I go to Temple and enjoy soda. I also like dinosaurs and Batman. I promise, I am not a child.

I wanted to give the counts for different costumes I saw, especially if they are “sexy” versions of things that are not intended to be sexy.
- Sexy Cat/Kitten/Leopard: 9
- Sexy Rabbit: 2
- Professional Bowler: 2 (I’ll just let that one sink in. 2 unrelated people thought “professional bowler” was a clever and interesting costume.)
- Alice in Wonderland (and related characters) : 12, but they appeared to be part of a group
- Banana: 2
- “Mexican”: 3 (Yes, their entire costume WAS a sombrero! How’d you guess?)
- Blonde white girl dressed as a sexy native american: 4
- Escaped mental patient: 2 (complete with jumpsuits marked with “Psycho”)
I also wanted to share the worst costumes, whether they be from lack of effort or taste:
- Osama Bin Laden: Yes, really. Someone thought that was a good idea.
- “Vending Machine”: They wore a white T-shirt on which they had drawn numbers and taped candy. However, scotch tape doesn’t hold candy very well, especially when you’re dancing, so by the time I talked to him, he was just wearing a shirt with numbers written in a grid. He wanted me to guess what he was, so I said “Sudoku?” He got really angry.
- Sexy Santa Claus: Why do they even make that costume? It’s like “You know how I want to celebrate Halloween? Christmas!“
- Child Molester: One, his entire costume was tucking in his shirt and drawing a mustache on his face. Two, I could probably write an entire post on why dressing up as a child molester for halloween is problematic, but I won’t right now. (I could excuse it if it was part of a double costume with someone dressed as Chris Hansen, but this guy didn’t consider that.) -50 for concept, -150 for execution.
- Leaf: At least, this is what she said her costume was. She wore a leaf in her hair. She later lost it.
- Sexy Cop: I had the good fortune to be passing some actual cops when I saw this one. Made them laugh with my joke about how revealing the new uniforms were.
- Sexy America?: Maybe it was Sexy American flag, but either way, not a strong concept.
Honorable mentions for best costumes, in either concept or execution:
- Old Spice Guy: I imagine this was a simple costume to pull off, but he really won me over with his choice to carry around an old spice bottle full of booze.
- Troll Dolls: It takes commitment to a concept to, in 40 degree weather, wear a skintight spandex suit that matches your skin and make 2 feet of pink hair stand up all night.
- Sexy Periodic Table: You know how when your odometer reaches a certain point, it runs out of digits and rolls over to zero again? This sometimes happens with halloween costumes, where a concept is so absurd that it is automatically an amazing costume. This was the case here. She wore a sexy silver midriff dress and had the periodic table drawn on her stomach. She actually executed it well, but the execution doesn’t matter. Neither does whether or not the costume was done in earnest or satire. Sexy Periodic Table is forever the best costume concept ever imagined.
