As Halloween approaches, I’ve begun the search for an awesome costume. But, much like last year, I ended up finding tons of new costumes that just made me go “WTF.” Girls’ “sexy” costumes keep getting more and more bizarre.
I’ve found an assortment of costumes I want to share with you, and have broken them into four categories. But the best part? BuyCostumes.com is willing to send me one or two of these costumes of YOUR choice, and I’ll have some fun doing a photo shoot for you all. Just leave a comment with the costume you want to see me wear by noon on Wednesday, September 21, and keep an eye out for the photos (and a contest from BuyCostumes so you can win your own costume!) in the near future.
Without further ado:
Geeky Yet Sexy I don’t think any of this stuff would pass at a convention.
Angry Birds My friends and I have decided you can make this sexy by wearing nothing but underwear with it. I’m pretty sure I would be head butting people all night if I had this. I also can’t look at the picture of this costume without cracking up.
This may not look much like the Bumblebee you know and love tolerate, but I secretly love it. Why? Because SO many girls dress up as bumblebees during Halloween every year. This would be an amazing way to show them up.
Sexy Inanimate Objects I can’t say I ever thought of any of these things as sexy, but here goes…
Pool Table This costume was entirely created so guys could tell her “nice rack”. Bonus: The balls are moveable, so you can… move them. Not sure why you’d want to. Also, wouldn’t you just be opening yourself up to being beat with sticks all night if you wore this?
Bomb Nothing says “hottie” like a cartoony weapon of destruction. Also available: Dynamite.
Beer Are you short, very stocky, and looking for a Halloween costume? Voila!
Sexy Nightmares Man, who would have thought crazy people could look so good.
Silence of the Lambs Nothing says “sexy” like a crazy cannibal. BONUS: If people don’t know what movie you’re from, it says on your chest!
A Clockwork Orange You know that time you thought “I really want to go as a character from Clockwork Orange, but I want to show some leg, and maybe have guys think I’m cute?” Well, it’s your lucky day!
KISS So this isn’t a villian or a character from a horror film exactly, but it is the costume that’s most likely to give me nightmares. So, there’s that.
Let’s Ruin Our Childhood I just… I…
Oscar the Grouch Looks like we’re continuing the theme of “Sexy Sesame Street” characters started last year. I’m glad to see I can finally dress like a monster that lives in trash (and that his trash can makes such a tasteful pencil skirt.)
Ursula Just a quick reminder: Ursula is the obese octopus that steals the Little Mermaid’s voice. She is in no way sexy at ALL. That said, this outfit is actually kinda cute.
Rosie So, I see what you’re doing here. It’s a different, more fun version of the average “maid” costume. But… OH DEAR GOD WHY ARE YOU CARRYING YOUR HEAD AS A PURSE?
Hello Kitty This wins the “vomit in my mouth” award. Hello Kitty is not supposed to be hot. Or human. Please give me my childhood back.
After all that, I’m TERRIFIED to see what you’re going to make me wear. Don’t forget to leave a comment on what costume I should do a shoot in. Please go easy. Looking for something a bit less skanky for yourself? Take a look at the rest of BuyCostume’s Halloween costumes.
EDIT: I’ve tallied the votes, and the winning costume was: ROSIE! Second place was Angry Birds. Interesting to see the kinds of things you all think is “sexy”… Be on the look out for some pictures of me in the costume you picked in the next couple weeks!
Every once in a while I like to peruse the goods found on cragslist, and today I found the good-est of all.
A real, live, sorcerer for hire.
“I’ve handled divorce and domestic relationship cases, stalking and work place harassment and general bullying issues. Also attacks by Demons, Ghosts and people practicing Satanic Evil Black Magic. ”

Ubisoft, why? I loved you so much for Just Dance. But this? This is a game? Like, for real? Not some weird unfunny spoof?
(Edit: Ubisoft blocked the ad from the US. Entronews uploaded a US-friendly trailer, now seen above.)
