I know it’s been already been 2 weeks since Halloween but I thought I’d share this with y’all. As always, I waited till the last minute (like most people) to come up with a costume. And I’ve always pulled it off somehow. From Ghetto Ass Ninja to the Undead Samurai, the past 2 Halloweens were a lot of fun. I was not much into the holiday at first but somehow started to enjoy it. Actually, I almost gave up and stayed home this year because I was still recovering from the FeedBak Anniversary Party the weekend before. Then I had one of those “oh well” moments and decided to go for it. But if I were to do this, I’d do it all out; no half-ass-just-put-black-suit-and-black-shades-on-and-I-am-Men-In-Black or put-horns-on-my-head-and-I-am-a-horny-dude kind of deal. No way. There’s one thing I wanted to accomplish this year. I wanted to be invisible. No. I didn’t want to be Darkness and walk around the streets naked at night with my eyes and mouth closed. I mean that I didn’t want people to recognize me but I also wanted to creep people out. So I thought “what do people think is creepy?” Clowns, of course. But I figured clowns are classic Halloween costumes so I went with their ancient counterparts: jesters! So a creepy dead jester it was!

Here's how creepy I made it.

So I bought a jester outfit ($40) and its staff ($12) at Halloween Express. But I thought it wasn’t creepy enough even though it came with a skull mask. So I bought a creepier skull mask ($12) and skeleton gloves ($10). To add to the creepy and dead effect, I cut the outfit up, making holes and tears all over. I even went out to a construction site near my apartment to collect dirt to rub on it. I tore up a couple of old white shirts and poured fake blood to them ($12). So here I am with a $86 costume. And I have to admit that it turned out just like I imagined. So now what?

I’m usually not a fan of house parties but Halloween house parties are something else. Everybody is into it. No Men In Black or Horny Dudes. I was at a party in the Domain and it was a lot of fun along with Dennis Rodman (Obi) and Futuristic Lion (Ekow)! Seeing Wolverine dance salsa with Wonder Woman was quite entertaining. I stayed till 12am and decided to take my costume to the streets; and by “streets” I mean downtown of course. As you already know, traffic and parking was a bitch but I made out by 12:30am. People were dressed up everywhere. There was the ghost of Steve Jobs with his friend Batman, for some reason, walking down Guadeloupe. And as always, girls dressed as Sexy

[fill in the blank] were everywhere. Keep in mind that I am walking around alone and very slowly. I could see clearly through my mask people staring at me. And if someone stared just a bit too long, I’d stop and stare back at them as they walked past me. I heard many girls say “oh my god, he’s so scary” out loud. Two girls actually crossed the street (no joke!) when I stopped to stare at them. I actually stopped in front of Geisha Room and didn’t move a muscle and everytime sometime pointed towards me, I’d tilt my head slightly. Man, I was getting a real kick out of this. Weird, I know; but it’s OK because it was Halloween.

But I had more fun walking up to people I know and see if they’d guess it was me. From DJ Fndamntl, DJ Kurupt to Leo and Jasin at Beso, Nic and Pacifica and many more, none could tell. I was a rude person in a costume. Eventually I’d reveal myself by simply lifting my shirt and showing them a FeedBak sticker I stuck there. The best part was walked in Plush late that night. As always, Table Manners Crew was in the place doing what they do best. As I made my way through the packed room, hot as hell behind my mask, I didn’t say hi to anybody (except Veronica, who recognized me immediately). I worked my way to the front, right across from DJ Kid Slyce (un)dressed as “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan and DJ Crown as Randy “MachoMan” Savage. I was jamming for the most part and I’d just stop at times because I was getting hot wearing all this stuff. Zeale Rapz, as Blaxl Rose, kicked a few freestyles and even gave a shout out to the FeedBak not knowing that I was right there in front of him. I kept this little joke going until the very end. When they turned the lights on around 2:30am, I finally took my mask off and I loved the look on their faces! Slyce told me I was the creepiest thing he’d seen. That whole joke made my night, and my Halloween quite frankly. After that, I just went back to the party in the Domain which was still kicking at 3am!

But what’s Halloween really? It’s almost as if people get a free pass for acting weird and crazy on this one night (or weekend). Be as creepy as you want to be. Be as crazy as you feel like. Impersonate someone or something else without being judged. If you feel there’s a sexy cop, a slutty nurse, or a whorish school girl deep inside of you that has been repressed all year long, Halloween is certainly the time to bring her out. Guys that wanted to show their feminine side and know what it’s like to wear high heels were free to do so. It is a holiday, after all, celebrating our creepy, crazy, nerdy, slutty selves so all power to you if you were able to satisfy your inner self.

What about you? How was your Halloween?

P.S. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any costume that really stood out this year. I was too caught up in my creepiness. I remember the guy walking on slilts on a giant rooster made out paper-mache that read “I have a giant cock!” a few year ago.
