Costumes in the Realistic Category

Very cool Cosplay costumes from the American animated MTV series Daria. You can compare how accurate these Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane costumes are with the image from the show that inspired it.

I wish they had stuck with original drinking glasses. But what can you do? Coca-Cola advertising and tables go hand in hand.

Thanks to Bob for sending in his costume. He created the perfect Halloween costume if your goal is to stand around and not do anything. Unless you want to pull a Ghostbusters II at times and dance around to "Higher and Higher".

There is a downside. You might get some punk teenagers trying to answer the age old question of what's up the skirt for themselves.

Where did he find those sandals? They look like the actual pair on the Statue of Liberty.

This is the time of year when a lot of weddings are taking place. So I figured this was as good of a time as any to finally do a wedding dress post.


You're traditional white wedding dress has historically been associate with happiness and purity. The vagina wedding dress is the way to go if you want to make a statement and throw the "purity" down the aisle. I guess it would also highlight the happiness.

I'm worried Queen Victoria would be upset with how the white wedding dress has evolved.

Thanks to Laura for sending in her homemade ostrich jockey costume. She constructed it using paper mache, an inner tube pool toy, feathers, paint, a slinky, and a few pairs of tights.

You can never have too many ostrich jockeys around. Someone has to keep those creepy things at bay.

Even before his death in 2005, the Hunter S. Thompson costume was becoming popular among college students on Halloween. Due a lot to the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, later adapted into a film starring Johnny Depp.

Most of the products you need to complete this costume you already own:

• Hawaiian shirt
• Khaki pants / shorts
• Long socks
• Fishermans hat (Skip if you are bald or have the guts to shave your head to look like you are bald)
• Avaiator sunglasses
• Cigarette holder
• Flyswatter

To complete the costume get extremely drunk.
