Post Hallow Blues

It is a tradition of mine to start contemplating Halloween costumes for the next Halloween the day after Halloween happens. I know, I know. If this puts too much cognitive stress on your hungover, sugar-addled brain, I don't blame you. However, if you are a fan of Scott Pilgrim (like me), there are very few reasons why this shouldn't brighten up even the most dreadful case of post-hallow blues: Adidas Superstars, Snorkel Parka, band shirt, Levis, wristbands (minus the yellow stripes), a Canadian haircut and oh yes, the power of self respect. You're going to need it. Now go eat a tuna melt or something and watch CSPAN.  (via thingsoganizedneatly)

Halloween: Fierce Like Martha

I never thought I'd say this, but seriously, Martha Stewart is fierce. Sure, her fondness for color-coding can be a tad constipated and, yes, she was once "indicted by the government," but guys, that was, like, once if you recall! What really matters is that Martha knows exactly how to throw together a kickass Halloween costume, and to top it off, she can do it in ten minutes, tops. Rose gardens, bird's nests, and beehives are all pretty damn nifty, but personally I think the Medusa hairdo is perfect for my scary-not-sexy policy. Snakes? Yes. Grecian hairdo? Yes. Icy blue shadow and an equally icy stare? Double Yes! Keep in mind that Martha's costume this year will blow everyone else's out of the water. Butterfly-winged lashes? Where can I get those?
