A superhero and a gothic character for halloween
Let us say you are a little overweight but you want to look muscley and macho for halloween party. Here is what to do . Dress up in a pair of tights and matching top. Now pull on a pair of men’s briefs. Form muscles by filling a long leg sock with foam. Do the same for you biceps. Place the stuffing under the fabric on your arms. Secure them with some easy removable tape. So now they start to look like muscles and will not slip or lose shape.
A 19th century writer fits well into today Halloween theme. Let us choose Edgar Allen Poe (remember the pit and the pendulum?). Hew started the Gothic look.For this appearance you will wear a dark coloured suit and white ruffled shirt.Get yourself a feather quill as a pen and place it in your top packet.Throw a short cape over your shoulder.Pick up a gloomy old book from a second hand shop, preferable on a gloomy subject. Finally look to find a Raven that can be attached to your wrist by soft wire.
Alternatively sew it to your shoulder.
Now you have the look of Poe who wrote very macabre stories and probably had a lot to do with adding fear to Halloween.
