Freaky Friday: Halloween Edition 2011

Tuesday, October 30, 2012

It's that time again! I know you've been waiting for it! Time to scour the Web to find the sketchiest sexy costumes EVER. This is probably my favorite HNTDLAM feature. Because nothing says "I have low self esteem" like fishnets on Halloween.





"Sexy Anorexia": Maggie

We should probably just start with a bang and do the most offensive first. This is "Sexy Anorexia." She likes long walks on the beach, obsessively counting calories and apparently, measuring her waist.

Like... really? I don't believe in the human race anymore.



"Sexy Hotdog": Rachelle
My sister-in-law texted my about this late last night, so I'm giving her credit as a last minute submission. Because I could not pass up the opportunity to post a sexy hotdog.
"Amber D'Alessio made out with a hot dog? OMG THAT WAS ONE TIME!"
Name that movie!!
But seriously. This gives the term "street meat" new meaning, amiright?

"Sexy Sea Turtle": Lindsay
This has got to be one of my favorite in the "make cute animals pornographic" category. I would actually like to know how this is a turtle in any way. They have flippers, not Madonna Half Gloves.


"Sexy Shark" - Angela
On the Yandy website they called this a "Man Eater" HAHAHAHA kill me. I really love how the bottom of the skirt is all jagged and ripped... because.... the shark was eating herself?


"Sexy Unicorn": Lindsay

Lindsay also sent over this total stretch of a costume, the sexy unicorn. Most of the costumes at that site are lingerie or tiny dresses with huge boots. Can we just do that instead?
"What are you going to be for Halloween?"
"Oh, a dirty whore with fuzzy boots."



"Sexy Lloyd and Harry" - Nicole

Yeah, you read this right. These girls managed to defile all that is holy in the world and make "Dumb and Dumber" into sexy Halloween costumes. See, you know they're sexy because they're the loosest interpretation ever paired with tights and underpants. STOP IT. Don't you ruin Lloyd Christmas for me!


"Sexy Hamster": Valeria
Rodents. So hot right now. Also, please note this is the rodent from the Kia commercial, like that makes dressing like what is essentially a sexy rat any better.

Again with the furry boots!


"Sexy House": Janelle

Janelle sent me a whole collection of bad costumes, but this was my favorite BY FAR. Let's guess what pickup lines this girl will get when she goes to her trashtastic Halloween party.
-Can I peek through your windows?
-Nice cat (prepubescent man giggles ensue)
-How much to rent?



"Sexy Hulk Hogan.... or Ronald McDonald, I can't decide.": Carrie
What says sexy more than a mustachioed lady in latex? I dare you to come up with something sexier.


"Sexy Pikachus" 1: Ashley 2: Megan
It's clash of the low self esteem teens! When I first conjured this contest, I jokingly asked all of you to go find a sexy Pikachu costume, because at the time, it was the most ridiculous costume i could think of. Then two readers sent me some and I stood corrected. The best part is that in both costumes, the only thing that resembles an animated space hamster are the ears. Pretty sure there was not 6" heels in Pokemon.


"Sexy CSI": Nicole
She's here to collect some samples.

EWW. Did I just say that?






"Sexy Etch a Sketch": Danielle
This was my favorite submissing that Danielle sent me. I will never look at my kids' Etch a Sketch the same. Sketchy Sally, indeed.

I am convinced you could make literally any object into a sexy costumes. Sexy lamp? Sexy scissors? Sexy garbage can? All totally plausible.


"Sexy Optimus Prime": Natalie

My favorite part about this costume was BY FAR the reviews it got. One enthusiastically proclaimed "It didn't rip when I sat down!" Dream big, skanky Halloween girl. You keep those standards high.

Alright, that's the group. Remember... post the title or the name of the submitter to cast your vote. Let's see which is the worst of the worst.... of the WORST.

Also, stay tuned for What I Wore on Monday, when you'll get to see my (non-slutty) Halloween costume! It's gonna be epic.

Vote away!

Freaky Friday: Annual Trashy Costumes Edition 2010

Ahhh I am so very excited to share with you my top picks for the trashiest Halloween costumes. Especially since finding them was like shooting a fish in a barrel. Entire online stores are devoted to making you look like a Playmate for Halloween, it's amazing to me! Let's check out my faves and a bunch from Yandy.com this year!


SEE!? It's a sexy football player because it says "Sexy" on it AND the number 69. SEXY! Aaaaaand the award for subtlety goes to....



Why do trashy Halloween costumes think that by wearing a short skirt and stripper heels, it's OK to ruin your child's favorite character? Nemo? Sure! Spongebob? Yes, please! Big Bird? Where's Katy Perry!?


