You may think it's too early to think of your costume choices but, oh
how wrong you are. Halloween is a time where you can dress to the nines
as a character of your choice - these characters show off your
creativity and taste. Any number of Mighty Boosh characters are
appropriate here, mostly because of the cheapness the Boosh created them
with and the appreciation from Boosh fans. Let me say "Boosh" one more
time. Tee-hee. It's also a good time to brace cigarette holders between
your teeth, in a bright Hawaiian shirt, shouting about bat country. Go
wild kids.
Even though Halloween seems a very American celebration (and most people dress up as cheeky cats, nurse uniforms that don't pass regulations and the like) and no longer about scaring spirits, it doesn't mean you have to make a fool of yourself with an awkward showing of too much skin or have to egg or TP a house - Cool your boots. Lets have fun. I'll bring glow sticks, you're in charge of cups. I'm getting a little carried away...
[Clears throat and carries on]
I myself have been thinking of my costume for sometime, since the beginning of summer in fact, as Halloween my 2nd favourite day of the year (after my birthday and before the first day of summer).
There are many places you can get costume pieces from, including the often overlooked charity shops - good cause, good items. Though the good items can be a bit frustrating sometimes, as I wanted to find black lace gloves, and could only find white ones. That was a tense ten minutes. Though my attention to detail for my costume is becoming ever so slightly like that of a Parisian woman, just think of the amount of photographs - precision is everything.
Incase you think I'm being cheeky-rude, Parisians are known for their attention to detail - they wouldn't have chipped nail varnish, and are subtle with their detailing, not garish.
And hey, you can even get random items of clothing from shops down t' street, like the skeleton ribcage from Primark - if you can find the trousers, you're dandy.
List of potential characters
/ = awkward
Skeleton - Donnie Darko style
Mexican Day of the Dead
Rico the zombie
/ sexy Mexican Day of the Dead
Vyvyan Basterd
Twister Costume - For this costume to work, you need to love your fellow party-goers - no one wants "right foot, red" and to see your mate kicked in the balls.
The Mighty Boosh
Old Greg
The Hitcher
Spirit of Jazz
When gifted with a beard
The dude, with a White Russian and a roomy cardigan. "I like your style, dude". - Always a winner.
