I hate when people dress up as aclever food costume.The only reason I hate them, is because I am so jealous I didn’t think of it first. Although, it’s pretty rare you see twodeviled eggsat a party..you wouldn’t want to be the second egg to arrive. I can never get anyone cool enough to coordinate a couples costumewith me.

Spooky Houses and Decorations! boooooo!

Halloween is coming! Halloween is coming! I am in the mood for a scare! These are some ideas on how to decorate for Halloween without having to spend a lot of cashola.

Take cardboard and cut out bat shapes (use a stencil if you need to). After you cut them out, use markers or paint to add color. Black bats look great hanging with a bit of fishing wire or string.

Make fake tombstones out of cardboard. Just cut out the shape, paint it gray, and write RIP or other sayings on them. They can then be placed in a window, or in a place where they won’t get wet.

Use colored paper to cut out pumpkins, black cats, or other Halloween pictures. These can be placed in windows, or on walls.

Recycle old costumes and clothes. Old masks can be used to make life size monsters with just some old clothes and newspapers.

Make alien eggs by blowing normal eggs and washing out the shells. Paint them with glow-in-the-dark paint, leave to dry, and paint spots on them in purple, black or green. Arange them on shelves or in painted shoeboxes.

Check out these decorations. A couple new things here and there will really add charm to your homemade Halloween decorations. The count down is on!!!

Archie, the cheating redhead who gets too much credit.

The Archie comics have been around nearly 70 years and for the duration of the past 7 decades, Archie has been the luckiest redheaded man ev-er. Archie is an awkward freckled teenage boy who has no real definable talent or looks to speak of, yet he has Riverdale High’s two hottest girls constantly battling over him. It’s the age old battle of blonde versus brunette. Though, I’d consider Veronica more raven than anything else. Over the last 70 years Archie has had on and off relationships with both of them. What I don’t get is how these women STILL want him. He is continually leaving one for the other and has nothing to offer. In some screwed up universe these girls think its cute and endearing to sell out your friends, always be late, do badly in school, and just all around lack work ethic and ambition. I hope when the series does come to an end both of these women smarten up and see the truth: a life in Archie’s parents basement with ginger kids. Despite my feelings about Archie specifically, as a child I loved this comic series. I remember going to my dads house for the weekend and he’d have the newest Archie comic waiting. For the first time in my life, I discoveredArchie Halloween Costumes. I couldn’t believe my eyes, they even have Betty and Veronica Costumes. So even though adult me hates Archie, I can’t help but think this is such a cool and uniquehalloween costumeidea.