A-ha. The trashy gumball machine. Please note that the gumballs are dispensed from her bajingo, which I think is a special and demure touch.


This gets the award for laziest costume EVER. I enlarged it so you can see. She's a remote control. My favorite part is the "Mute" button. Does that mean she'll stop talking if I touch her boob?


Sexy Phantom of the Opera...

Wait a minute, who's that?


Uh, look trashy girl, that's cool and Imma let you finish, but Gerard Butler had one of the best phantom costumes of all time. ALL. TIME.


Thanks Yeezy.


Well that was rude.



Ah yeah, there's definitely some busting going on around here.


Don't you ruin my favorite childhood characters like that, trashy girl! Don't you put that evil on me!!


Easily my favorite. I saw this and immediately thought of Mean Girls.
"What are you?"
"I'm a MOUSE. D'uh."

By the way... I think she's supposed to be a bumblebee.

Wasn't that fun!? Have you guys seen any particularly heinous and skanktastic costumes this year? I can't wait!

Freaky Friday: Halloween Edition 2009

So, I was recently discussing with some friends why women assume it's okay to dress like a dirtywhoreskank on Halloween. I am terrified for my daughter to become a teenager, asking me if she can dress up as a sexy taxi driver or something for All Hallow's Eve. So, in celebration of the trashtasticness that is Halloween, I give you sexy costumes that should not be sexy at all, many of them found at Yandy.com.


K, lets be honest here. This "Sexy Eskimo" costume is basically a glorified hoodie without pants. Save yourself $50 and just wear your hubby's school sweater. PS in Canada, "eskimo" is a fairly derogatory term. Just sayin.



Ooh! A sexy chef! Because when I think of a good filet mignon, I also think of short skirts and boobs. Fantastique!



This one was listed as a sexy nutcracker. Why yes, she does look like she cracks.... nuts....



Sexy Spongebob makes baby Jesus cry.



I was actually joking about the sexy taxi driver, but then I actually found one. Where I'm from, all of the taxi drivers are bald, wear denim shirts and smell slightly of tobacco and curry. So no, I have never met one of these sexy taxi drivers.



This one made me laugh the hardest. It was labeled as a "Sexy RED BULL Drinker" Like OH MY GOSH. If you want to show up to a party wearing your lingerie, just do it. Stop trying to make it into a costume. Show up naked for all I care. Then call yourself a sexy doctor. Because that's about how relevant this costume is.


A sexy skeleton. Clearly just an excuse to show off that hot PELVIC BONE!!!



So THIS is why Eve got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Prostitution.



Let's alienate some more cultures by making them into sex kitten-ish Halloween costumes. You don't mind that, Native Americans, do you?



Sexy Nemo. NEMO. Because when I think of sex, I think of adolescent clown fish? WHERE AM I???

Now that I officially hate the holiday, I'm going to get into my stressed out mom costume and take my kids trick or treating.



This is my stressed out mom costume.

What I Wore: The Mr.

Monday, October 29, 2012

Alright guys, this week is going to pretty post-heavy, so I hope you're ready for alllll this jelly comin' atcha. (Kill me for typing that) Between Halloween and my own costume and WHY does every child's class need you to bring in treats, I'm running crazy this week. But I definitely won't miss out on our costume contest. I'm just putting the final touches on my own costume. Are you excited? YOU SHOULD BE.

But for now, let's get an outfit post out of the way. I'm dedicating this one to my husband. That's because if you ask him what his favorite color is, he'll say "neutral." And he's not being facetious. In fact, his favorite color combination of life is black and tan -- the color of our boat. So basically what I'm saying is that when I wear black and tan he finds me as attractive as our boat, which means he finds me very attractive.

 Anyway, poor Justin is constantly stuck behind the camera, so he's getting kudos today because I wore his favorite colors and he put up with my major meltdown when I couldn't find the camera. I swear, my camera has legs and delights in scurrying around to different locations at precisely the moment I'm late and need it.

Top: Gap
Skirt: Urban Wear
Shoes: Steve Madden
Belt: asos
Bracelet: Inspired Silver
Necklace: local craft fair
Cami/slip: Kingdom and State (K&S sent me an amazing slip that is super silky and actually stayed put all day. I am a huuuge fan! Check out their brand-new line.)

He also had to put up with me saying things like "Do my shoes look blue enough in this light??" 


 "NOW do they look blue?"

After all, this outfit is a lot like me and my husband. Pretty neutral, but with a teensy bit of crazy -- that's me! 



So a big thanks to The Mr., who patiently takes pictures and deals with my intense camera-related mood swings.  He's the best.

There he is! xoxoxo.



Alright, party people. Get ready for some major postage this week and I don't mean the kind that costs $0.45. Oh I am so funny.

