Girly Halloween
In this video I talk about my problems with finding a Halloween costume I like. Halloween for many girls is an opportunity to strip down. What do you do if you’re not a “mostly naked in public” kind of girl?
It’s not that I’m insecure about my body–I love my body and think it’s pretty fantastic. It’s just that I really, really, really don’t like feeling that exposed in public. And when your costume options at the Halloween shop are sexy fairy, sexy cop, sexy robber, Princess Leia in the gold bikini, or nun, that leaves me feeling like I don’t have many costume ideas that will make me comfortable or able to have fun. (It feels really wrong to be in a bar in a nun costume)
But this year, I had the perfect idea. The Cvillain organized a Zombie Pub Crawl, and I realized that a) anyone can be a zombie–a nerd, a ghostbuster, a ballerina, a golfer, and b) no one really wants to see mass quantities of zombie flesh. Voila! the perfect solution. Luckily my best friend has a large reserve of zombie costumes from a show she directed in college, and she Fed Exed me a 30s-era cheerleader costume, already zombified. All I had to do was makeup and hair, and then help everyone else zombie themselves up too. I think we turned out pretty horrifying.
What do you think? Leave your thoughts, a photo of your halloween costume, or your plans for the zombie apocalypse in the comments.
