The Monster Mash
Let me tell you that as holidays go, Halloween should be my favorite. All sorts of mischief abounds, and no matter what age you are, you get totally shitfaced--regardless of whether your source of intoxication is sugar or liquor. Both make you sick, fat, exhausted in the AM and often promise never to indulge again, even if you can't swear that oath with a straight face.
However, I always succumb to the pressure of concocting some witty costume. I hate wearing face paint and I can never come up with a good idea. In my opinion, the best costume ever was conceived by my brother, Ryan, wherein he would safety-pin dozens of little rolls of smarties to his pants and go as: "Mr. Smarty-Pants."
That's my kind of costume. Low maintenance, cost-effective and, um, smart.
I am toying with the idea of going as either a Smurf or Mary-Kate. What is everyone else going as???
Anyway, Rose is having a party at Happy Ending on Saturday night. You should go. Here are the details:

As has surely been discussed before, the potential pitfall of dressing like a pop star/overgrown child actress is that you just end up looking like a trendified hipster. It is therefore vital to have that one defining accessory that is forever wedded to that person in everyone's mind -- for example, Avril Lavigne's sweat bands, Jessica Simpson's Peruvian shawl or Britney's cheetos. So for MK you would obviously need those gigantic red sunglasses, famously documented in the picture of her looking disgusted with her burrito.
Now since I plan to be a pop star for halloween, I was recently struck by the fear that PERHAPS not everyone religiously scrutinizes gossip blogs and US weekly, and thus would not recognize my costume immediately. For instance, are there people out there who have not committed permanently to memory the aforementioned burrito photo? But then I breathed a sigh of relief when it occurred to me that why should I be trying to impress people like that?
Anyway, what about being Ashlee Simpson? C'mon, the poor girl needs some serious support in these dark hours.
Wait, I thought MK was supposed to be eating pizza in that photo? Or, I could wear a hot purple dress and weird vintage earrings over one of those skeleton tee-shirts. Ha. that would be funny.
I think people will totally get the Britney reference. It's so obvious, especially if you have a Mrs. Federline shirt on. And a bag of cheetos. That's a multi-faceted accessory. You can snack as you reference. Excellent.
Unfortunately I'd be willing to bet my life it was a burrito.
Well, good news for sluts everywhere. It's supposed to be 70 degrees on Halloween night, so no need to cover up those scanty outfits!
Hey now, kid sis. Referencing my witty halloween costume ideas isn't the best way to get me to read the 'blog. . .but it helps. And I think you're next post should be about your ultra-cool older brother who's a Washington insider. I don't know, maybe you can tie it into something about the upcoming elections or how the government really is falling apart. Any rate, I'd definitely read more often if it was about me.
BTW, this year I'm doing the Halloweenage as the greatest politician of the last decade. Yes, Al Gore. Wait, I'm sorry. . .he was the worst. I meant my main man Mr. Bill Clinton & his P-Funk Allstars. Anyway, I need a little help. Should I go with the suit and a cigar (from Monica's Humidor, natch) or would it be better as the fat (Elvis) Bill wearing too-small jogging shorts and carrying a Big Mac box?
Let me know.
