Halloween Costume FAIL: Woman Arrested For Stealing Sexy Cop Outfit

Erin FlahertyOctober 15, 2009 //

Sure, we all know thousands, maybe millions of women want to don slutty Halloween costumes come Oct. 31, but what you might not have considered is that all that pleather and latex and crappy lace ain’t cheap, no matter how crappy it looks. One South Carolina woman was so driven to the brink of insanity by the prospect of plunking down 50-plus bones for a sexy cop outfit that she simply stole it from an outlet store at her local mall. (Ah, the delicious irony.) Real cops promptly busted her, saying, “This woman is arrested for having bad taste!” OK, no, they didn’t really say that, pardon my embellishment. Guess she’ll have to settle for being a sexy jailbird this year. No problem, they do make those. I’ve seen ‘em. [The Sun] Keep reading »

The Halloween Inspiration Board: Anna Wintour

Lily QOctober 15, 2009 //

If you’ve ever wanted to be truly feared, we’ve got the costume for you. We’re not talking “scary” in the way that zombies or pre-Twilight vampires are. That’s child’s play. We’re talking grown women (and men) crying in closets in your wake. For that kind of terror, Vogue editor Anna Wintour is your only option. Keep reading »

Halloween No-No: Bad Tattoo Costumes

Susannah BreslinOctober 15, 2009 //

Marisa at Needles and Sins, who we interviewed yesterday, has a terrific post on the most horrid of Halloween costumes: bad tattoos. If this Lydia the Tattooed Lady getup doesn’t disturb you, perhaps this Tattooed Dog costume will. “[W]hat’s really bugging me here [isn't] that companies are making a buck mocking our art,” says Marisa. “What it comes down to is this: the tattoos in these costumes suck.” Check out more bad tattoo costumes at NeedlesandSins.com.

Which Dead Celeb Will You Contact At The Halloween Tweance?

Ami AngelowiczOctober 14, 2009 //

I don’t know what you’re doing on Oct. 30, but I will (skeptically) be attending the first-ever Twitter séance—yes, a Twéance—led by British psychic Jayne Wallace. Séances have been going on in dark rooms with creepy lighting since the mid-1800s, but apparently the spirit-channeling ceremony is ready for a 21st century makeover. That’s why Angels Fancy Dress, a London-based costume company, came up with the idea to do a séance via Twitter. Here’s how it’s going to go down. Tweeters will choose which of their favorite dead celebs to contact and will ask them a question. They’ll get an answer from beyond Tweeted back to them in real time through Jayne. Holy ghost! I’ve messed around with the Ouija Board before (someone was pushing it, right?), but this is on a whole new level. Now I just need to figure out whom to contact—after this summer, there are a lot of options. [The Sun] Keep reading »

What Not To Wear On Halloween If You’re A Guy

Susannah BreslinOctober 14, 2009 //

The Sexist has created another one of her hilarious roundups of the most horrifyingly awful, supposedly sexy Halloween costumes. This time, she takes on pseudo-sexy costumes for dudes, and they’re a real horror. (The worst of the “sexy” costumes for women is here.) While Sexy Pirate with a Big Sword and Sexy Cop in a Pair of Ridiculous Hotpants are strong contenders for the best of the worst, my favorite is the fireman you see here. He’s so much more than a fake tan male model with washboard abs in a bad fireman suit. He’s a guy with a rubber hose in his pants who wants to put out the fire in your burning loins. No problem doing that, dork. [The Sexist] Keep reading »

The Halloween Inspiration Board: Amelia Earhart

Amelia McDonell-ParryOctober 14, 2009 //

Amelias are hot s**t right now. There’s me, of course, and then there’s Amelia Earhart, the legendary female aviator who will be immortalized in a movie starring Hilary Swank later this year. Amelia’s style was already super fierce and I love a costume that allows me to buy pieces that I could wear again. Check out how I would rock her high-flying style on the cheap(ish), after the jump, but know you could always spend more on some of these pieces so they last a lifetime. Keep reading »

Go Trampy Trick-Or-Treating With Your Pet!

Amelia McDonell-ParryOctober 13, 2009 //

Because no dog should have to leave their sex appeal in their lingerie drawer, pet owners can now dress their furry friend in a slutty Halloween costume to match their own! Spoiled Rotten Doggies offers identical costumes for trampy ladies and their pooches — like Treasure Hunting Pirates (left) and Sexy French Maids! Lucca and I are sooo gonna get laid this Halloween!

The Halloween Inspiration Board: Maryann Forrester From “True Blood”

Annika HarrisOctober 13, 2009 //

Didn’t you just love to hate Maryann Forrester in season two of “True Blood“? Author Charlaine Harris has one helluva imagination, but it was creator/executive producer Alan Ball who brought Maryann to life. Even though she was a rather annoying villain (surprisingly, though, she was less annoying than Sookie Stackhouse), none of this season would have been possible without Maryann’s maenad craziness. So why not celebrate “He who comes” by dressing like his bride for Halloween? Just remember to periodically raise your arms and quiver? How to get the look, after the jump!

Costumes For Trick-Or-Treating Or Turning Tricks?

Annika HarrisOctober 12, 2009 //

Halloween is the one time of year when grown women let their hair down and bring their hemlines up as they become risque revelers at parties and parades across the country. But raunchy costumes aren’t only for those above the age of consent this year. A growing trend at costume stores and websites is offering risque costumes for tweens. The Dark Angel Tween Girl’s Costume, sold at SpiritHalloween.com, comes with a lace bustier, fishnet footless tights, and fishnet fingerless gloves. Similarly, Devil Delight Tween Girl’s Costume has a butt-skimming miniskirt and chest-baring bodice. The site also encourages the tween to be bad, saying: “It’s fun to look cute and be bad, you naughty girl!” Even the come-hither poses of the models are inappropriate. Would you believe some of these costumes are already sold out?! Keep reading »

Quick Pic: What Not To Wear This Halloween

Susannah BreslinOctober 12, 2009 //

I’ve seen a lot of really moronic Halloween costumes in my day, but this “eco-friendly” Go Green Girl Costume takes the cake. If global warming eliminates getups like this one, I’m all for it. [Jezebel] Keep reading »
