Jessica Lapidos — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:36:19 +0000

What with Twilight Breaking Dawn Part too many coming out this Friday, let’s talk about a rather sharp breed of newfangled dentistry. Cosmetic dentists to the stars Lowenberg, Lituchy + Kantor caught onto the vampiric hype years ago, and offer veneers that will take you from human to uncannily undead. Best get yours before the dawn breaks on 11/18 if you’re as Twihard as you say you are.

Supermodels and Designers do Halloween with Prabal Gurung’s “sister”

See what happens when the superstars of fashion fashion themselves for Halloween. When you play dress up for a living, the result can be quite spectacular. Like, what was Lily Donaldson? Did Richard Chai go mental? Is Terry Richardson really under there? Look if you dare, don’t get spooked.

Boo’s That Girl? Heidi Klum Ups the Costume Ante Once Again

Lester Brathwaite — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:57:22 +0000

Rolling in on a gurney, Heidi Klum came dressed to kill…or rather, dressed as someone already dead for her Halloween party at Tao Las Vegas over the weekend.

Never one to rest on her creepy laurels, Klum’s “Visible Woman” costume took hours to complete and was partially painted onto her body. And tonight, for her New York Halloween party, she’s reportedly going as an ape and if we know Heidi at all — which we don’t — she’ll probably come in swinging from a tree and hurling feces at her arriving guests. Because on Halloween it’s most important to stay in character.

And if you’re feeling nostalgic, take a spooky stroll down Memory Lane for some of Klum’s finest costumes.

Exclusive Interview: Babe Walker Talks Serious White Girl Problems

Nicole Vardo — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 17:05:28 +0000

Tweeting about anything from boyfriend issues to dramatic fashion malfunctions; Babe Walker of White Girl Problems is every girl’s go-to guru on all of life’s stressful questions. Thankfully FashionIndie got a one on one with Babe about everything any problemed white girl needs to know, especially all the info about her new internet venture-BabeWalker.com and all about the White Girl Problem memoir coming out in stores in January.

Can you describe BabeWalker.com in 3 words?

No, can you? That was 3 words, right?

What do you think of all the other twitter handles that try to have similar style to yours (i.e. nycgrlproblems)

I mean, am I a visionary? Maybe. A revolutionary? It’s been said before. The truth is I hate it when anyone copies me, but the fact that all these other accounts are out there is very flattering and cute.

Fill us in on your book White Girl Problems: your memoir, that comes out in stores on January 31,2012?

I was nearing the end of a 28-day rehabilitation program for a shopping addiction and I’d come to a crossroads in my life. Nobody was appreciating me/my struggles, so I decided to take a bunch of Adderall and write down all my grievances with the world. I wrote 250 pages in 48 hours. These stories later became my memoir.

Urban Daddy debuts the completely unnecessary but kind of completely fabulous Halloweeen Costume Concierge. If yo’re short on time, creativity or concern for costuming this Halloween, why not pay someone to do it for you? It is, after all, the American way.

But if you want to take advantage of this service, you’ll need to reserve your spot within the next two weeks.

Robo-Heidi

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:52:55 +0000

Halloween enthusiast and costume contest MVP, Heidi Klum is feeling a little robosexual this year. Secretly, though, between you and I, that’s no costume. Heidi is shedding her human skin for a night and letting loose on New York. Mothers, lock up your children before Robo-Heidi aufs your children. Aufs them straight to hell.

Still Need a Halloween Costume? Fake Boobs and a Scarf Will Get You JWOWW!

Amanda Gabriele — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 15:06:49 +0000

JWOWW‘s website for her clothing line Filthy Couture may be down, but DO NOT FEAR. She tells us exactly how to dress like her for Halloween even though her designs aren’t available for purchase.

According to JWOWW, this is all you need:

I would suggest a scarf shirt. The backless, swing-back shirt. They actually sell — I don’t like saying this, but if you Google me and Halloween costume, they sell fake, uh, boobs … So just get a bright yellow scarf shirt and ripped jeans, and put a lot of bronzer on and call it a day.

JWOWW went on the Ryan Seacrest show yesterday to shoot down rumors that her clothing line is gone for good. The site is down because Filthy Couture is being relaunched in stores. Well thank the lord!

You Too Can be Like Steven Slater and Exit the Halloween Party in Style

Amanda Gabriele — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 20:06:14 +0000

I hate prepackaged Halloween costumes more than anything, but the Angry Steward costume from Ricky’s is slightly more than mildly entertaining.

The getup comes complete with shirt, tie and bandaid for that baggage-inflicted head wound. Although you may not have an inflatable emergency exit available, you CAN act as disgruntled as possible with other Halloween party-goers and leave with an angry tirade.

My favorite is the “How to properly exit your job” pamphlet, which would have come in handy about six months ago. All of you lazy assholes can snag this costume on Rickyshalloween.com.

A Very Heidi Halloween: Klum’s Top 5 Costumes

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 19:27:45 +0000

Heidi Klum is a girl who loves her some Halloween. Rather than go the de rigueur sexy skank route, La Klum takes her All Hallows Eve seriously. Perhaps too seriously. But then again, if I had 53 kids, I’d be obsessed with the holiday too. Below, let’s take a walk down Memory’s ghoulish lane as we explore Heidi’s best costumes over the years.

