My 2009 Costume Discussion

So this Halloween had a lot of interesting costume trends, clever ideas, and BIG flops in my opinion. As I have said many times before I am very opinionated and want to reveal to you all how 2009’s Halloween costumes went based on what I saw.

Here are my costume favorites of this year:

1. Octo-mom. This was by far the most clever, and my favorite. I only saw one, a girl wore a wig braided to look like her. Then she just had a bunch of baby dolls hanging everywhere. I could see this costume winning prizes that some of the bars are offering.
2. Kanye West. I loved having people bust into my conversations saying, “You Imma let you finish but, Beyonce….” Then just walking away. This was hilarious and clever I saw 2 or 3 of these.
3. I saw this Vages dance-esk costume with peacock feathers twice. It was a VERY pretty and sexy costume. The top was a corset with the feathers out the back when spankies and fishnets.

Costume Trends:
1. There were lots of police officers and security guards. I am bored with these and think they are unoriginal, but I saw like 30, so big trend as always.
2. Michael Jackson, I saw a lot of these but I was expecting that after his still recent death.
3. Pirates. These are another popular costume every year.

Costume Flops:
1. Girls in sleazy costumes who couldn’t pull it off. There are costumes made for every body type. If you are not perfectly fit wear a tiny costume that covers up problem spots. I saw lots of belly shirts that should have been regular shirts.
2. Guys in girls costumes. This was funy at first but the more I saw the more I thought, really you couldn’t come up with anything more clever?
3. Costumes with wings. I was at a few different bars, and all I could was run away from people with wings. It is so annoying to have them hitting you and getting stuck on you. If you are going to a party for Halloween, DON’T WEAR WINGS!
