The roommate and I have been pondering over Halloween ideas for this year. It's on a stupid day of the week (Thursday), her family is in town visiting for a week and I'm going out of town the weekend after to Montreal. So, for a while we thought our options were limited. We've just discovered that, not only are there a few decent options for the weekend prior to Halloween, we're probably (still need to buy tickets) going on a GHOST WALK around the Tdot. We found a Groupon for Tour Guys a company I've been known to promote and love in a previous life as a Hostel front desker, and I'm pretty excited, especially with a promise of "No gimmicks, no capes and lanterns, no b.s." and a tour name of "I ain't afraid of no ghost!"
On to the important stuff about Halloween, costumes! My roommate has been collecting bits for what we all think is a hilarious and awesome costume, a killer bee. Not just a bee costume, but a bee with weapons like knives, bullet belts, throwing stars and guns. Yep. Pretty awesome. For a little while I thought about doing Lady Gaga in the new Applause video, specifically the colour blur/explosion thing she has going on, but I wasn't sure how I was going to dress up the rest of me. After some perusing on the internet I saw this, amongst the other piles of sexy costumes.
I'm not crediting this image since the store sucks ass. Look back through some of my posts to work out which one, if you're that desperately in need of knowing.
At first I thought "meh, standard sexy Red Riding Hood," but it then reminded me of a shirt from Threadless that I own, and the ideas started to form.
"Red" by Anton Chigurh, which can be found on Threadless.
I need to have a wander over to some of the fabric stores and do some swatch shopping for the wolf. He's probably going to be a pain to make, but I've got the other two thirds of what I'd want this costume to be, so there's hope yet.
We shall see....
As a semi-related note, here's "Little Blue Riding Hood"by Grant Stephen Shepley, also on Threadless. You're welcome.
