It's not like i've got a credible reputation i wish to keep in tact and by no means do i consider myself above this kind of thing, i simply haven't been arsed.
That all changes this year. I've decided to make the effort...There'll be none of that "nice mask mate" well unless i decide to go as someone in a Mask.....and it impresses someone.
One thing i've found bizarre is that i'd be lampooned for not getting into the "Halloween spirit" though this was often by someone dressed as Superman or something totally irrelevant to the Ghosts & Ghouls theme.
It now appears that any kind of costume is acceptable and i'm fine with that. I welcome the wider scope. Though oddly enough this just means that instead of everyone going as a Vampire they now decide to be Heath Ledger/The Joker.....and look shit.
It'd be insane to spend a fortune (anything over £10)on a costume for one nights wear and with that in mind i've compiled a shortlist of barely acceptable budget outfits....
Flavor Flav
Pros:
It'd cost fuck all. We'll have an old clock somewhere, them Viking hats cost peanuts and i could probably get away without having to buy any clothes.
Cons:
I'm 6'1 and it's not socially acceptable to "black up" these days
Mankind
Pros:
Again, it'd cost fuck all. I've got a white shirt some black joggers and a sock.
Cons:
Fashioning a mask and getting a curly wig.
Despite not having any street cred to lose i just don't think i could risk people thinking i'm into wrestling.
George/Kuato from Total Recall
Pros:
It'd be a nice tribute to one of my favourite films
It's quite original, can't see the Heath Ledger effect applying
Cons:
Getting a green jacket, shirt and baby doll for under £10
Attaching a baby doll to my torso.
Being a 24 year old male and buying a baby doll without looking and feeling like some kind of weird nonce at the checkout.
At the moment i'm leaning towards George/Kuato.
I suppose it'll be kind of poetic because whenever i approach a woman on a night out i'm used to seeing Total Recoil.
