Goth Milk / Got Milk Halloween Costume

Inappropriate Halloween Costume #45

From the 2006 Archives:

Goth Milk? Tee hee. What I like about this Goth Milk Halloween Costume (play on words of Got Milk) is that it displays its easy-to-read message right on its torso. Three cheers also for the “realistic piercings” and the shiny but altogether impractical stomping boots. I really can’t resist tittering at Gothic couture… and bad, bad seeds. As for Halloween acceptability, let us all say in unison, “Goths aren’t scary!” Therefore poking fun at a non-spooky institution renders the satire useless, no matter how clever it is. A pale-faced, heavy-lidded beanpole might implore the reason for his-her-its non-threatening nature. To which I respond, it’s the makeup, fake fangs and overt piercings. I just can’t take the combination of theatrics, reverse-beautification and artificial transmogrification seriously. (But really, I adore Trent Reznor.)

The Goth Milk Halloween Costume is available from All Costumes.

Atomic Wedgie Halloween Costume

Inappropriate Halloween Costume #14

From the 2006 Archives:

The Atomic Wedgie Halloween Costume is a stupid and funny Halloween outfit.  The Atomic Wedgie puts a clever and exciting spin on the Nerd-Geek-Dork costume genre, in a groovy, retro way.  This outfit intellectually brings the viewer mid-story and is hence a natural conversation starter.  Sit back and listen to the questions flow: Under what circumstance did the geek get the wedgie?  Who gave the geek the wedgie?  What was the geek's emotional experience as the wedgie was being given?  Will the geek retaliate?  I like it.
