Awesome Costumes

American Apparel is hosting their annual costume contest. The only real rule is that you have to use some of their clothing. With all the color and style selection, that's not too hard, and people certainly came up with awesome ideas. My own costume is pretty much all AA this year (70's basketball player), so I thought I post up some people who got a little more creative than I did.

Squirrel. Check out the handmade tail. Niiice.

Crayons.

Where's Zordon though, really?

Where the Wild Things Are!

Adorable Ninja-turtles.

American Gladiators. The expressions make it.

This is insane.

You can vote for your favorites, and help some of the best win some AA cash. So many costume ideas, I need Halloween to be twice a year.

Lacy Pumpkins

So pretty!

Circus Circus: The Cobrasnake & Betsey

Lovely backstage and runway photos of Bestsey Johnson's SP09 show, from keen-eyed camera jockey The Cobrasnake.

Engraved Macbooks

I'm one of those people who give you a dirty look if you tarnish the minimalistic beauty of the Macbook by putting a sticker or some other blemish on its apple-y goodness. But then I saw these beauties, and I must admit I could even use the word "love" in describing my feelings. Never say never.

(I even snuck more skulls in there)

Spooky Stories: One Bloody Thing After Another

The creators of A Softer World (writer Joey Comeau and photogtapher Emily Horne) have written a horror story in serial form. Each chapter is posted every few days, with the final installment on Halloween night.

Much like the fabulous weekly comic, the first five chapters are sad and funny and creepy in all the best ways.

"Margaret can't stand the way Annette gets when she hasn't eaten. Most of the time, it's easy to remember that she isn't really Margaret's sister anymore. She's something else. She grunts and howls and makes animal sounds. But after a few days without food, she starts finding words. Always random words, like accidents, but in Annette's voice..."

Angus & Julia Stone: Just a Boy

Oh so in love with this song and video. The paper marionettes and framing make me feel like I'm looking in a Cornell Box.
