Halloweenies: 6 Costumes That Are Probably Better in Theory Than in Practice.

Is that male camel toe?

Tomorrow’s Halloween.  Yay.  What that means is that some of you overly ambitious (no Pharrell) big kids are going to don costumes that you have no business wearing.  Of course you get your standard slut-in-training outfits and the run of the mill “i’m too cool to wear a costume” costumes, but really, some people just take things a wee bit too far.

While most of us can appreciate the creativity, bullsh*t is bullsh*t.  I remember for an 80s themed costume party I went to one year, I was Eazy-E.  I had the fake chains, locs, jheri curl.  And for good measure, I carried around a bottle of spray on AZT.

Hell points to Panama for $2,000 please Alex.

Really I just felt like sharing since we all know that sharing is caring.  Why do birds suddenly appear every time that you’re near?  Because I gave them wings.  I am red bull.

Rar.

Since most of you people here are indeed very smart, I fear that some of your genius might get lost in translation.  Face it, just because an idea is smart doesn’t mean that even smart people will actually get it.

See Sheldon as The Doppler Effect on The Big Bang Theory

With that little tidbit in mind, I figured I might as well cut some of you off at the pass and give you a little primer on a few costume ideas that are probably better left on the cutting room floor of your mama’s basement.

Yeah, I said it. Your mama.

1) H1N1 Virus

While this might be the most popular topic on American’s mind, I’d totally kick H1N1′s ass 9 ways from Sunday if I saw it walking down my street.  Nevermind that I have absolutely no clue how one would actually BE the virus as a costume.  Maybe just a big ass cough.  Or just rustle up a gaggle of 6 year old sick kids and hover above them or something while pointing violently.  Me no know.  See, this is exactly why its only good in theory.

2)  Michelle Obama

This requires some mediocrity about the face so you upwardly mobile pretty chicks need not apply.  And yes, I just called Michelle Obama mediocre about the face.  Take that Glamour magazine.  Take that, take that.  Also, you can’t do tall and lanky if you aren’t tall and lanky. Come to think of it, the only chick who could be Michelle Obama convincingly is Olive Oil.  And she ain’t real.  See…theory.

3)  A Black Miss Hampton

Mostly because then you’d just be living a lie and nobody likes liars.  Liar liar pants on fire.  Plus, white chicks have totally laid claim to this one.  This is probably the dopest costume a white chick could rock.  Look out ladies, they’re coming for Black men next.  Oh…wait.

Womp womp.

4)  A Book

Mostly because if you go trick or treating in a Black neighborhood, most people won’t recognize you.  And when we don’t recognize sh*t in the hood, we shoot first.  And you do NOT want to get shot on some smarty art ninja stuff.  I repeat, you do NOT want to get shot.

5)  OJ Da Ju-man (or Juiceman, I’m still not sure how to properly spell this)

Think about it, while his mere persona is costumish and could possibly make for a fun look to see what you’re life would look like if you made all the wrong choices, imagine trying to say “buuuurrrrr” every 2.5 seconds and only speaking in sentences that end in “aye!”  I tried this earlier today and believe you me, my boss couldn’t have been more unhappy with me.  Hell, she banned me from using all words that even started with “a” because of it.  Lucky for her my performance review is coming up or I’d totally aardvark that ass.

6)  Any of the doctor’s from Grey’s Anatomy

Mostly because they STAY f*cking up folks at that hospital.  It’s always somebody dying at Seattle Grace.  Nobody would let you touch them.  And touch, being one of the five senses is kind of like the hokey pokey…that’s what it’s all about.  Makes no sense to me either.  I’m here every Friday.

So good karma chameleons of VSB, those are a few that came across my desk as good but bad ideas for costumes, what are some others that can help folks not look like ignoramuses(i) for Halloween?

And remember, don’t be a Halloweeny, whoop that trick.

Happy hunting.

A friend dressed up in a cops uniform for halloween a few years back. He had a pig mask and a box of donuts asking the po’lice if they wanted a donut. It was hilarious as I hear, until he went missing. The next morning as legend would have it, he resurfaced and he multiple knots on his head that rivaled Hasim Rahman’s hematoma courtesy of the Chicago Police department. If you are not familiar with Rahman’s hematoma…please google…its a b!tch.