Tutorial: How to Fake a Blowout

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

So I was thinking that it might be fun to show you how I do my hair when I don't have the time to actually blowout my hair, which is basically an everyday occurrence.You can do this trick with just straight blowdried (but not styled) hair, but I like to do it with air dried hair because I'm super lazy.

If you're my friend in real life, I'm embarrassed that you'll finally see how I'm able to get ready in like five minutes. I wish I could keep up the facade that it actually took five years to do my hair but I'm tired of living a lieeeeeeeeeee.


Wanna before and after? Here it is: Boom.The first pic is air dried and the second is after doing my neato fake trick. Hooray for fakeness!



And now, here's the vid on how to score super smooth, blowdried hair without actually using a hairdryer. If it seems like I just cut off randomly at the end, it's because I literally just forgot what I was saying in midsentence and stared blankly at the camera for 30 seconds. I should have left it because you could see how terrible I am at this. Ah well. It does the job. Enjoy!

What I Wore: Chopped!

Monday, October 22, 2012

So I went and had four or five inches of hair hacked off on Friday and I could not be more happy. I had family pictures on Saturday and it was a little nerve-wracking to do it just before being immortalized with pricey pics, but I'm glad I did in the end. My poor hair is so processed that taking off the bottom makes it look so much healthier. I also feel like it makes me look younger, which is great because I already look like a teen mom half of the time.

Anyway, wanna see?

Whee! I asked for it to just barely hit my collarbone and I heart it muchly. What's more, it's shaved like 6 hours off of my hairdrying time. Always a good thing.

I also love how when you get a haircut, all of your clothes and jewelry look new.

White top: Charlotte Russe
Cardi: c/o mod bod
Skinnies: Ardene (Canada)
Shoes: Nine West
Ring and earrings: F21

I try to work these pants into every outfit ever and I'm sure it's getting obnoxious but I don't care. Also, can I just say how much fun it is to wear heels for no reason on a weekday? Try it! 


  Photobucket
See how much healthier my poor mistreated hair looks? I told my mom that I felt like shorter hair made me look smarter and she said that would only be true if I wore my crazy-huge bifocals that I had to wear when I was five.  They were purple and magnified my eyes to roughly 2,000x their natural size. The only way my parents could get me to wear them was to tell me that they made me smarter. 

I don't think it worked. I totally peaked at age 12, but I've worn glasses my entire life.

 Photobucket 

Ooh, now I need to try new hair with glasses. People might think I'm a genius though, and that could get awkward. I can't even remember how to add fractions. Maybe I should get my purple bifocals out?


Freaky Friday

Friday, October 19, 2012

 Happy day guys! Not only is it Friday, but I'm having my hair chopped too. I am need of a good, solid change. I was looking through some pictures and realized I've had basically the same cut for a year and it's no bueno. Can't wait to show you on Monday!

In the meantime, may I show you some ugly clothes? I may!? Well that's just fantastic.


 This was marketed as a bracelet. Pshhh I made like 9,000 of these with those neon stretchy nylon bracelets when I was like 12. Any 90s kids with me on this one?


 This is a dress in the loosest interpretation of the word. I mean the color is cute, but let's just hope that it matches your ladybits that will be flashing gratuitously all night long.


 Stephanie sent me possibly the trashiest leggings of all time. Granted, they're from a place called Only Leggings. Maybe they ran out of ideas and started catering to the drunk rodeo queen demographic?

 But I guess they're still better than hairy knees. How embarassing.


 Fact: These pants took roughly 12 yards of denim to make. On the bright side, her ankles look positively tiny... but I can only imagine how pancakey her poor butt looks.

Do. Not. Waaaaaaaaaant.

Those shoes are crocheted. My whole life is a lie.


 I've never really jumped on the whole skirt over pants bandwagon, much less the half-skirt over non-matching pants and ugly shoes thing. I'm so out of touch. Sigh.


 Well these will just haunt my dreams forever.

Imagine showing up to a summer wedding in these bad boys? I'm thinking romance on the beach.


Julie sent me this $1,200 sweater. They could have lowered the price but there's $900 worth of wool here. It's like 7 sheep basically. Pair it with those denim gauchos. 
 
Have I told you I hate headwraps? Well, I do. But I especially hate when they look like undies. I get enough of this from my three year old son, kthanks.


Alright, I'm off! I have a crazy busy few days so as much as I'd like to make fun of scrunchie bracelets and underpants hats all day with you, alas, I cannot. Still, check back next week: I've got new hair, a hair tutorial and an awesome giveaway plan. Hint: A reader *might* be getting a triple digit handbag but I won't spoil the surprise.
