Sexy Halloween Costumes 2011

Sexy Plaid Mad Hatter – There’s something strangely alluring about seeing the words “plaid” and “sexy” right next to each other. That makes this one a winner.

Sexy Raccoon – Like a sexy little thief, but cuddly. Sure they’re vicious little buggers and if you find one who lets you get close enough to touch, it’s probably riddled with disease… I’m just going to stop now.

Sexy Alice in Wonderland – Maybe there’s a creepy undertone about the whole “sexy Alice” thing, but Alice is one of the classic “sexy-versions-of -innocent-things” costumes, and the costumes on the market now just keep getting hotter. Some even come with corsettes, and that really ups the “Wow” factor. Just make sure you pick out a good one.

Sexy Girl Nerd – Sexy nerds are kinda like the giant squid. Science accepts that they exist, there’s photographic evidence that they’re out there somewhere, and those of us who admire them as some of the most majestic creatures in the world would love to be able to bring one home alive. But they remain elusive, the rarest of the rare. Hotties of the world, this Halloween, do the geeks of the world a favor. Even if you don’t know what a quad-core cpu or a Silmarillion is, dress like you do.

Beer Stein Babe – Guys like two things above all else: Beer and Women. And the Germans, for all their faults, certainly know how to combine the two.

Sexy Red Riding Hood – Sexy for all the same reasons as Alice in Wonderland, but with the added bonus of a sexy red color palette, giving a touch of danger and naughtiness to the look. Plus, if you are bringing a date, he has more manly options to co-ordinate with you. Most guys would prefer being a woodsman or a wolf to being the Mad-Hatter or Tweedle-Dum.

Sexy WAC – Proof that you don't need to show a lot of skin to be sexy. This is a catch-all category for any WWII-era women’s costume. The forties seem to be catching on again, and with the popularity of the Captain America movie (at least I liked it…) the Armed Forces will be very fashionable.

Sexy Raggedy Ann – This is kinda pushing the line on the “sexy-versions-of -innocent-things” motif, but the costume is so hot, you have to smack yourself and ask “why am I drooling over Raggedy Ann?”

Pin-Up Girl – If the forties are back in, why not go to the icon of forties sexiness, the Pin-Up girl? It works for just about any girl, from the Girl-Next-Door “You Never Saw This Side of Me” type to the Tatted-Up-Suicide-Girl “I Dress Pretty Much Like This Everyday” type.

Sexy Heinz Ketchup Dress – I have absolutely no explanation for why this is attractive, but it is.

Project: Spoon! Part 2

I wanted to give you all a quick update on the project, before I enter the Poppasleep for the evening. I’ve replenished my supply of Green Stuff (epoxy modelling gunk), and begun work on some of the big guns. I’ll post more pictures later, but for now, feast your eyes on the beginnings of the star of the show, the Tick. First came a nerve-wracking session separating Guido’s head from his body with a VERY sharp Xacto knife. Then came the part I feared the most, sculpting the new head. I toyed with the idea of altering an existing head, but the Tick has a very distinctive melon, and there weren’t any out there that came close enough. I’m no sculptor, but I figured the Tick’s head had a simple enough shape that I could manage to do a respectable job. The antennae are a job for another day, but so far I think Big Blue is shaping up nicely. As always, your comments are welcome.

Project: Spoon! Part 1

If you’ve been listening to our show lately, you know we’ve fallen under the spell of Heroclix. During our last gaming session (which lasted 8 hours, mind you), Radio’s Frank observed a particularly large hole in the range of comic characters covered in the game. Specifically, THERE’S NO TICK!

So, being a man of occasional action, and sporadic fits of creativity, I decided to rise to the occasion and do some good old fashioned conversion work. Thus was Project: Spoon! born.

I’ve decided to share my progress with you, the denizens of the interwebs, via this little Work In Progress blog, so you can see how the whole process goes down.

My first order of business was to assemble my team of body donors. Some of my raw materials are pictured below. Can any of you guess who these will eventually become?

Okay, this has been a lot of fun, but now it’s Christmas Eve, a time to reflect on what’s truly importa… OH MY GOD! THATS AN ACTUAL STUFFED REINDEER! What the hell, man!? Did they kill Blitzen and prop him up to make a better picture? That was a noble animal once, and now it’s here to haunt your nightmares. Oh well, Merry Christmas everybody!

In the Germanic countries, the Kristkindl, or Christ Child is a common player in Christmas traditions. Because real babies are notoriously unreliable, der kindle is usually portrayed by a young blonde girl. Here we see her posed with what appears to be a bank robber.

Note to Department Stores: Stop hiring 1970′s serial killers to play Santa Claus. Also, his beard looks like he stuck his finger in a wall socket. At least he fits Clement Moore’s description of “a jolly old elf.” He’s about half the size of the two kids on his lap. I bet they’re real happy this ended up on the internet.

Redneck Santa is hardcore. If you’re naughty, he doesn’t give you coal; he shoots your dog! Or is that one of the hell hounds from “Ghostbusters?” I can’t tell. Either way, this dude is scary and he means business! Look at that tat!

Abject terror. No other two words can capture the look on this child’s face. And who can blame her? The worst part about it? Look at St. Nick’s face. At first you think, ugh it’s all white. Creepy, I guess. But look a little deeper. Why is his face white? Is he deathly ill? Did someone actually thing that looked good? How many people do you think looked at that man BEFORE placing a little girl on his lap and said, “Yeah, he looks perfect, the kids will LOVE him!”

Hey, Ho! Let’s Go! Hey, Ho! Ho! Ho!

Oi! If you don’t leave milk and cookies for Father Christmas, ‘e’ll break a bottle o’ lager over your ‘ead ‘e will!

P.S. He’s probably headed to your kid’s school.