Skank It Up This Halloween In Victoria’s Secret

McArthur Joseph — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 15:42:01 +0000

I learned from the movie Mean Girls that girls love Halloween because it’s an excuse for them to dress up in lingerie and pretend that it is a costume. Now Victoria Secret has created costumes so girls can slut it up, but can say they are still in a costume.

I really love that these costumes are perfect for both normal girls on Halloween and strippers on a daily basis.

Simon Doonan’s Quirky Halloween Costume Collection For Target Hits 5 Days Early

If you can tell, we are big Halloween people – as evidenced by our Snooki costume excitement – and cannot contain our glee over Simon Doonan’s costume collection for Target. The line, which hit online 5 days early, features quirky interpretations – ie. Spaghetti and Meatballs – a welcome break from the onslaught of slutty kittens and nurses that dominate the holiday.

But in typical Doonan fashion, he managed to slip a few pop culture references in there, too. “I thought of The Situation and those boys from ‘Jersey Shore’ when I did the T-shirt for the Pumpkin Punk Rocker costume.” Check out the line for yourself here:

RANDOM: Where The Wild Things Are Costume

Kirby Marzec — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:40:03 +0000

I’m not one to dress up as Hermione Granger during Harry Potter releases, but I may have to get me a Max costume for the opening of Where The Wild Things Are! Leave it up to Opening Ceremony to launch a Where The Wild Things Are collection, and for $610 you can be the talk of the premier. Yeah, it’s a little pricey for a costume, but hey, consider it your movie outfit, Halloween costume, Snuggie and return to childhood, all in one!

Thanks Buzz Feed!

Halloween is roughly a month away, but Katie Eary started early this year at London Fashion Week with her costume-inspired show. I am going completely crazy over this, but I have a feeling I’m one of the only ones that thinks it’s cool to wear your insides on the outside. What do you think?

Monique Montagnese, Contributor — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 21:13:57 +0000

The words fringe and leggings together is enough to make me cringe, but these are in a league of their own. Incase you’re halloween costume is not yet complete these are available at Beyond the Valley for £ 84.00. Otherwise, please stay away or you will end up looking like a 5 year old boy riding a wooden horse.

The Bashed: Celeb Halloween Costumes

Amanda Gabriele — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:50:01 +0000

I’m so bored I could die. I expect these types of unoriginal Halloween costumes from Midwestern sorority girls, but not from celebrities with unlimited resources. If I were famous, I wouldn’t show my face on camera wearing a bagged costume from the discount aisle at K-Mart. But enough with the complaining; allow me to discuss this wretched mess.

Let me begin with three celebrities that took an overused idea and made it even more unoriginal. Khloe Kardashian, Heidi Montag and Traci Bingham decided to dress like police officers. How groundbreaking. The purpose of Halloween is to actually look like what you are dressing up as. If you want to dress half-naked, get a Playboy bunny costume and rock it out! But these three were a disgraceful bunch of officers. I think it will be hard to chase criminals in heels. All three sets of those tits probably fell out at the end of the night. At least they could arrest each other for indecent exposure.

Oh Mimi, how I love you, but couldn’t you think of something better than this? At least you wore what appears to be a real firefighter’s uniform, but what’s with the bra showing underneath? I know you are more original than this; I know Mariah Carey could have come up with a Halloween costume that was extravagant and unique. You look like another boring college trick-or-treater.

Kendra Wilkinson is dressed how she always dresses. Minus 15 points.

And drumroll please…..my favorite piece-of-shit costume from this year’s Halloween. Aubrey O’Day, what the fuck were you thinking? This is the ugliest mermaid costume I have ever seen. It looks like one of those weird mother-of-the-bride dresses from the “Misses” section in Dillards. I’m almost positive that real mermaids don’t wear mesh fabric over their midriffs. If O’Day would have called herself “Rejected Golden Nugget Cocktail Waitress” instead of a mermaid, I would have praised her for a sense of humor.

This dog is awesome. He/she totally blew all of you suckers out of the water (no pun intended Aubrey).

Thanks, ladies, for defiling my favorite holiday.

Thanks Everyone for the pics

Andy Wass — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:13:50 +0000

The celebrities are starting to have their Halloween parties — I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of lame costumes over the next week, but I think Gwen Stefani could almost pull off her sunny-side-up egg as a regular dress.

F*ck Ups: Slutty Costumes

Amanda Gabriele — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:37:26 +0000

Although I’ve been over this for quite some time, the approaching Halloween festivities have conjured sour feelings towards this trend. “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.” Even though Mean Girls is a beacon of light and truth, I have to disagree with this statement. I can say something about it. If I see one more sexy cop, slutty firefighter or naughty nurse this year, I am going to flip out and start throwing cold cuts at the wearer. The point of Halloween is to try your very hardest to dress exactly like someone or something else. I know it’s an easy way out for amateurs, but most often, the skanktastic garb doesn’t make sense. I have never seen a bumblebee showing her hoo-ha to everyone in the hive. But if dressing to show skin is what you really desire, allow me to make some suggestions on which costumes would realistically look fab showing a little more leg.

Burlesque dancer: Becoming very hip again on the nightlife circuit, this costume is fun and sexy. Wear some high-class lingerie, fishnets and carry a cane. But make sure you are going to an indoor party; this one could get chilly.

Cave woman: Real ancient cave dwellers wore skimpy buckskins, animal bones and no shoes. Get a tetanus shot prior to trick or treating and watch out for nails.

Baby: The ultimate leg-baring character, this costume requires a diaper, bib and binky. Fill a bottle with cocktail of choice and you’re good to go.
