Final Countdown Idea of the Year: Arrested Development

In lieu of the long awaited final season of the most underrated television series of all time, Arrested Development is now more relevant than ever!



I can almost predict that no home-made costume will be more popular nor more well received and those lucky enough to recycle their old AD costumes can get away without spending a dime this year. Those looking to stay in luxe threads while partying all night can easily pull off a Lucile or Lindsey while gentlemen can stick to Michael or a very obscure personal favorite, Bob Loblaw.



However, no character is more recognizable than Tobias as a blue man or never nude and Buster comes in a close second with his hook hand. If you have a very willing friend, you can convince them to dress as Buster's archenemy, the seal.



If anyone owns a segway, it is almost mandatory to go as Gob this year since you will never find a better opportunity to look cool traveling on a segway while party hopping or trick or treating. Bringing along a few magic tricks and an ipod with The Final Countdown will also make this costume shine.



All in all, you can't miss with this costume this year because honestly, who is sick of hearing about this family and their hype? No one, that's who.

Who this costume is for:
  • Anyone who can never see a frozen banana the same way again
  • Those who consider The Final Countdown their theme song
  • Absolutely anyone who owns or has access to a segway
  • Cousins who are secretly (or not so) in love
  • Analrapists
  • The brave souls who are willing to wear nothing but jean cut offs
  • Basically anyone...

What you'll need:
  • About a gallon of blue paint
  • A bottomless martini
  • Preferably a seal
  • Knowledge of everyone's favorite dysfunctional family
  • Did I fail to mention a chicken dance? You need to know a chicken dance.
Rating: Easy

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...

Obligatory Wes Anderson Idea of the Year: The Grand Budapest Hotel

Every few years or so, Wes Anderson comes out with another quirky visual masterpiece that is instantly a hit with all our hippest friends. To their credit, our hippest friends have good taste! Anderson has a talent for making all his characters eccentric from the inside out which makes for an incredible range of diverse iconic personas to choose from. Personally, as a Halloween costume scrambler who is always looking for ideas, Wes Anderson movie years are the best years. The Grand Budapest Hotel is by far the most mustache-full flick of all. From the brooding villainous mustache of Adrian Brody to the the thin drawn on lip hair of Tony Revolori there is enough facial hair to fit everyone's style types. So I'll be looking forward to a very mustache-full hallow's eve. However, bonus points will be awarded to whomever can pull off a coveted "Boy with Apple" costume! Who this costume is for: Wes Anderson fans Especially those who have ex...

Best Thing About the Superbowl Idea of the Year: Left Shark

I don't want to seem like I'm obsessed with sharks or anything... but you guys should really see this shark. I have to admit, the Superbowl was quite grueling to watch as a Seattleite but the one highlight for me (and the rest of the internet) is Katy Perry's left dancer in the amazing shark suit (whom I am now in love with). Left Shark's dance moves may not be as on point as right shark but they have definitely stolen all the thunder from anything else that might have happened during sports ball. The left shark costume is the best excuse to dance as drunk and high as you like (most likely any day of the year). Alternatively, this can turn into a couples costume (or even a threesome Katy Perry sandwich). Who this costume is for: Anyone looking to mesh their keen interest in shark week with their significant other's Top 40 music taste Many of those who would like very much not to forget this Superbowl ever happened What you...
