Triple Bypass Idea of the Year: Honey Boo Boo

I think it's safe to say that child beauty pageants as well as child obesity are both commonly considered odd, cruel, and very modern American forms of child abuse. However the combination of those two things feels so right when Honey Boo Boo is involved!



There are many beauty queens on television and probably even more child beauty queens at that. However, none of them are as famous or as big and brassy as Honey Boo Boo. But what I love most about Honey Boo Boo, especially for a costume, is that she always has a specific look to her. You can't think of a little girl in that frilly mess of a pink dress without thinking of none other than Honey Boo Boo and, as her mother has demonstrated, the look works just as well for adults!



She's become so iconic that even the thought of child obesity or child beauty queens will just bring her image up in my head. The look is overall so powerful that I don't doubt that the image of this costume will stick with people even during their drunken hangover on November 1st. This is especially true if anyone wanted to attempt to recreate her mother's look for Halloween.



I don't doubt that many men can pull off being Honey Boo Boo for Halloween, but for the most part this costume will work best for women of all sizes. I also think it would be a great costume for pregnant women who are really looking to shine!

Who this costume is for:
  • Ironic hipsters
  • Mother and daughter pairs
  • Fans of television drama
  • Ironic child obesity fighters

What you'll need:
  • Your weight in make-up
  • ... and then some extra weight on your body
  • The gaudiest and shiniest frilly pink dress you can find
  • A tiara

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...
