After putting so much effort into Saturday night and having such a blast I didn’t think I would be able to make it out again for Halloween proper. Well, I did! Now while I did not get home until 8pm I was able to quickly brainstorm an idea, rush to Value Village and pick up the necessary black jeans and a dark red-ish shirt, then I hit up the grocery store for some white out and washable markers (unfortunately Redlight was already closed but I was able to make do at the first two places.)
Here is the result:
With a close-up on the neck:
Now I was pretty sad how un-recognized my costume was at Linda’s and Havana, you think Capitol Hill would have been dialed into this fad, but no.. Thankfully a few gays made my night while walking home:
Random guy: ‘is that a real tattoo on your neck?’
Me: ‘no, i did it with this Crayola washable marker’ (Ben really wanted me to use a Sharpie but I was skeptical I’d be able to remove the next morning)
Random guy: ‘wow, you know who has a tattoo like that, Jeffrey from Project Runway’
Me: ‘oh really?’
Random guy: ‘wait, you have cut off black pants, sneakers, wow, good costume!’
Well, don’t take some random guy’s opinion, here’s Jeffrey’s picture, how did I do?
Big thanks to Stina for altering my $6 in clothing and tattoo’ing my neck.
Once out we saw some good costumes like, Hulk Hogan and Steve (too soon!), Mr.T and pothead, Robinhood and construction worker-lady and Barbie fan.
See all the photos from last night.
Update: Ben A. pointed out another person who dressed up as a Project Runway participant.
Hi!
You don’t know me but I found your blog through your condo blog…hope it’s okay.
I just HAD to tell you this costume idea is fabulous…sorta wish I’d thought up something like that myself!
you were only unrecognizable because to most of the hill it looked like you didn’t even dress up!
