really do love the spirit of Halloween” friends. To help us all think it through, here is a
quick list of ideas and cool costumes I’ve witnessed:
- Johnny Depp characters, esp Edward Sissorhands (you will be loved)
- Lloyd Dobbler (you will be laid)
- Claire Bennett, Heroes (cusp of slutbag cheerleader, but w/ more cred)
- Girl Nerd (always a winner)
- Star Wars Trumpet player Stacy Hedger (think thru how to project Star Wars theme, play actual trumpet?)
- Dick in a Box (totally stole this from our work gallery, hilarious)
- Wonder Woman (gas up the invisible jet for quick getaway from unwanted, admiring males)
- Amy Winehouse (hot mess beehive)
- Starman (cardboard star strapped over tightie whities, not reco’d for crowded EV bars)
- Serial Killer (strap Kelloggs all over your bloody body)
- Your BFF (ape the appearance and mannerisms of your best friend all night and drive them into a psychological frenzy)
- Pabst Blue Ribbon can (Grab the McCalls pattern for the soda can with the cardboard ring neck, change the logo)
- Chocolate Rain (extend Tay Zonday to 15:01 minutes)
- Master Chief (help Halo reach critical mass)

Skip the costume and finally have to nerve to own your inner guyliner. Rip off some random hipster’s day to day look from misshapes, like that guy pictured. See how he is making out with the Rosario Dawson lookalike. Note the fuzzy kitten head and rose shirt I had in 3rd grade - mine was cooler, had rhinestones for eyes.
