Costumes

Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping I always wanted to have a really kickass costume you know the kind that are like the best ever! I mean a really quality one not those cheap kind they sell at Halloween time that are made of nylon. And what's with these costume themes? I understand the traditional ones like the witch and the devil or even ones that are based off movies and tv shows like the Stewie (from Family Guy) and Jack Sparrow costumes. But some of them just put words like "Naughty", "Sexy", "Hot", "Punk", and "Goth" in front of costume names. Like the "Gothic Geisha", "Punk Skeleton", and "Naughty Newscaster". Ok, ok I made the last one up. But there could be a costume like that eventually. I've been thinking the best costume I can have is one I make myself. It will be more durable than one bought from the store and it will probably cost less too. I mean costumes today cost more than durable clothes you can wear than once a year. I don't know how many times I've heard people complaining about how their costume didn't look like the one on the package pimped out with all the optional accessories. But I'm not going to diss Halloween it's probably my fave holiday next to Christmas that is still #1 with me. I would write about how much I love Christmas but that is for another blog. I already have some ideas for next year's costume. But I won't tell what they are. In closing I think the best costumes are the ones that let you be yourself or be somebody else.

More thoughts on Halloween

Ok after writing my first Halloween blog I noticed that I forgot to mention some other things. Mooching kids/adults: Ok does that baby in the bunting dressed as a puppy really going to eat that Snickers bar? Because everybody knows the candy is for your baby. Please if you are coming back to my house for 2nds please have the decency to come back for more candy in a different costume. What are you supposed to be? I hate when that happens. You think your costume is so great as what you thought or hoped you looked like. That is so annoying. Last year WWE Raw made fun of this by having nobody know who Todd Grisham was supposed to be. I would really like to know what constitutes a Halloween song? Because some people are really confused. I mean is "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco a Halloween song? Please explain this to me. I fail to see how it is. "Dead Man's Party" and "Don't Fear the Reaper" are Halloween songs well to me. For the record I don't even listen to BOC, but I do know that song. ("More cowbell!") Don't forget "Ghost Town" by the Specials I just love that song. Those first few things are my dislikes/gripes with Halloween. Here are some of the things I like about it. The Candy: Ok it's not Halloween without the candy, and I love candy. Actually I love any holiday with candy floating around. Ok some holidays I like more than others. I like Halloween more than Valentines Day. Plus I like a lot of seasonal Halloween candy a lot of people don't like. I like mellocreams aka candy corn and those peanut butter kisses. Make up and dress: I'm not talking about costumes here well sort of. What I mean is that for Halloween or around Halloween time you can get away with wearing an outfit you wouldn't normally wear and I'm not talking about sexy clothes either. I mean you can get away with wearing wild make up and dark colored nail polish with out being made fun of. I prefer dark polish year round. Especially black, you can get away with black because it's "festive". You can also get away with wearing "tacky" clothes you never had the courage to wear on any other day and call it a "costume". Being Scared: You know this is a fun thing to do or have done to you. I know I like it. Wow. This part of the blog sounds a little perverted. You people and you dirty minds shame on you! I just mean I like to be scared and scare people.
