Gossip Halloween Costumes Open Thread

Posted by Sarah Mirk on Mon, Oct 31, 2011 at 10:59 AM

Whatever, news. I want to talk about Halloween! What were the best costumes and worst costumes you saw this weekend?

What are you hoping little kids will dress up as tonight?

What did you dress up as?

Anything else hilarious?

My answers:
1) Best: A guy wearing a milk carton, "I am the one percent." Worst: I actually didn't see any bad ones at all. People were pretty creative! Though I stayed out of downtown, which probably helped.
2) Jawas! Why don't more kids dress up as Jawas? This is the ultimate kid Halloween costume.
3) Baberaham Lincoln. Did anyone else have a costume made entirely from the discount bin at Mr. Formal?
4) I went to a party at a co-op and someone was dressed as that mushroom guy—complete with trombone! This costume would probably not have made sense anywhere but the co-op.

there were a lot of people dressed in "dia de los muertos" make-up, which sparked a heated discussion on cultural appropriation versus solidarity

that's all I got

Oh please, the milk joke is so two weeks ago. Everything you can possibly think of has already been done on the internet and crossposted to Reddit and the Daily What. Just give up trying to be original.

The trombone-carrying mushroom guy is a pretty brilliant costume.

I was Patty Mayonnaise, and I was Baberaham Lincoln last year!

I enjoyed the three guys (one smoking) strolling down 28th dressed as teenage mutant ninja turtles, with green laundry baskets as shells. I figure they were headed to meet the rat and the fourth turtle at a nearby bar.
