Lady Gaga, Beyonce And More Musical Halloween Costumes
Posted by Efas 2010 Celebrity News on October 31, 2011Halloween is just around the corner, and even though era are tough, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still have a kick-ass costume. And since no one wants to end up trick or treating as a lame ghost (or a “sexy border patrol agent”), I’m here to help, with a handful of homemade Halloween costumes that allow you to still dress up as your favorite artist, while not breaking the bank.
Of course, if you don’t have a bank to break, fret not, because a lot of my thoughts don’t require a costume at all ? just your imagination, a fierce attitude and an awareness of irony that limits on, well, ironic. So, if you’re at a loss for your next costume ? or too broke to care ? read on, because, boy, do I have some suggestions for you. After all, Halloween is for everyone (especially those who like candy), and who among us doesn’t want to dress up like Coldplay?!? Have a look, and send me some candy!
Adele: Deceptively simple. Refrain from speaking to anyone all night (vocal rest!) while firing through Marlboros like a mahjong player on a bender. For added authenticity, sell approximately one bazillion albums.
Beyoncé: Take a balloon and stuff it beneath your $10,000 Reed Krakoff dress, mimic B’s matronly glow with a $7,000 HD Ruby and Diamond Peel Facial, strap your $1,200 Christian Louboutin heels on extra tight to replicate the ankle-swelling side effects of pregnancy. Or just down a crate of Four Loko and get all crazy like the “Ring the Alarm” video.
Britney Spears: Get a boyfriend with exactly 24 rippling abdominal muscles. Consume Strawberry Frappuccinos as if they were being discontinued. Be a commercially viable force, much to the consternation of critics and naysayers the world over. Say “y’all” a lot.
Coldplay: Dress in matching, finger-painted outfits with three of your closest friends (or, in a pinch, tattered French Revolutionary garb). Donate all your candy to Oxfam. Hang out with Brian Eno. Maintain an nearly annoying level of self-efficacy.
Justin Bieber: Just get a snake named Johnson.
Kanye West: Communicate to every single person you meet as if you were speaking in ALL CAPS. Wear sunglasses, even at night. Have a bizarre thing for the Olsen twins. Over-impart when it comes to your personal feelings and sexual proclivities. Make complex, Machiavellian conspiracy theories. Treat every comment and criticism as if it were a flaming sword to the torso. Cut a Maybach in half with your pal Jay-Z.
Katy Perry: Dress up as a mermaid. Or a ungainly, orthodontically enhanced pre-teen. Or an S&M cheetah. Or a space alien. Or, really, you could just lick a bunch of candy and stick it to various parts of your body. Katy’s simple.
Lady Gaga: Sure, you could go the simple route and just trick or treat as Jo Calderone (and deliver a lengthy monologue while doing so), but where’s the fun in that? As a replacement for, why not meld yourself with a motorcycle, like the British fighter-turned-model, make a drug-fueled music video with him. Note: May not get you a ton of candy on the farms of Northern Ireland.
