MOM! I'm scared!!!!!!

Remember that I am your grandma video? Also, remember that terrifyingly realistic baby mask from it? How could you forget?! Well, now you can buy them. But please don't. We don't need anyone running around with these. If this becomes the new horse mask, I think I'm going to shit my pants. Thank god it's $350. That should deter a lot of potential purchasers, right? God I hope so.

15 Days to Halloween: HIGH FASHION GOES HALLOWEEN

Last year I did a Costume idea countdown and I think I'll do one again this year. (I'm starting it 15 days late but that's okay.)

1. ZORRO or a BDSM Missionary from 1850s Mexico.

inspired by HUBBA HUBBA Hermes Spring 2011

2. A Greek aka the CORRECT way to make use of pillow cases and bed sheets when imitating a Toga

inspired by Elie Saab Spring 2011

3. Flapper. Let me say that this is a very popular costume and if you are going to do it, take it all the way a la this image. Important characteristics to maintain in your flapper costume: Implied nudity (it works because being a whoor is also a part of Halloween for the 14-30 crowd) because flappers were risque, stunning hair and stunning make up.

a la Louis Vuitton Spring 2011

4. Homeless or Little Red Riding Hood's whoor Grandmother. The bra/bustier is imperative if you are going for the whoor look.

inspired by Kenzo Spring 2011

5. Eve after she ate the apple and was ~evil~. This can actually be done with a clever use of panty hose, glue/sewing, and cloth flowers from Michael's.

inspired by ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Spring 2011 RIP I'll never forget you! :(

6. John Galliano. To get a John Galliano look you mix 1/2 Salvador Dali with 1/4 Prince and 1/4 The Dwarf Ringmaster at the Circus. Mix in a shaker then serve over ice. Garnish with confetti you carry in a jug around your waist.

Inspired by John Galliano?

Best Comic-Con costume ever

Badass.

Halloween Countdown CONTINUES

1. Halloween for the UNINTERESTED:

Get into the spirit without actually getting into the spirit.

2. A BIRD.

I mean really, Alexander McQueen did it BEST. Cover yourself with feathers and be done!

And throw a birdCAGE on your head for good measures.

17 days til Halloween!

Since GHP has been putting up all these costume ideas, I thought I'd do my part by giving some input as well. One of the greatest resources IMO is Craftster.org. So, I scratched the surface a bit and found these DIY gems!

1) Where the Wild Things Are

This one would be great for group costuming

2) Pinata

No money? This costume is def for you. All you need is practically just tissue paper.

3) Brak

Forget Space Ghost. Team Brak!

4) Crack Fox, The Moon, Old Greg

And anything else you can think of from The Mighty Boosh

5) Bill, Tank, Zoey

This one's not from Craftster, but it's still pretty freakin awesome.

6) Mugatu

That's all for now folks! Good luck costuming!

I Lost Count

Costume Ideas for the past few days!

1. BUNCHIE

I'm not sure how exactly to pull this off. Maybe some pastel green posterboard with eyes? It'd be funny though. And PHALLIC.

2. SKELETON

Give this traditional costume I neat twist with:

Color


Face AND body paint


Spanish Culture!

3. A She-Wolf

I'll admit, this is mainly here because I love this song so much.

4. Bathroom Sign

Not so sure how to do this one either?
Clothes held stiff with skewers perhaps.
Or the almighty poster board.

2......Um......... Days

Okay 2 Costumes ideas for Today and Yesterday!

1. American Beauty

Materials Needed:
1. Tank top and leggings, or a body suit, or a one piece with tights that match your skin color.
2. Fake rose petals from Michael's. (Or maybe if you want to ZAZZ it up and it a little of your own flavor you can try other flower petals.....DIAMONDS if you're me because Diamonds Are Forever and I love BLING.)
3. Hot glue gun or stapler or needle and thread to sew petals to the clothes.

Cheap, easy, iconic and awesome.

And boys CAN do it too.

I've started watching Daria again recently and fell in love with the ending credits all over again.

Speaking of DARIA...
BONUS COSTUME IDEA:

The characters of Daria would also make fun costumes. If not for Halloween then DEFINITELY for that fun Cartoon Theme Party someone will be throwing soon......HINTTTTTT....CARTOON PARTIES ARE AWESOME....HINTTTTTT.

And <3 ~*~*~*~Lovey Dovey~*~*~*~ <3 couples can dress up as Daria and Trent or something. I love Trent. Idea 2: Hipster, Indie, Aborigines that are found deep in the American Apparel Forests of Los Angeles.

I love their stylist for this album cover. If I was going to be any kind of "wild man" I'd definitely get inspiration from this album cover. And I'll play Electric Feel from my pocket all night.

26 Days

Costume Idea of the Day: BOX WINE

NEED I SAY MORE?

27 Days

Costume Idea of the day: Alexander DeLarge and his Droogs

I have this recent fascination/obsession with Stanley Kubrick, BEGINNING with A Clockwork Orange because I think the movie is brilliant. These guys are iconic and it's a relatively simple costume. But more than anything check out A Clockwork Orange, it's really a good movie....and book I hear.

Materials Needed:
- Bowler Hats (black)
- Black Combat Boots
- White button up shirt
- White baggy pants
- White suspenders
- OFF-White nut protector diaper thing
- Depending on your droog, fake body parts and blood (Eg. Alex has fake eyeballs on the cuffs of his shirt). And false eyelashes
- Optional: White Venetian mask with a fallic nose as seen in the most controversial scene of the movie.

Items not Needed:
- Morals and boundaries

To take it a step further and get into character more you can study some NADSAT!

And I just had to mention this other Stanley Kubrick inspired costume idea. If anyone has seen Eyes Wide Shut you can go as if you're one of the participants of "THAT PARTY." The cloaked ones of course. It's like V for Vendetta/Phantom of the Opera but more risque and cryptic.

28 Days!

So in celebration of the upcoming holiday (aka: BEST HOLIDAY OF THE YEAR) I'm going to do a special countdown. And each day there will be a new Halloweener costume idea if you're feeling uninspired.

And because I've missed the first 2 countdown days....this post will have THREE costume ideas:

30 Days to Halloween: Madonna in her quintessential outfit.

How to: 1. Get a bra, corset or bathing suit top.
2. Get some cardstock paper or plastic sheets would work even better (you can get those at art stores).
3. Fold the sheets into cones...the pointier, the BETTER.
4. Attach the cones onto the top via staples or glue or velcro or something that bonds stuff together. Whatever resources you can get your hands on.
5. For some extra ZAZZ get some of those "Paris Hilton" cell phone jewels and bedazzle the crap out of your Madonna top. Or glitter. Or glue some sequins. Get a stencil and graffiti some patterns. Any kind of decorating will work.
6. Any kind of tight bottom will work. Materials such as Lame, nylon, spandex, or vinyl are preferable though.



This isn't actually Madonna but that cone top is FIERCE.

29 Days to Halloween: Richard Simmons

The thought of acting like Richard Simmons for a night appeals to me.
....I might be the only one BUT HEY...just saying.
If you're going to be running around all night might as well be comfortable, Y/Y?

28 Days to Halloween: Construction Worker

Construction workers don't have to be frumpy!
I mean, look at these construction workers WERQ IT.

The creepiest costume I've ever seen.

Today marks the start of HALLOWEEN POSTS ON WOTS!! And what better way to start it than with something scary. If I see anyone wearing this costume on Halloween I think I might cry. Who thought bringing Frank the bunny into real life was a good idea?
