costume? this is what I normally look like
October 6, 2009
I am seriously considering going as an Emo/Goth stereotype for Halloween. It would be a fun costume to put together. I’d get to wear all black (always slimming) and wouldn’t have to worry if my mascara started to run (it would just add to the look). Technically, I am a bit old for this sub-culture, but I think that just adds to the hilarity.
Then, I thought about taking it further and being an emo/goth zombie. There are many who might say “isn’t that the same thing?” but there are subtle differences. Like blood and rotting, festering wounds. It would be a tricky costume. Kinda like being Chewbacca who is dressing as Chewbacca for Halloween.
Then, I came across the idea of mixing genres. Like Zombie Snow White or Werewolf Dorthy Gale.
I always do this - stress out over a costume. I can’t half-ass Halloween. If I’m gonna do it, I wanna do it right. Last year was perfect, I was Shaun and my husband was Ed from Shaun of the Dead. Our costumes were spot-on except that I couldn’t find a cricket bat (very upset over that). This year, husband wants to be Peter Griffin from the cartoon Family Guy, but I don’t want to be Lois Griffin cause it would be such a boring costume.
I donno. I’ll think of something, I always do.
Maybe Vampire Princess Leia. Hmmmm . . .
Zombie Princess Leia. Definitely.
