I’m a mouse, duh!
“Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”
— Mean Girls
It’s that time of year again! Dust of the leotards and loin clothes and book your extra dentist appointment. Halloween is right around the corner.
Whether you plan to purchase your costume from the traveling theme store or be crafty at Rugged Warehouse, here are the rules we, as college students, must bite the bullet to follow.
- Don’t, for the love of God, dress as a cat, mouse, or any other small animal. Do not throw on some lingerie, headband-ears and call it a day. Some things are better left in their cage.
- Don’t pretend to be my doctor, nurse, police officer or firefighter. I have one of each that actually fights diseases, crimes and flames. I don’t need another.
- Don’t play Tarzan unless you actually swing from vines. Certain body parts should be left for the imagination.
- Don’t, to resurrect the Mean Girls reference, be a bride-zilla. That’s not cute either.
Now what should you do? Follow these tips:
- Do keep it classy with chic celebrity. Audrey and Marilyn can still be friends over a natty light.
- Do recruit friends. The Avengers filled movie theaters for a reason and the Spice Girls still want you to be their lover.
- Do utilize male clothes. Halloween always has room for some Risky Business.
- Do have fun. Modest is hottest.
This is the day to be creative and adventurous. Whether you borrow your mom’s pearls or dig out your Superman cape, please remember you’re in public. Those Facebook pictures will haunt you way past this ghostly holiday.
