Re: Costume tips
[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Last"]I was thinking of being Rorshach for this Halloween. I would be Dr Manhattan but since I am posting on the internet you already know that I don't have the body for that. Got any Rorschach tips?[/quote] You just want a fedora, old trenchcoat and thin ski mask. The ski mask should be one of those that just gives you an oval when properly used. Get one with a long neck and just move everything up, so the oval is on the top of your head. From there, a Sharpie will let you draw the ink blots, but be sure to keep the area for your eyes bare. Grab a needle and poke a bunch of holes in the fabric of the mask: nobody will be able to tell you did it, but it lets a lot more light through. Of course, when the sun sets you'll be blind, but you should be blind drunk by that point anyway. Get the fedora early, because fucking hipsters snatch them up and you don't want to pay retail prices for a new one. Nobody cares what color your trenchcoat is, and in fact I'd say that brown doesn't look right in real life. Just having one in any shade makes the costume look right. If somebody asks you who you are, just say an "ink blot" or a "Rorschach test." It's not that you won't be able to say, "I'm a character in a graphic novel," it's that anyone you tell will trip all over themselves trying to introduce you to that cute girl at the party. Just avoid the whole thing: you'll win on the Internet, where you post a picture of your costume, and after the party where you successfully get the girl because every other guy will be dressed as those idiots from the "Sabotage" video. Rorschach lets you stay warm and drink plenty... it's what Halloween is all about. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey![/quote]
