Happy Halloween from Melinda Mae!

Halloween used to be my favorite holiday because I always had so much fun dressing up! Unfortunately, this year I didn’t dress up but for sure, I will next year. Walking by the multiple Halloween stores, I like to see what the popular costumes are.   I did see some great Jersey Shore costumes.

 

The Situation

 

Here is the Situation!  If someone is interested in being the Situation for Halloween, you can save some money by just drawing abs on yourself and using a ton of spray tan. Get a can of mousse and grease up your hair and don’t forget the cheesy pick-up lines!

 

Snooki

 

Snooki is another popular costume, but all you really need is a can of hairspray to make the poof and a really tight short dress. And to complete the transition, make sure you do Snooki’s signature sound, “WAHHHH!”

The thing that makes me sad about Halloween is how every costume can somehow be turned into a “Slutty ______”. Here are some examples that are disappointing because they took my wholesome childhood memories and twisted them into really tiny outfits.

 

Slutty Rainbow Brite

 

 

Slutty Care Bear

 

 

Strawberry Shortcake

 

 

Mrs. Potato Head

 

And look at how the Disney Princess Costumes got ruined…

 

Belle from Beauty & the Beast

 

 

Aurora from Sleeping Beauty

 

 

Snow White

 

I don’t have anything against people who have worn these costumes, but I wish that there would be a bit more creativity to these costumes and more true to the actual character. What I love most about Halloween is to see everyone’s creativity, especially when people make their own costumes. Anyone want to share what they were for Halloween this year?
