![marching band leader from a music video from a song that wasn’t very good.<\/a> Maybe I was trying to stand out? Or maybe I trying to be a leader in my own life? Or maybe I just wanted to wear gold hot pants. Either way, I’m pretty sure my subconscious will always want to have blonder hair, to wear red lipstick, and to just be Gwen Stefani.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nSlash<\/strong> – This was a far cry from the the year before and was probably my most rebellious costume. It spoke of my desire to get too many tattoos and piercings, wear leather pants, and revert back to pretending I was a guy again. I was told I looked disgusting slash scary<\/a> by several guys but it was OK – it was about something bigger than getting hit on at the bar – it was about screaming in the streets, drinking Jack Daniels, and passing out on the couch with my BF Axl and a pizza the size of our male alter egos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPost College<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\nThe Mechanic<\/strong> – This was an attempt to not look like I tried too hard, but my Dickies coveralls didn’t cover my strategically placed oil marks, fake eyelashes, and my beloved high school clip on pony tail. I think I was really trying to repair my life in my post-college depression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nGarth<\/strong> – This was a sister bonding costume and we just wanted to have party time and be excellent together. I feel like we were meant to me Wayne and Garth, mostly because I look like Garth naturally when I wake up every morning<\/a>. I did manage to lose Wayne this night and this costume proved that I am a much better Garth with my Wayne.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThe Party Animal<\/strong> – This was a last minute and minimal effort costume. I wanted to be clever, cute, and above all else, comfortable. But when people asked if I was a birthday cat, my claws came out. This costume represented my lethargy about living in NYC and the animal I was becoming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nLast Year<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\nSock Monkey<\/strong> – This was pajamas disguised as a Halloween costume. What did this say about me? \u00a0I was lazy, had eaten too much pizza the last year to not<\/em> wear a onesie, and the only place I really wanted to go that night was to bed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIF I decide to dress up this year, \u00a0my college partner-in-crime and I are going to be Thelma and Louise.
