Halloween
Trick-or-treat all year long
When I was 3 years old, my mom dressed me up for Halloween as my treasured clock radio. Yes, for reasons I no longer understand, I spent an entire holiday dressed as a pre-iHome electronic wake-up call. I trick-or-treated that year encased in a giant cutout piece of white foam board, festooned with permanent marker buttons.
I will never wear girls’ jeans again
They are too tight, too uncomfortable, and my thighs are too big, but it was for Halloween, and I chose to be a hipster. My friends and I planned it two or three weeks in advance: We would dress up as random counterculture groups and beg for candy at the Central West End as a nostalgic act of silliness.
Trick or treat
With Halloween around the corner, my roommates and I have to get ready for little kids coming up to our door trying to get their grubby hands on our hard-earned candy. Living off campus in a residential neighborhood means that there are going to be costumed critters running around on sugar highs.
Last-minute costume ideas
nlike someone I know, you probably haven’t been planning your seven different Halloween costumes since last April. But the most important of all college holidays is merely days away. And if you are still struggling to come up with an idea that is clever, funny and cheap, don’t enter crisis mode just yet, because Cadenza is here to provide some inspiration for some simple, last-minute costume ideas that at least match one of those stipulations—mostly the “cheap” one.
The Haps: It’s just a step to the right
There are few times in your life when you can dress in drag or wear corsets in public without people looking on in shock. One of these times is coming up this weekend, when the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” will be playing at the Tivoli.
Creative Halloween Costumes
It’s no longer seen as just a “kiddie candy” day, and since you’re tired of always going as Batman or another Disney princess, you’ve been browsing stores and magazines for more than a month now.
