Obsessed Dancer Idea of the Year: Black Swan

By
Never has the bleeding art of ballet been so scary and yet so glamourous than in Black Swan. This year has housed many a horror film, torture porn, and dance flick however nothing seems to stand out as much as this film. No one will recognize you as a character from Step Up 3D or even as the iconic roles from Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula  (yes this is real) as much as the infamous Black Swan.

oh hello fabulous

For those who don't know, Black Swan is a psychological tale of a young Natalie Portman's spiral into insanity over the lead role in Swan Lake. This self-inflicted mental obsession leads poor Natalie into such shenanigans as drugs, lesbian sex, fists fights with her mom, and eventually... knife fights with her pretend self. All the while she shows off that she is a really awesome dancer so all is forgiven.



This movie not only got a lot of buzz (mostly for the girl-on-girl sex scene) but it was also able to do what most movies can't, Black Swan managed to create an iconic look that will forever be embed in our minds. Whenever we see those swan wing eyes we will think of nothing but Natalie Portman's mental spiraling down through the depths of obsession and that's really what will make this costume shine.

Yin
...and sexy Yang
This costume may not be the most original idea this Halloween but it will surely be the most iconic. You definitely won't find this one on the rack so the real race is to be the best swan queen of them all (just a small task for everyone to obsess over). However Robert Downy Jr. may have beaten you in that race already...


Oh RJD, when are you not adorable?
What you'll need:

  • A professional makeup artist
  • A figure that looks like it couldn't bear to house any actual flesh on your bones
  • Feathers. Lots and lots of feathers galore!
  • Ballet gear
  • Mystifying obsessive tendencies
  • Schizophrenia can only add to this costume!

Who this costume is for:

  • Hot young lesbian couples (or just really really good friends)
  • Jim Carry (obviously)
  • Dancers who already own most of this costume
  • Good friends of professional makeup artists

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...

Hacktivist Idea of the Year: Anonymous

By
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

By
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...
