Yeah, when I first saw "jumbo iPhone costumes", I almost threw up a little in my mouth, too. But you have to watch the video. Yeah, the two guys look like a couple of douches, but they've got to get mad props for putting together these things in the first place. Incredibly impressive. Thanks to Delsyd for the link.

If you're going to bother to dress up in a costume this Halloween, chances are that unless you're a lame-o that your costume of choice will probably be some sort of trademarked character-- that's been the trend of most Halloween costumes in the US at least for quite some time. Problem is that costume stores wouldn't sell a whole lot of costumes if they couldn't sell you clever knock-offs of trademarked characters and they had to rely on officially licensed versions, like say the slutty Marvel chick costumes.

Holy crap this year is going by fast-- before you know it it'll be October, and then Halloween and then... Christmas (squeal!). Just in time to get yours orders before Halloween, Marvel recently announced its "Women of Marvel" costume collection-- officially licensed super slutty superheroine costumes for your or the hot chick in your life. The first wave of “Women of Marvel” costumes will include Black Cat, Emma Frost, Spider-Girl (both classic and black versions), and American Dream of A-Next.

For many people, Halloween is the time to get all crazy-- get a little drunk, get a whole bunch of candy and let loose by dressing up in crazy costumes you wish you could get away with every other day of the year. Like pirate garb or dressing up like a giant used tampon for example. For other people, Halloween is the time of year to dress up their dogs in stupid costumes to fill some sort of childless void in their life. Okay, so maybe that was a little mean. Some of these are really well done and funny.