I also saw a brotha wearing a toga and some sandals. Now I stopped short of invoking Riley and callin it how I saw it (Ni99@ u g@y!!) only cos this dude had stretch marks that would make octomom jealous. Please…keep…that…sh!t…hidden.

Lastly, a friend of mine a couple years back dressed in drag “for halloween”. His girl was with him and she had a harness with a strap on. They were apparently dressing up as each other. I would be able to handle it better now as I have matured…no that’s a lie. Some sh!t is better left unsaid/unbroadcasted/un-muthaeffn-implied.

My colleague and his friends are going as “Scare-aoke” like karaoke. He’s going as a cassette tape, one friend is the mic, and the other is the karaoke machine. It’s sounds cool, but I don’t know if he’s going to be able to pull it off. I hope he takes pictures….

Today, my firm is having a casual day in honor of Halloween, and they are having a costume contest. Can you imagine a bunch of lawyers coming to work in costume. I can already imagine someone coming as the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. smh… it should be a very interesting day.

Speaking 80′s parties, I just attended one this past weekend. Here is a picture of my costume. I was funky fresh …

I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea but since I let the beard grow out a little I was planning to go as Malcolm X. I’m really just being lazy. Plus I wouldn’t mind adding another suit to my wardrobe, thus giving me a grand total of 2 suits.

I really want to go as Snarf from the Thundercats but can’t find the darn costume anywhere.

But yea. Costumes I better not see:

*A Tampon: Because 2520′s in Ann Arbor would do some ish like that.

*Obama: last year was bad enough with all those light skinned black men that hang with the 2520′s donning a suit claiming to be him (I swear I saw like 5 of them in one club), so I definitely don’t want to see a repeat, especially from a 2520. Blackface is not cool.

*The Mac Guy from the Commercial: Because I will not hesitate to walk up to you and call you an idiot.

1. Mention some of the contents of this post regarding the person of the wife of…….whom they consider to be their most illustrious daughter with legend status. Why? There will be no consideration for any amendments to the law regarding freedom of speech. These and any other associated rights have been suspended for the duration of the reign of a certain first family. N.B Enforcement is and will be by public acclamation.
2. Dress up in any costume, Halloween or otherwise. Please. You do not want to know what happens to Juju* men who brandish their wares in public. I agree now that Most of Americans ‘strangeness’ has spread over the border but the understanding of it is still limited to basics like Wrestling federations, Presidential ambition and the fact that Commando became a governor .
*for our kin whose experience with Africa is limited to CNN. Juju is Muti; Witchcraft.

Finally, just to look like a fool who has yet to discover Google. Wothefock is the hullabaloo about. I thought this thing was for children. Real children!

5) OJ Da Ju-man (or Juiceman, I’m still not sure how to properly spell this)

Me and my homie were really planning on goin as Gucci and OJ for Halloween. He looks JUST like Gucci Mane, while I am light skinned and well versed in ignorance. I even had the overly colorful coogi shirt, too big for my face versace shades, and enough fake ice to make Rick Ross jealous. (Some of those things may or may not of been part of my 03-04 wardrobe)

@TPeezy, I don’t check for either of them cats, but from all of the talk about them both, am I to assume these two are literally the most over-the-top ignorant rappers in the entire pushing-40-year history of Hip-Hop? Worse than anyone from any year previous I could possibly name?

Reply

91 TPeezy October 30, 2009 at 11:13 am

@Stuff Ghetto People Like,

I would say that their level of ignorance matches but does not exceed any other southern trap rapper you can think of.

However, what sets them apart is that they have mastered personal branding (Aye, Its Gucci, Burrrr) to a level that would have most ad copywriters jealous. Think of Gucci as the Aflac duck of hip-hop.

Plus their sh*t knocks….

92 Panama Jackson October 30, 2009 at 11:27 am

@Stuff Ghetto People Like, yeah, they’re no worse than anybody else really. tpeezy is right though…they are SO hard, well mostly Gucci, on their brand game that freakin Gucci is getting a-list features and stuff. hell, he’s showing up on songs with real rappers like jadakiss. lol.

dude is about his business something serious. and to boot, the music ain’t half bad. dude has a good ear for the right beats.

truth be told, he’s no worse a rapper than Guru. we just all knew Guru could read and we’re not so sure about Gucci.

scream on ‘em.

