I'm on a Boat! (Zombie)

Had this idea at the thrift store today. An epic combination of two awesome things; I'm on a boat and zombies. This is defenetly the frontrunner in the Halloween costume competition. I am however, still accepting idea submissions.

Very professional Zombie makeup

I've been spending a little time thinking about zombie costumes in preparation for Halloween this year. I'm currently watching this video about zombie makeup. This guy is so into it. He clearly knows what he's doing but the video is a little tedious. He spents 3 minutes describing the cosmetics he uses. Which is cool, but I'm not going to buy the expensive stuff, I just want to get ideas for technique. The makeup job is very professional and full of good tips,.Plus, it's totally worth it just for the adorable music. Check it out. or a second video by the same people, with a little more liquid latex.

Glitter Skulls

Glitter skulls are so in this season.
Step 1:  Find some plastic skulls at your local dollar store. They look like this but without the string.
Step 2: Dilute some elmers glue and paint it on.
Step 3: Dip in glitter. Very messy. I chose dark blue glitter because its rockin'.
Step 4: Profit? No seriously, I'm working on what to do with these next. Photos to come when I have a good enough idea.

Surprise!

I'm so doing this to everyone I know. It's TP origami. The article only pitches it as a nice thing for hotels to do, but I think it's a nice way to leave a little surprise for people who's bathrooms you've visited.

Of Course

Props to Emily for thinking of this first.
By far the best Halloween costume idea yet: Michael Jackson Zombie!

Pros: Awesome and clever.

Cons: I don't in any way wish to embody MJ. Sorry. Not a supporter.

So I'm going to take a pass on this as my costume. However, I think it's a fantastic idea for another brave soul.

First costume suggestion

The first suggestion for a zombie costume comes from Brian.

Hipster Zombie
Pros: I already own 95% of this costume.

Cons: I'll have to rip and stain most of my prime hipster gear.

This costume may have a very humorous effect if pulled off correctly. However, I feel the irony may be lost on most of the population. I foresee being mistaken for a zombie college student, not clever enough. Sorry Brian

thinking about Halloween costumes

Halloween is my absolute favorite time of year. I love everything about it. I love pumpkins. I love costumes. I love candy. I love ridiculous and over the top parties. Did I mention the gore?
Well...I'm pretty much certain I'm going to dress as a zombie again this year. I just need some help deciding what exact type of zombie I'm going to be. I'll post the best suggestions here and some thoughts on how to execute them. But for now, please enjoy pictures of last year's costume: Zombie Gynecologist!
