warning this entry is evil so if you're gonna send me hate messages stop reading now:
are you still reading?
this entry only serves to illustrate what a sickfuck sense of humor i have.
last night, while out for drinks amongst friends, the topic of halloween came up (as it always does prior to october 31). "what are you going to be?" was the question in the air. i postulated on my theory that boys and girls take very different tacks towards halloween. girls want to look good, while looking not at all like themselves. for females, halloween is like fantasy night, a time to stuff your bra, wear a wig, and look sexy. boys are the exact opposite; they don't want to look handsome on halloween (aside from a few metrosexuals who would rather die than be ugly for a night). but boys will cover their face in a latex mask (thereby making drinking difficult, which i pointed out to one possible deathmask wearer); or blood; or goop; or fucked up makeup. boys don't think about having a "good-looking" costume when they decide what to be. when i pointed this out, i was met with the question: "well, what would be a handsome costume for a guy?" my feeble answer? "something rock inspired?" (oddly in my head i was thinking elvis, but that is in no way hot). ok, so here comes the evil...
so then it was decided that boys like zombie costumes. zombies fulfill all boy costume requirements: weird makeup and scariness. but here's the catch, you take someone that has either recently or famously died and then be them as a zombie. it's completely in the poorest taste and horrible, but coming up with the zombies is incredibly entertaining. some examples:
rerun zombie (hey HEY hey!)
elliot smith zombie (with bad skin - sorry fans)
jfk jr. zombie (i'm sorry to say i came up with this one. however i did not come up with the idea to have him be wet.)
robert palmer zombie (complete with grieving widow backup girls - veils a must!)
seriously, i could spend all day coming up with zombie costumes and i know that makes me a bad person. i left out some of our best ideas in the examples b/c i'm pretty sure there are going to be a couple fantastic zombies walking around.
halloween rules.
