This is our Kate (left), as Stormer from “Jem and the Holograms,” with her sister Lizz (right), as Minnie Mouse. Kate says four whole people were able to identify her costume without context. They were all, of course, women circa age 30. Did you dress up for Halloween? Don’t forget to send your pics to tips@thefrisky.com—we’ll run a slideshow of some of our faves at the end of the day!
Waaah, I feel so left out! I took my little nieces trick-or-treating on Halloween and (thank heavens) slutty Halloween costumes haven't weaseled their way to preschool yet. It's like "sexy" Halloween costumes never even happened! So fill me in on the dirty details of Saturday night, my Frisky friends:
While I considered being Amelia Earhart or Max from “Where The Wild Things Are” for Halloween, once I found out my date was going as ShamWow pitchman, Vince Shlomi, my choice was clear. His costume would be even better if I went as the hooker Shlomi beat up (SlapChopped!) in Miami after she bit his tongue in a drug-fueled bender (they were both arrested). Politically incorrect, slutty, AND DIY!
I probably watched Jim Henson’s “Labyrinth”—starring a young Jennifer Connelly opposite the rawtha formidable one-and-only David Bowie, who played Jareth, the intimidating Goblin King—approximately 100 times when I was a kid and that’s no exaggeration. You better believe Bowie brought his signature sexy androgyny to the table and let’s just say it made a very young lady feel kinda funny inside. Is it weird to dress up as your childhood crush? Nah, but maybe it is a little kinky…
We were so focused on the crappy Cyrus parents who let their 9-year-old daughter out of the house dressed like a sexy witch in dominatrix boots, we forgot about scads of other crappy American parents who fret about their sons playing dress-up on Halloween. Oh, The Onion, you crack us up!
In case you recently woke up from a coma and haven't noticed the bags of candy, carved pumpkins, or costume talk, Halloween is tomorrow. For some, Oct. 31 is the best holiday of the whole year because they get to play dress-up as a grownup. Others hibernate at home in an attempt to avoid drunk vampires, slutty nurses, and possible serial killers. Will you be donning a costume for Halloween?
Sure, Serena van der Woodsen is supposed to be the talk of the town, but we’re more interested in Blair Waldorf’s prep-school style. This costume has all the naughty school girl appeal with a touch of Upper East Side class. An added bonus? Each piece is really cute and completely re-wearable! Get the deets, after the jump.
I want to hate this costume because it doesn’t represent the ‘90’s riot grrl scene at all (think: underground feminist punk like Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, Bratmobile). But I’d much rather have my little niece go as a botched riot grrl for Halloween than Noah Cyrus’ sexy witch with dominatrix boots get-up! [HalloweenCostumes4U]
Our photo service, Splash News, says this is a photo of Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes shopping for Halloween costumes. Since we don’t see any costumes in this pic, we’re wondering what little Suri is going to be for Halloween:
Behold 9-year-old Noah Cyrus! Far be it from us to slut-shame a fourth grader, but would it kill ol’ Billy Ray and Tish to insist she be a little girl for just a while longer? It’s not too hard to say, “No, you’re not dressing as a sexy witch with dominatrix boots for Halloween!” Because God knows after pole-dancing at the Teen Choice Awards, Miley‘s childhood is a lost cause.

Left your Halloween costume to the last minute? (Shame! And with all the daily inspiration we’ve been giving you!) Here’s a quick and easy solution from one of your favorite trendsetting stores—Topshop now has a small collection of cute masks and headbands, perfect for an understated Halloween accessory. There are sequin cat and devil masks, a black satin bunny-ear headband, and a pair of mesh cat ears with tufts of black fur and glittery gold lobes. Problem solved. [$8 each, Topshop.com]
If the universe were a fair place, the Balloon Boy caper would blow over by Halloween (har, har). But we all know we’re probably stuck with this kid for a while, so why not go trick-or-treating this October 31st dressed as the most famous 6-year-old on the planet, Falcon Heene? All it takes is a big flying saucer-shaped helium balloon and the twinkle of adventure in your eye!
The Green Halloween Bazaar features works by artists and designers to encourage less consumption. Not sure a vagina costume is what they had in mind, but judging from yesterday’s graphic necklace, it’s right on trend! Just tell the kids it’s a hairy taco? [CyanaTrendLand.com]
