For the love of dressing up

There must be something in the air these days because wherever I go, people keep talking about costumes and Halloween parties. Oh, October. Like I have nothing else to worry about. With midterms approaching by the end of the month and big Sundaze and Soul Nation gigs happen to be in the same week, I know a bunch of panic attacks will be waiting for me.

So yeah, I don't think I'm ready for Halloween. If I wanted to avoid it this year, I'd better hide in some mountain resort in a small town somewhere in West Java or something. Not that I intend to do so, because dressing up is awesome. And I happen to like meeting people, checking out what they wear, and drink my weight in sugary cocktails.

That, if I find out what costume I wanna wear, which I HAVEN'T.

I felt convinced that I wanted to dress as Tila Tequila this year. Too many people have told me I look like her, minus the fake melon boobs. I think it's gonna be fun. All I need are blond wig, either lingeries or mini tanks with booty shorts completed with knee high or ankle boots. Think slut. Little did I know it's easy to say but hard to do. As much as I'm open about dressing sexy, I couldn't dress THAT sexy. I would feel too self conscious and uncomfortable. I stood in front of the mirror yesterday wearing something overly mini, black and tight with stockings, garter belt and boots like she usually wears and I felt tacky. I can't believe I don't need my parents to tell me something like that, they really raise me well after all.

Not putting these on, not in public anyway ;)

So anyhoo, I have no idea what to wear now. Suggestions?

Pointers : from my previous Halloweens, I have dressed as Princess Leia, nurse, fire woman, Cat Woman, Mystique, sexy geek, pirate chick and several more I barely remember now. I don't wanna wear similar costumes and I'm not interested to cliche ones anymore. Doctor? Librarian? Devil ? Angel? Wonder Woman? No, thank you.

What costumes will you be wearing this year?

    Oh you could so pull it off! I'm horrible of thinking of Halloween costumes... I was thinking of being Frida or a Ghoul gone Wild with a few of my friends... I am all about going for the scary look...

    My friend is dressing up as Lady Gaga. Now that IS scary!

    Anne fucking Boleyn. Or you could be a red indian. They have some cute outfits! Do I totally suck at this or do I just suck? Whatev.

    (My cousin and his friends dressed as mummies, zombies and other ghosts last year and went around town spooking people on the streets and in trains. It. Was. Freaky.)

    How about a vampire? You like so many vampire shows, you could pull off a sexy vampie :P

  1. Mrs.Zeus said...:

    I agree with MKL! Vampire is such a great idea. Last year was my very 1st time on celebrating Halloween, I dressed up as a zombie bride/Chuckie's bride and Husby was a vampire. I think I posted a pic last year and I also put it up on FB.

    Good luck on finding the perfect one!

    You would definitely make a kick ass vampire. Or a vampire victim, which might be more fitting judging by your hot vampire loves.

    I'm going as a train conductor since I'll be leading my 25th birthday-Halloween train pub crawl! Woot! I love Halloween.

    Girl you look sooooo hot. Halloween is an excuse to look slutty so go for it. I'm being Lady Gaga this year but I hope my wig comes in, in time. =S

  1. ko0ty said...:

    Wait, is that you or actually Tila? lol

  1. injen said...:

    You can totally pull of Tila! I've never seen someone dressed up as her before, so great idea. I had to come look at the pic that Katy thought was you. =P Which it does confirm that you can indeed pull off the look. Minus the boobs.

  1. Manju said...:

    hmm what about a Lolita? it'll be so cool coz you'd totally look gorgeous, and it goes with your blog name as well

  1. ScoMan said...:

    I'm getting jealous about these posts with people planning their Halloween stuff. We don't celebrate it here.

    We're to awesome for Halloween (or that's what I keep telling myself)

  1. Caro said...:

    I was a toilet bowl on year, I made lots of people laugh.

  1. Wonderful said...:

    Oh that's hard, I am always apathetic about dressing up for halloween because it's usually cold here, so I don't have any good suggestions but if you went the tila tequila route, i'm sure you can come up with something halfway decent.

  1. Lion-ess said...:

    do u have pics of u as Mystique?

  1. Sebastian said...:

    Just go with Tila...

    You know it's a perfect match, and deliciously contemporary.

  1. *~Dani~* said...:

    I am jumping on the vampire train. You would make an incredibly sexy vampire!

  1. RB said...:

    How exactly did you dress up as Mystique? Quite interesting ma'am, lol.

  1. Hm, we don't really dress up here.. I wish we did though, it's so much fun!!!

    What about going as Pippi Longstocking? That's pretty fun, and a classic! Maybe to much of a cliche for you? I think that would be cool, stongest girl in the world :)

    Or a flapper! So easy, flapper dresses are so much fun to wear, especially when you dance and just get a headband with feather!

    Let us know what you end up in! :)

  1. amindinmotown said...:

    Hm, I'd say Little Red Riding Hood (which I was a few years ago), but that might border cliche.

    Darlin', whatever you do, it'll look good, ha. That's my way of saying I have no suggestions. Sorry. =(

  1. i somewhat love her hair in that photo.

    from my nerdy experiences, some friends pulled off a couple of awesome (funny only because I'm nerdy like that) costumes:

    1. ECG on tracing paper and they walked together all 5 of them the whole night. (so that the heart rhythm wont break - so they said)

    2. microorganisms. hilarious!!!

    how about tinkerbell? or french maid (lol i love french maid costume)? or belle from beauty and the beast with a twist? :P
