Skimming Rainbow Presents: Costumes

Happy Halloween, Squeeple! I look forward to Halloween all year. For 2 years I’ve been planning to dress as a 40’s pinup, but I never gather the actual items for the costume. Then I forget to make Halloween plans, and I end up drawing a dot on my nose and whiskers on my cheeks, and hanging out at home in my pajamas. It sounds sad but it’s fine - I will do something along those lines on Valentine’s Day too. It’s my system.

Yesterday I said that there would be new information about the pro-ana lifestyle in today’s Skimming Rainbow. I had a lot more to say about it than I realized, and I could give myself a heart attack thinking about it. I’m just going to link this page and let you hash it out.

Ok, come up to the leaaab, and see what’s on the sleaaab. According to the internet this week…

• Elvira. She’s still alive, she looks fabulous, and she’s dressed like a writer.
• There is no excuse - ever - for a Teen Sexy Costumes section. But young girls’ Halloween costumes are pretty much a guaranteed source for flat out wrong anyway.
• When you tote your children around Alabama, a cardboard box is not a good substitute for a child car seat. (Not even if you decorate it to look like one.)
• For your everyday costumes, these shoes are HOT and CHEAP. Just like I like my coffee.
• Please, for the love of god, someone make a hat out of these two signs and go as Peaches Geldof.
• OK, are these two going as some kind of Before-And-After Self-Esteem act?
• You don’t have to be racist to dress as a historic Native American. You may pull off the look better if you’re transgender. (This gets the premature award for coolest shit I heard all week.)
• Keanu Reeves knows about costumes. He’s been rocking them for centuries.
• Some people like to go the glam, sexy route for Halloween.
• Others prefer a futuristic, catastrophic prophecy theme.
• You could even go for the grotesque, Monique’s Mother look and dress as Cindy Crawford.
• My computer screen is going to be dressed as this site for Halloween, because I can’t click away.

…And what are your costumes, Squeeple?

The Good, Bad, And The Fabulous

Movies have the power to remind of us of of different periods in our lives. You can tell a lot about a person by the movies they choose to represent their lives. Unfortunately for you all I have a great love of horrible movies. And also just so you know, my mother and her sisters let us all watch just about anything.

Here’s  how we play

Childhood

Monty Python, The Holy Grail

Even as a young jujubee I knew this was some seriously funny shit. How can you not love French taunting and laughing at the plague. The plague kills it. Here’s a scene from the funniest taunting scene ever.