I’m sorry. I missed the “sexy” part. And the “game” part. Even the actors in this video look uncomfortable, like they may be laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside.
I wasn’t sure what to post today, so naturally, I googled “Coolest Thing Ever”. And this was the first result:
Now, I know posting that will probably result in around a dozen broken microwaves, but I thought I’d give it a go anyway. Yes, it’s wicked awesome. No, I’m not sure if this is real. No, I wouldn’t recommend trying it in your microwave. (But if you do, send pics/video! I want to know if it turns out!)
Our friends at Parallels released a new video today: An Avatar/Eminem/PC/Mac Mashup of craziness.
And if you tweet out this message: “Watch the @ParallelsMac Avatar/Eminem spoof http://ow.ly/3lyNN #parallels” You’ll be entered in to win an iPad from Parallels!
Watch. Enjoy. Say “WTF?”. And then enter to win a free ipad. Not such a bad day, eh?
I really don’t even know how to describe this. There’s dancing, Transformers, King Kong, dragons, skulls, a little kid dressed as a cowboy, and a pumpkin carriage. Guys, I’m kinda scared. I was mesmerized and couldn’t look away while this video was playing. It’s less than 4 minutes long, but I felt like I was watching for forever. And I didn’t care. So, so weird.
If you hate your friends and don’t want them to ever come over to your house again, hang up this scary shower curtain, turn off your lights and make fun of them after they piss themselves in your bathroom.
*Puke!* WTF is that?! Is that an over-sized Brussels sprout with a bandanna wrapped around it?.. Or is that reeeally what the new look for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is set to be in their 2012 live action movie?
We pray that it’s just a prototype! That is definitely not the turtle we all know and love! If they can’t smile, then where’s the cowabunga in that?
If there are two games in this world that I’ve spent waaaaaaaaaay too much time on, it’s definitely gotta be:
1. Farmville
& 2. Bejeweled Blitz
Ohh Facebook, what a ridiculous gaming goldmine you are!
Facebook games are all the rage right now. So much so, that some game apps have even started going mobile! That’s right! Imagine having Farmville on your iPhone or Andriod!
All day you’ll be.. “Harvestin’ crops (*LIKE A BOSS*), and plowing crops (*LIKE A BOSS*), at the store (*LIKE A BOSS*), or in the lot (*LIKE A BOSS*)..” -OK that’s enough!
Now seriously, with the amount of time needed to play these games and because they are less rewarding than working in a Bangladeshi sweat shop, is this craze really worth getting into?
Here’s some responses:
“i love some but others are just cheap knockoffs of popuar ones. The best one is Mindjolt games, they offer a smorgasborg of interesting and old-skool games” – C Los Oliver
“I’ve got Wow & Bioshock. I don’t need no stinkin’ Facebook games!” – sailortweek
“I play ones like mafia and castle age, but the biggest problem is that they are down so much I just go back to my psp or ds.” – Nick Enderle
“I like only one of them. Starfleet Commander Extreme. It takes skill and it is a a fun game where you can get to know others and just have a fun time. It takes a about a week for you to get built up but once you are it is sweet.” – Jacob Gerber
“facebook games are an indicator of your friends becoming housewives or a stay at home mom (Farmville), M.Wars = bored at work” – DiscoParty
“HATE them! Spams up the timeline and people need to move on and play decent games like on the wii haha” – ER_nut
Annnnd the winner!! “they arnt games though, there more like ” to keep you on the computer longer while u sit and wait for another comment or message” kinda games lolol although my father loves farmville.lol” – Scott Mathews
What I think: Facebook games are time eaters. They pollute my feed and are addictive enough to make me stay on the computer for the entire day. (Pshaw, pretending like I don’t already!) I say this as a recovering farmer who was incredibly obsessed with Farmville! I had to delete my Farmville after I reached level 41 because I felt that it was getting out of hand. Luckily, I never wasted a penny on the game, but just believe me when I tell you to STAY CLEAR of ADDICTIVE FACEBOOK GAMES! They will consume your life and you deserve better!!!
