Is it scary?

SINCE Singaporeans don’t practice trick or treating here in our cramped HDB flats, it’s not worth the effort renting or making an outfit from scratch. So here’s a list of eight practical DIY outfits you can don for some Halloween night clubbing!

The Bum
a) Gather a few torn pajamas or unwanted clothes
b) Patch them up haphazardly and crumple them up
c) Mess up your hair. Hold up a bunch of your hair and tangle it by repeatedly brushing it in a reverse-combing motion.
d) Apply some darker-than-your-skin-tone makeup foundation on your face to make it look unwashed.
e) Hold a wooden bowl with a few coins in it, and rattle it as you walk.
Result: You might even end up a few dollars richer by night’s end!



The sexy secretary
a) Tuck a formal looking shirt into a tight pencil skirt with the top three buttons opened
c) Add thick black-framed spectacles (to be tilted slightly down your nose so that you can look up teasingly)
d) Tie your hair up to a bun and apply scarlet lipstick.
e) Hold a clipboard and chew on a pen seductively.
Advice: Do it only if you’re super hot. Actually, you can still do it as a joke if you’re neither slim nor sexy. It’s called irony, darling.

The traffic light
Guys
a) Red shirt
b) Orange belt
c) Green pants
Girls
a) Red top
b) Orange skirt
c) Green stockings
Advantage: Easy to put together, and definitely noticeable with such bold colours!

The tampon
a) Pick an entirely white outfit
b) Paint your face and spray your hair white as well for maximum effect
c) Attach a long white string from the top of your head
d) Lastly, make a band to wear around your waist, which reads: “Tampax”
Caveat: This outfit is more effective for guys, since you would be able to execute a million cheesy pick up lines for the night in this costume.
