Halloween is just around the corner-I hope all of you have planned your Monster Bash party for the weekend and better yet, have your costumes ready for Monday, Oct 31! Did I mention how glad I am that Halloween does not fall on Friday the 13th this year?
While most of you have probably been prepping your costumes since July 4th (go independence day! I love you Will Smith!), I still thought it would be helpful to throw some tips your way.
Here are some of my fave costume ideas for 2011. Remember that it is always the safest bet to include an over the top (OTT!) sexual inuendo-this tends to help people lower their inhibitions and have a way cool time.
-Pam Anderson (circa 1999)
-The Cable Guy
-Provocative Vampire (think Kristin Steward mixed with Buffy St. Marie)
-Naughty Girl Guide (bring some of your fave cookies to hand out as party pleasers)
-Sexy Nurse (mini pill bottles filled with E will be a total hit)
-The ghost of Tupac Shakur/Biggie Smalls (bring some mix tapes as favours)
-Macaroni Angel (attach rigatoni and spaghetti to a burlap sack, spray paint yourself metallic hues and photoshop a halo for yourself ad hoc)
-Christmas Tree-let your breasts be the ornaments! Dangle tinsel as seasonal pasties
If you choose to go trick or treating be sure to bring some of your best tricks along incase anyone asks you to perform! I know this is a totally vintage tradition, but I love the resurgence of Urban trends from days gone by. Here is a list of some of the tricks I have up my sleeve:
-singing a few lines of my fave Alicia Keys/Kelly Clarkson/Amanda Marshall song in perfect pitch
-Front handspring
-Origami Jack O Lantern (on the spot, with photocopied instructions incase I miss a step)
-toilet papering an entire urban block
-instead of egging the house I bring a tray of deviled eggs to offer to the home owner (see recipe below)
-put a plastic bug on your face and pretend not to notice it
-speak in acronyms (omg lol wtf, u dn't hav low phat candies?)
Deviled Eggs Recipe
1.Hardboil a baker's dozen eggs
2. Cut them in half to let them cool (leave the shells on)
3. Mix together in a separate bowl: sweet gherkins, relish, bread crumbs, and vanilla yogourt
4. Scoop the eggs out of the shells, discard
5. Fill shells with mixture and sprinkle with mashed ketchup chips, leaving some whole to protrude out as devilish horns
6. Enjoy!
Urban Women-promise to stay safe for Halloween. I have heard a few Urban legends about people sticking razor blades inside their Spooky Give-A-Ways and I believe everyword of it. Take your candy stash to an airport and run it through the metal detector before eating anything. Also be sure to use crosswalks wisely and if you are going to take a ride from a stranger make sure your human GPS microchip is switched to 'on'.
Be safe, sexy, and have fun!
Until next time,
Urban Woman
