And here are the worst his and hers costumes for Halloween 2010. If you find yourself wearing either of these (”one-eyed monster” / Twix bar), congratulations, you are a terrible human being. At least subtle racism, misguided politics, and outright bigotry prove that you care, at least a little, about the holiday. Unlike the below two people of whom one has to ask, “Why even bother?”
Bravo for using the respectful “Native American” instead of “Indian”… I suppose.
Ah jolly old England, you make costume shopping much more fun. Especially with stuff like this.
So I’ve already come up with my costume for this October: Carl Fredrickson from Up
How to: Tweed suit. Bowtie.Chunky, square glasses. Attach garden hose end to small dollhouse and float that with six to eight helium balloons. Walker with tennis balls on the feet. Walk around and look grumpy.
Bonus Details: Sidekick Russell (could be your girlfriend?). Dog (lighted collar a must).
A month ago over at The Awl I wrote a piece about great Halloween costumes with hints:
Kuato
The Kuato costume can be done by anyone; but for those with an very young infant this has great potential.
Keys: Get a fake bare upper body/torso costume (like this one) or simply a skin-colored body leotard. Cut a hole in the chest area. Place your infant in his/her BabyBjorn/carrier, allowing only the baby’s head and arms to come out of the chest. Put a bald cap on the baby. Don a military surplus jacket. Make zombie face.
Bonus: Bad haircut. Smear the baby with Vaseline. Get your wife/baby mama/significant other to dress as the three-breasted prostitute (NSFW). Teach the baby to say, “Quuaaaaiiiddddd. Quuuaaaiiiiddddd.”
Well, imagine my surprise when I saw the costumes on the Halloween-themed Attack of the Show:
This year’s most bigoted, misogynistic, racist costumes. All available from legitimate retailers. Including Amazon.com.
