10/30/07 - Good ol' Halloween is once again dawning upon us and trick or treating is no longer on the minds of most college students. (Well I did go my freshman year thinking I would get candy, but instead I received nips and beer.)
Students at this time usually have a few things on their mind. One is when is the Charlie Brown special going to be on TV. Another is what parties or bars to go to for the week. The last, and most important thing, is what should one dress up as for the week.
Halloween here at the University of Rhode Island seems to be a week-long event as opposed to the traditional one night that we were so accustomed to when we were younger.
I'm here to give guidance on some possible Halloween costumes to try out.
Girls seem to have it so easy when it comes to being dolled up for this special event. All of you out there have the chance to prance around with little to no clothing on and can classify a costume (or lack thereof) as being a "whore." What a cop out.
Or you just dress up as any profession and then "put your face on" and call it sexy- like a sexy teacher, sexy mail woman, etc. I'm not saying that you should stop doing this. I enjoy very much looking at these costumes (for their creativity), but you make it so much harder for guys to be impressive.
I've decided that there are only three top costume categories that allow the wearer to both show off and look good while wearing it.
The first costume type is the hero theme. Classics such as Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman (I don't really think he was a hero but more along the lines of a really rich guy with lots of gadgets) are costumes that you typically see year after year, but if you can be creative enough you could do a really great job at attaining this superhero persona.
You can also go over the fence and make up your own here. For example, Broom Man, fights dirt, grime and dust all in one sweep. You can also be a bad guy. An example of a creative villain is Debbie Downer, the destroyer of all that is happy and joyous in the lives of humans.
