Taking Halloween As Seriously As A Wedding

I love Halloween. I want to believe that everyone loves Halloween—like it’s a universal Tim Burton-style Christmas—and that we all come together, unified, for the sake of weirdness and costumes, zombies, vampires, princesses, and gore. I’m torn, though, on whether I love it enough to take Vogue‘s costume suggestions. For the haute couture undead look that’s all the rage, they suggest booking a professional stylist. The people of MAC, Sephora, Nars, or Henri Bendel will make you fabulous for a price. Some of these ghastly makeovers run over $200. I didn’t even spend that much for my wedding up-do! Silly and frivolous or the expensive style solution for the biggest dress-up day of the year? What’s a ghoul to do?

@equnsuocha: I’m glad I am not the only one who was terrified by that pic! That sh*t is wrong! If she paid $200 to scare people, I say she got her money’s worth! But no paying that much for Halloween is crazy, it’s not that serious!

Halloween is my favorite holiday. So I go all out. Which usually includes spending around $300-$500 on costumes and special effects makeup. I like to go for realism. It’s a lot of fun, especially if you have a fantastic Halloween Ball to attend. It’s not frivolous if you enjoy it and have the cash to spare. A costume contest prize under your arm at the end of the night doesn’t hurt either.

I think I’ll walk through Times Square on the way home…I think I’ll see some equally freaky people.

Honestly, I feel like dressing up on Halloween is like getting chocolates on Valentine’s day. Meh.

Amy winehouse is big costume this year, making it totally acceptable to slam a few cocktails and chain-smoke out of a crack pipe all while simultaneously handing out pixie-sticks to wide-eyed children.
