Monday Morning Roundtable: Bad costumes
This week, the Heave staff was asked:
What’s the worst Halloween costume you’re probably going to see this year, and why?
Bill Cosby, because it’s probably a while guy in blackface.
Miley Cyrus, for obvious reasons.
[insert character here] over-sexualized female costume.
Every third girl will be dressed as MTV VMA-version Miley Cyrus and that just makes me…sad.
I predict that a quarter of the female population (and probably part of the male population, too) is going to transform into Miley Cyrus. All controversy aside, one Miley is more than enough.
Since everyone has already touched on how bad the epidemic of flesh-colored lingerie and protruding tongues is going to be in a couple weeks, I’ll also point out that a sexy version of Sheriff Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead now exists. And like. Why? Unless it’s to correlate with the point in the evening where the wearer gets so drunk that they start ugly crying, and therein really look like Rick Grimes, this makes no sense. Without context, you just look like a hot park ranger.
Also, I want to believe that no jackasses will go as some reference to Adrian Peterson’s dead son under the “Too soon!” guise, but I don’t have enough faith in people to pretend it’s not going to happen.
