Nun

The men and women of God; Nuns, priests, rabbi, pastors, the pope, etc. All of these people live devoted lives of service to the lord, but you and I both know that there have been more than enough tv shows and movies devoted to these people where they aren’t exactly the peaceful, calm and righteous individuals they are supposed to be. This Halloween, why not be one of these variations on a religious figure.

Possibly the most popular of all of them is the ‘Naughty Nun’, the idea that a woman who is ‘married to god’ and therefore remains pure her entire life — still has a dirty side to her that simply will not quit. These costumes often include the usual habit and robe, but the robe is cut very short to appear more like a mini-skirt, and some sexy heels and/or panty hose with some kind of garter is worn. The naughty nurse is essentially a tease, you can never have her, but she’ll dress provocatively to entice you regardless.

The second most popular I would assume is the ‘priest who is packin’’, but no, not in the way that you’re thinking with your dirty mind. I’m talking about firepower, arms, weapons, the whole shebang. It’s always hilarious when in an action flick, the priest pulls from his robes a couple of ak47s and begins putting bullet holes in every enemy around him. He, like the naughty nun is a contradiction. He’s supposed to be a peaceful person full of love and the wisdom of the lord, when in reality he’s a skilled marksman who will take you down quickly should you give him reason to fight.

Those two examples aside, there are plenty of other ways to take something as simple and straightforward as a servant of god and twist it into something that might appear in a blockbuster film. All it takes is a little shopping around, and a few cool ideas to take your costume this Halloween from boring to a blast. A shotgun blast, that is.
