ALRIGHT FOLKS. HALLOWEEN IS TOMORROW AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
I’m going to make a list of the DO’S AND DONT’S OF HALLOWEEN. This post’s theme?
COSTUMES. You have a few days ’til Halloween and if you’re anything like me, you either had this planned years ago or you still don’t have a costume.
There is no in-between. ANYWAYS – ON WITH THE LIST.
DO: Wear a costume that makes YOU feel whatever you want to feel this Hallow’s Eve, whether that’s comfortable, confident, sexy, warm – this is YOUR night, so don’t feel like you need to dress up to please some random strangers.
DON’T: Shame anybody’s costume! This Halloween night is one night for people to dress up and exude all their pent up wardrobe wishes the other 364 days FOR ONE NIGHT. Whether this costume is large, revealing, comfortable – please don’t shame them! Jenna Marbles made a wonderful (but explicit) video on this – I’ll put the link below.
DO: Make sure your costume is at least somewhat comfortable. Whether you’re walking the streets, trick or treating or partying, you don’t want to be walking around in 7-inch heels or an extremely tight costume with little to no mobility (I once wrapped myself in tinfoil – if only I could give young me some better advice)
DON’T: Appropriate cultures to turn them into costumes! I could write an entire article on its own about this, but using another culture (ever-so-popular “Indian Girl” and “Geisha” are a few off the top of my head) as a costume is extremely offensive!
DO: BE SAFE. I don’t know why I didn’t put this first. While Halloween can be a fun night, a little precaution never hurt anybody. If you’re going out, make sure your phone is charged, you’re not alone and somebody knows where you are. If you’re spending the night in, have a closed-door policy after a specific time (most children stop at around 8-8:30 p.m.).
DON’T: Be that teenager. You know – the one that goes around stealing small children’s candy and egging people’s houses. This is the 21st century – you shouldn’t be going around pillaging and damaging like barbarians. Also – go buy your own candy instead of stealing. Not only do you get a choice, but it’s super cheap. Like $5 for a 150 box of assorted candies cheap.
SO. Those are my three DO’S and DON’TS for the day.
