I love teenage trick-or-treaters. They put a lot of effort into their costumes (at least the ones I've seen) and they're fully aware of how people think they're too old. BS. I just had another five of them. Each one polite and well-costumed. I actually identified the one who was bacon. Seriously, tho, isn't it their parents who are cosplaying whenever they can? Go. For. It.

I'll visit with more when I can throughout the day, but in the meanwhile here's hoping everyone enjoys today in whatever fashion they desire.

Happy Halloween!

Looks like everyone is way busier than I am, probably doing actual Halloween stuff. 😝

At any rate, would be a shame to this group, who I could probably drop any video, but ESPECIALLY leaving off one called "Bloody Dress"

#JMusicFriday #costumes

This #JMusicFriday we shall finish off "monthly thematic" and indeed while considering them, I was questioning the order. But since it was ending literally on Halloween-Halloween, where we'll see people dressed up at work, around town, going to parties, trick or treating tonight, I felt obliged to end with #costumes

If it can be "costume-ass costumes" like kind you would SEE at parties and around town that's great, but a bit limiting. So feel free to lean into whatever kind of fancy dress you want, and the hugest-budget #costuming a music video can offer!

To start, I am going to lean on BRADIO's "Hotel Alien" which was used as the OP for Peeping Life, for reasons that will quickly become obvious

...and also their music video

A Caucasian woman is standing in a foyer wearing a hot pink necklace made of thigh-length tentacles. She is grinning madly and the tentacles are all wiggly.

"The #costumes also have a more practical use: #safety for the wearers and potentially a public service for the rest of us.

For as wanton as many of these agents of the state have become, what would it look like to see video of some of them beating people in inflatable costumes? It would only underscore how out of control they are and further bolster public sentiment to get #ICE off our streets."

The rise of the frog resistance

People in inflatable animal costumes are making a mockery of Trump’s lies and the cosplaying Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Text from article:
Basically, mocking works. We shouldn’t mock children because they often don’t know better, but adults whose entire personalities are centered around hating and harming marginalized communities? They deserve all of our scorn.

There’s video of a Homeland Security agent shooting pepper spray into the air valve of Todd’s costume this month as he tried to help a fellow demonstrator who had been shoved to the ground. You do not look like the good guy when you’re breaking up a dance party and running behind someone wearing a child-like blow-up frog outfit to force a chemical irritant into it. — Text from article: Basically, mocking works.

Seven hot pink sparkly stuffed tentacles lie on a cutting mat on the floor. They are very tentacly and glisten in an oozy kind of way. God I love them.

This photo might show it a bit better.

A hot pink sparkly tentacle on an ironing board with a bag of polyfil in the background. The tentacle is partially inverted, with the end of the tentacle stuffed and right side out, while the wider part is still inside out and folded over.

Ok here’s something I’m real happy I figured out on the second tentacle and not the sixth. You can stuff it *while you turn it*…so you invert the tip, put a bit of stuffing in, push the tip further in, add some more fluff, and repeat until the whole thing is done. So much easier than trying to turn the whole thing right side out and then struggling to get the fluff down to the very tip.

A photograph of the tentacle inside, showing a bit of fluff peeking out where the tip was inverted.

A woman’s hand holding a hot pink fabric tentacle. The tentacle is inside out (as it was sewn) and there is a bulge visible where the tip has been inverted and stuffed.
