Yeah, perhaps it's a bit early, but fuck it, this is my FAVORITE time of year, and I am so excited to write this post.
Normally, for Halloween, I don't dress up. At least, the last few years I haven't, because I've been working or had no plans.
But, a friend of mine is throwing a huge party this year, so I'm super excited to dress up and get stupid drunk and maybe make a few mistakes ;)
So, months ago, I decided that I was gonna be like an evil chola-nun.
For those of you who don't know what a "chola" is, seriously GTS, cause it's awesome.
Example below:
cho·la
ˈCHōlə/
noun
- a Latin American woman or girl with Indian blood; a mestiza."a couple of chola girls"
I am a "latin american" woman, with Indian (Native American) blood, so technically, I am Chola.
But the subculture surrounding it is something that I grew up knowing because of my sister.
She wasn't chola, exactly, but she had friends that were.
PICS!!:
Okay, so now that you know what a chola looks like, watch this video, its hilarious, and scary accurate:
So that is the first option, just so that I can keep track, I'm going to put my options in a list:
1) Chola
2) Chola/Evil Nun
Crazy right?!?!
But yeah, I thought it would be really cool to combine some cool things, and basically make it more into a character: Chola from the barrio turned Nun.
So these are some of my reference pics for the nun.
I could also just really be like a slutty nun, I feel like there are a lot of versatility with just these two concepts.
Some other options are:
3) Sheena: she was the first female comic book character to have her own comic, she is a blonde, and I'm not feeling wearing a wig, but I have a bathing suit that would work perfect as a costume. Super simple.
4) Zatanna: she's also a comic book character (DC) and pretty underrated. I love her look, it's fairly simple too, just a sexy magician or something. But yeah, I love her look, really awesome.
5) Miss Kitty from Monkeybone: I love this character, It's mostly makeup, and I already a dress I can use. It's not Asian inspired or green, but it'll work regardless.
6) Lydia Deetz: This one is fairly easy, I have everything already in my closet, it's really a simple back up option if I can't makeup my mind or i'm out of time.
7)Mia Wallace, I love her, again this costume is kind of a backup, but still a great one.
8) Wayne:again, another simple backup, I have all the things for this costume in my closet and it's a great comfy character.
9) Morticia Addams or Elvira (They're so similar that they could be one and the same)
Sexy and creepy = BEST THING EVER!
10) and finally: Lily Munster, I recently started watching the show again, and I don't really like the costume that that much, but it's a backup
So yeah, these are just some ideas, let me know what you think, and what you guys are dressing up as this year.
