It's getting spoopy in here

Boo

Wake up and smell the candy corn

There is nothing more humiliating in school than being dress coded. I remember being dress-coded by a teacher I once thought was my friend: the middle school theatre teacher. I soon learned that he was nothing of the sort. He made me change from simple black leggings into sweatpants from the 90s, and I was horrified. I don't know what changed in him, but one day he snapped and started ranting about the importance of the dress code and how we need to “dress our age.”

I am nothing if not a Hedi Klum stan . I started watching Project Runway when I was about 7 years old, and it took me rewatching it this summer to realize that she was the perfect host. Something about Heidi's delivery of information to the designers, her German accent, and her charm makes her an absolute joy to watch onscreen. Unlike Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, she is not so bitter and critical, and she brought a level of fun to the judge's panel that was desperately needed. Heidi has always…

Last minute costume ideas?

Happy Halloween, meme freaks ! It's true that many Halloween festivities happened this past weekend. The big parties, the dancing, the absolute mayhem. But today is the official holiday, and we're celebrating it the only way we know how: with memes. Unless you've been living under a gigantic rock over the past month, you've probably seen those ‘ Fake Spirit Halloween Costume' memes flying around on Twitter, Instagram, and beyond. Well, we're back with some more. This time, the memes are dedicat…

Halloween is finally upon us , and you know what that means! It's time to speak to the manager about why it's on a Monday this year. Sure, having Halloween on a Monday, in some ways, makes the weekend longer, but you still have to go to work, don't you? A Thursday, I could accept. But a Monday? It's a disgrace. With the Halloweekend now gone, it's time to accept that the day itself will not be as iconic as what transpired this weekend. When you're a kid, Halloween is all leading up to this nigh…

“Most little girls choose princess, or barbie… Here's what my daughter chose.”

It feels like one day we were going about our lives in early October, and Halloween was a distant event in our bleak futures. And then, suddenly, BAM! The entire internet was brimming with memes using the new-ish Spirit Halloween costume format. While people have been making this kind of parody meme since 2019, the format completely exploded this month - to the point where the company itself is in on the joke, and the #SpiritHallowmeme hashtag is now a thing. Spirit Halloween even tweeted a tem…

My culture is not your costume!

Not to brag, but I was the MVP of Halloween when I was a kid. My grandma, my mom, and I concocted costumes that could not be more legendary. Here's a master list of the costumes I did so that you will believe me: I was Arthur from the hit PBS series, The Monopoly Man, The Mona Lisa, Ursula The Sea Witch, Garfield The Cat, and a Cavewoman all in a row. Those were the costumes I wore from Kindergarten through 5th grade, and I had all hits and no misses. Even when I was a teenager, my Halloweens w…

The tarantula is my new sleep paralysis demon

Feeling fab-boo-lous

It is officially October, which means celebrating the Halloween season is now completely socially acceptable. During the first few weeks of Spooktober, before Halloween events really start revving up, I like to take time to consume some good old fashioned Universal Monster Movies. I'm talking The Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, and how could you forget the ever so furry Wolf Man. I'm of the opinion that the old monster movies are the most superior horror movies. Sure, t…
