Making an offensive Halloween costume is a tried-and-true tradition. Dead celebrities are usually some of the most creative. Keep track of who's kicked the bucket lately. Last year, Steve Irwin carrying a plush stingray was my favorite in this category. A Elliott Smith a few years ago was also good. And if you can do a Chris Farley with a dozen needles down your arms, that'll last forever. What's this year's best? Robert Goulet. Try to capture the pallid skin color from the rare disease. You also need to hit all the nerds and fanatics of popular fiction where it hurts. Use spoilers! A few years ago, the most inspired? A zombie Dumbledore. Another great one was Wash from Firefly with a harpoon sticking through his chest. Or you can destroy the innocence of a character by dressing up as, say, a coked out Blue from Blue's Clues. There are also some that will always and forever work. Religion is always the best at this. A zombie Jesus is always tasteless. Make sure to make the nails and lance in your side realistic. Just don't try to make a political or moral statement with any of this, like by dressing as an ejaculating priest and wearing a nametag calling yourself "Hypocrisy." That just makes you an idiot. And for couples' costumes? I can't think of any famous twins that got wiped off the face of the Earth (in late 2001), can you? Labels: Longer Stuff |
