Who Should You Be For Halloween?


Before I start, do this quiz to find out who you should dress up as for Halloween! Then look below it to see how I would put these costumes together!


Seriously, these costume ideas are pretty cool. Some, as seen with the quiz above, are more complex than others. Here are some ways I would make them work. Do some gender-bending, or just go straight for whoever you want.

Batman
A Batman mask is relatively cheap online, find yourself a cape and a utility belt and it's a quick make-shift Batman costume.

Dumbledore
Dumbledore; find an old flat cap and tat it up and dye grey. Wear some grey, tatted up bed sheets. You're Dumbledore.

Groot
Wear some sticks/twigs/leaves and you're instantly a talking tree. ONLY say "I am Groot" though. 

Miranda Sings
Wear a lot of 'lisstick' as Miranda would say, put on a horrid old jumper and a red tracksuit on. You're internet star, Miranda Sings.

Lumpy Space Princess
Paint some cotton balls purple, stick them on you and wear a crown and a sassy attitude. You're Lumpy Space Princess!

Katniss Everdeen
I would especially go for a tribute look from the first Hunger Games movie, very similar to the books. Brown jacket, trousers, boots. 

Squirrel Girl
I would perhaps recommend going for the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl costume (on the right), unless you have a brown, furry leotard and a bunch of actual squirrels floating around somewhere. Obviously, the tail is the difficult thing here. Other than that, a jacket, jeans, boots, ginger hair, belt, squirrel ears. You're Squirrel Girl. 

Twelfth Doctor
The Twelfth Doctor: Spray hair grey, boots, trousers, waistcoat, shirt, and a long blazer, stitch red lining if you can be bothered. Speak with a Scottish accent. Ta-dah! You're a time lord!

5 Basic Halloween Costumes


Halloween is round the corner, and it's time to decide what costumes we'll be wearing for parties, trick-or-treating (if you're still into that???) and generally trying to scare people. Last year for Halloween I went to a party as a dead version of Arthur (the Aardvark). It was surprisingly well received (no seriously, somebody told me I was brave for wearing a bright yellow jumper... I'm not sure if that's good or bad but I'll take it). 


So, I thought I'd recommend 5 easy Halloween costumes for any last-minuters. 

1. Madonna, Post-Fall

All you need is:
- 1 (or more if you're feeling brave) bruise(s) on your face
- 1 dodgy hip
- 1 walking stick
- 1 life threatening cape
- 1 microphone

2. The Guilty Tory 
All you need is:
- 1 fragile pig
- An obnoxious prime minister
- Pig ears
- 1 t-shirt with a sentence denying these 'outrageous' claims
- 1 pig tail
- 1 tonne of guilt
- 1 kg of 'I was just an ordinary student'

3. Marvel Has Spider-Man
All you need is:
- 1 Spider-Man suit/Spider-Man hoodie (basing on whichever version you go for)
- The rights to affiliate Spider-Man with Marvel
- Sony's web shooters

4. Water On Mars

All you need is:
- 1 mega morph suit (red/orange)
- 1 bottle of water
- 1 Mars bar
- The ability to breathe in the mega morph suit

5. The Cheeky Nando's

All you need is:
- 1 lad/bigoted racist
- 1 'iced gem' haircut (see here for reference)
- 1 Nando's voucher
- 1 'Lads on tour' t-shirt
- 1 tonne of banter
- 4 fellow lads full of banter and 8 sidechicks (each)


That's all for now. 

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
