Halloween is my favorite "holiday," along with April Fool's day. For '04, '07, and '09, I went as Alex De Large from A Clockwork Orange, and recieved rave reviews every time... The exception being my son. He wants me to go as something different this year, so I was thinking of going as Zorro. Here are some pictures of me as Alex in '04: Here's a closeup of my eye: And here's a picture of me and Li'l Bandit in '09:
I'm doing Amy Winehouse this year. For Halloween circa 2001-2003 I rocked the Walk of Shame Girl complete with smeared makeup and hickeys all over my neck. I figure Amy isn't much of a stretch from that. Add a beehive and mole. Voila!
Last year I went as your friendly local pedophile, complete with Dora the Explorer backpack, a teddy bear, a roll of duct tape and a bottle of "Children's Roofies". While I was out at the bars, for anybody that asked what I was, I pulled a Tootsie Pop out of my pocket and asked if they'd like some candy. Unfortunately this year, I won't likely be doing anything as my daughter is due to be born October 20th, so I'll be be slightly preoccupied.
I'm planning to go as Chairman Kaga this year. Trying to convince the girlfriend to dress as Morimoto. Who cares if I'm not Asian? I can just walk around eating bell peppers and making pedo-smiles with frilly shirts.
Last year I went as House and My buddy as Dog the Bounty Hunter. Spoiler This year we are probably going to do Billy Mays and Vince (Shamwow) Offer.
Shortly after that picture was taken, a fight broke out and my friend, while trying to pick his buddy up off the ground, was sucker-punched and laid out cold by a dude in a Mr. Incredible costume. Then, the guy was just going to keep wailing on him, so I blasted him in the side of the face and laid a couple elbows into him for good measure. But I like the costume because it's warm and everyone (girls) like it.
If we are going with the dead celebrity from the year theme, what would be a good male costume as a counter to Amy Winehouse. I can't recall any surprising male deaths of this year. Guess there is still time....fingers crossed.
It seems like his death was so long ago, but maybe not. I was also going to object with the fact that he is black, but that really wasn't an issue anymore at the time of his death. Another option would be one of the other dead singers from the so called "27 club", Kurt Cobain maybe. That seems like a pretty easy costume actually.
I actually almost said Kurt Cobain, but he's just grungy. I figured MJ would be much more distinct looking.
I'm going as an NBA player. I have a tshirt from China, I'll put a sign around my neck that says "will dribble for food," wear oversized basketball shorts with adidas flip flops and socks, power band on my wrist and a sweat band around my head.
Boobs. It was awesome, we bounced in unison up and down Franklin Street. This was the first time I had a bar buy me shots - buttery nipples. I've also done "the internet". Print out various porn, tape it all over yourself. The internet is for porn. I've also had ... mixed success with blackface. Jesus - always a classic.
I dressed up as Kaga several years ago and nobody got it. I had an orange bell pepper and everything. People kept asking me if I was a gay vampire.
I trying to come up with a decent pedophile costume. I figure I'll wear a sweatervest with a name tag that reads "m/13/OH" while carrying around either a bag of candy or a teddy bear. I have a good pair of glasses from my old Bill Lumberg costume and can make my hair look like an ugly, stringy comb-over. Unfortunately if I want to grow an authentic perv 'stache I'll have to start now.
