An Introduction to the Preemptive Formation of Your Costume Strategy

If you're anything like me, you'll scramble around the day of Halloween searching for your new disguise in pure desperation. Not quite desperate enough to dish out $60 for a tiny piece of cloth that might cover your mid-section (if only that) but desperate enough to check every thrift store in town for any shining gem of an idea that you very much need.

No, this blog isn't for the well prepared and yet it isn't for the lazy folks but for everyone in-between who are looking for that shining gem. Think of this as a way to form a well thought out game plan for that drunkest of drunk nights without running the risk of bumping into another person dressed up as the same sexy disney princess or mindless zombie. This is a blog to get your creative juices flowing while staying timely and relevant and feel free to add the adjectives "sexy" or "zombie" to any of the ideas you might find on this blog.

I'd like to think that people dress up in costume for all sorts of occasion over the year but really this blog only has a valid use once a year. So therefore, unless there's some sort of Zombie-fest or comic convention, I will work all year to make you Cinderella for one night just as long as you feel free to share your drunken costume pictures with me the next day, week, or month.

Kawaii Ojiisan Idea of the Year: Sailor Suit Old Man

Can we start off the 2013 Halloween season with this guy? I think we should start off 2013 with this guy. Meet "Sailor Suit Old Man," aka Hideaki Kobayashi aka GrowHair, a cosplay photographer who is famous in Japan (and all over the internet) for dressing up as a school girl every day and rocking it. What do we really know about this guy though? Is he a rock star? I wish. Is he a weird old guy who just happened to be a Tokyo notable? Definitely. Kobayashi is a cosplay photographer who just happens to want to dress like a school girl all the time and lives the dream doing so. Nobody gets the least bit famous simply by being themselves so today I'd like to raise a glass (and this costume tribute) to this guy for being famous for being every bit of himself. If we learn anything from this guy, it's that school girls will flock to you if you have the confidence to put on a cute skirt. Who this costume is for: Anyone who dreams of cross-dressing  Ev...

Hacktivist Idea of the Year: Anonymous

Anonymous, an online civil activist group, has picked up the slack with our favorite borderline albino, Julian Assange (WikiLeaks), dancing away into oblivion. The world just can’t seem to catch a break. Financial troubles, natural disasters, and famine haven’t discriminated amongst the global population. This costume is perfect for anyone who’s discontent with the status quo, but has reservations about committing to a cause they know little about. No introduction needed. The best part of dressing as Anonymous is the ability to bring relevance to costumes/clothes from your earlier years. Hopped on the V for Vendetta bandwagon? Aspired to be Green Man from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Looking for an occasion to wear an ill-fitting suit that was bought from you before puberty struck? Anonymous with a 4chan flair Don't be the voice of a silent generation but rather a loud voice in a faceless generation. S...

Real Life Zombie Idea of the Year: Luis Suárez

This year may have presented many new and exciting dangers that we can potentially die from. Drone strikes are forever ruining the idea of blue skies all the while, Ebola sleeps in our wake. Despite the introduction of these new terrible world dangers, 2014 is still one of my favorite years largely because it hosted the World Cup and boy do I love the World Cup. Large sports events are going to boast many heroes and titans but, by far, my favorite figure is the one painted as a villain. Meet Luis Suárez from Uruguay who is most famous for chomping on his opponents in all sorts of zombie fashion. Having suffered his third warning for biting his opponents, Suárez was forced into suspension to think about his flesh eating ways but his antics will always live on in glory as our favorite real life zombie costume. Who this costume is for: Football fans around the world  Those who think the impending zombie apocalypse may have already started in B...