I was planning on donning a wig and a hooker-short skirt and pushing my t*ts to under my chin and go to a Halloween party as Kim from the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

However, the Mint Condition concert killed that thought. I will be sent “Swangin” with “Someone to Love” all while he is looking into my “Pretty Brown Eyes” tomorrow instead.

Oh…and for my costume DON’T –
Do NOT try to dress as Cat Woman and wear a catsuit if your @ss is three jelly donuts past “used to be coke bottle shaped.” It ain’t sexy.

WTF-evah! They came here and didn’t even do Pretty Brown Eyes. Then they did some techo-remix sounding version of their other hits. I was CRUSHED, do you hear me? I’m glad someone got all the proper releases signed before they went back on tour, but as far as I’m concerned, they still owe me $59 plus convenience fees and parking.

(Was still a hell of a show, though.)

@Panama Jackson,

Yeah. Stokely is the only one I know as well. Maybe the gap makes him unforgettable? IDK.

@Nikiloveli,

See, you gone make me burn The Fox Theatre down if they are tripping. However, I’m expecting the overall show to be dashit and sht. Eric Benet and Ledisi are performing as well.

And with that, I do believe that I have put in enough time on the plantation this week.

“I remember for an 80s themed costume party I went to one year, I was Eazy-E. I had the fake chains, locs, jheri curl. And for good measure, I carried around a bottle of spray on AZT.”

Was it recently? Because I kinda wish someone screamed out, “TOO SOON!” when you walked in.

“4) A Book

Mostly because if you go trick or treating in a Black neighborhood, most people won’t recognize you. ”

Especially not Kanye West.

Other terrible Halloween Ideas (and by “terrible”, I mean, “I wish I had a camera so I can capture the footage of you trick-or-treating and upload it on YouTube so folks can clown you”):

1. Bruno…while walking down the streets in Compton. I went to a costume shop recently and saw a Bruno costume (the see-through plastic suit one) and thought it would be hilarious if someone rocked this in the hood.
2. Helen Keller.
3. Oprah (w/ an inflatable/deflatable belly) If she see you…you’re done. She got people. More than H&R Block.
4. Healthcare Reform Bill; on on that same note…
5. Teabagger
6. Taylor Swift with a Guy attached to her wearing a Swastika Shirt (ya’ll heard about this, right?)
7. Hand Sanitizer.

dressing as dr. manhattan from the watchmen (completely nude, but painted blue) is probably simultaneously the best and worst costume idea a person could have, and is only matched in boldness and lewdness by the “flasher” costume one of my teammates rocked my freshmen year of college (completely nude, except for a trench coat and a condom on your wang)

i saw a kid dressed like a piece of fried chicken last year, and, if i still actually did halloween, this would definitely be the costume i’d choose

The only 5 requirements for a ninja to holiday/celebrate ANYTHING including the rape and murder of their own famalies.

1.) Something for “Free.” (in words and deed)
2.) Off from work.
3.) Alcohol or Cook-outs.
4.) A white man said it was so.
5.) ignorance. (little or nothing known about the holiday)

Happy Halloween!

well, ok. i can’t speak for everyone here but…no one in my immediate family was raped or killed on halloween. for me, halloween really is just a fun concept–and i have an excuse to gorge myself on candy w/o appearing to be crack-ish. I DON’T CARE about any underlying meanings or any other kooky crap that happens on this day because that’s not my purpose for the day. in short, you forcing your concept of reality into my funtime reading is destruction and there is absolutely no building. thanks anyway.

@cam1ll3, I think you’ve gotten Halloween confused with The 4th of July or Independence Day if you will or was that Columbus Day…. ; } Or maybe Thanksgiving, I forget. I forced my reality on you? I suggested you build your own instead of simply accepting the one built for you without cause. I smile when you make my points for me. Thanks for thinking. That’s all I really wanted. : ]

I didn’t even realize tomorrow is halloween. So…I’ve decided to wear non color matched thermal underwear with a nice scarf and I will go listen to rock and roll in little 5 points. Maybe a trucker hat and some church shoes to make the outfit pop. A michael jackson glove to accent. My moose knuckle will be on full display…for some lovely lady to fall in love with.

They of course won the costume contest for couples
