Dragception Idea of the Year: Jo Calderone

By
Jo Calderone provides the best opportunity for “dragception” there has ever been in years. How many people can say they’re a man dressed as a woman dressed as a man? Or even a woman dressed as a man that's actually a woman? It’s enough to make your head spin.

So lovely.
Lady Gaga is such a iconic modern pop figure that she makes for a brilliant costume every year and every season. Her most talked about outfit (or stage act) this year is none other than Mr. Calderone. Rather than running into the blonde glitzy pop star clone army this halloween, be a pop star in disguise and shine in the niche shadows of those who are in the know about Jo Calderone.

Low key glamour is the way to go!

This costume is for the ambitious hair-gel owner this halloween. Not only does it require at least a pound of styling products but flair, personality, and little quirks are a must for the role to really come to life. If you're already looking for a Lady Gaga costume, then this is the one to strive for (although the meat dress is my second favorite option).

Another great reason to love Lady Gaga (unless you're PETA).
What you'll need:


  • Italian good looks
  • A 3lb bucket of hair-gel
  • A suit so skinny that Michael Jackson would proud to wear it
  • Cigarettes galore!
  • Never forget the plain white tee


    Who this costume is for:

    • The most ambitious of little monsters
    • New York Italian men who are looking for an easy costume
    • People who need to get rid of all their hair products

    Rating: Medium (could be more or less of a stretch for some people)

    Kawaii Ojiisan Idea of the Year: Sailor Suit Old Man

    By
    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...

    The Downward Spiral of Syfy Idea of the Year: Sharknado

    By
    The Syfy channel may be bordering on the lines of Sci-Fi these days with titles like Sharktopus and Dinocroc vs. Supergator (which are all perfectly adequate costumes by the way) but for some reason nothing can even come close to crossing the line between ridiculous and completely awesome quite like Sharknado .  For those who have never heard of this truly mind-blowing sensation here is the trailer to catch you up to speed: In terms of things taking the internet by storm, Sharknado was definitely one of my favorite things to witness blowing through our lives. The tweets surrounding it might have been just as enjoyable as watching Tara Reid escape this jaw-dropping epidemic or land sharks in tornado form. Which is why, in my deepest belief, a Sharknado costume would be more deserving of a high five than anything else we see come out of this year. Read those tornado costume tutorials online because this one is worth it! Who this costume is for: Fans of Sharktopus ...

    The State of Costumes in 2017

    By
    2016 was a rough year, to say the least, and the bar is lowered for this year because of it. So what is the point of costumes in today's political climate? How can we even pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows for one day out of the year? How can we want to show our bodies when sexual harassment is encouraged? These are tough things to face but they are very real and not going away. We don't live in a perfect world but we sure as hell can imagine it and that's the power costumes have. Through our clothes and appearance, we gain the power of the image. We can show the world what a black female president looks like or what a transgendered head of church would be like or how a republican who trusts science can run a government. Trust me, neither of them will look like what they try to sell you in those fucking plastic bags at the store. A lot of people might feel that dressing up as these roles might demean them in some way. However, none of these things are out of the...
