Top 5 Funny Halloween Costumes for Guys!

October 28, 2009 · 3 Comments

So I was talking to my friend Rajeev and he mentioned he didn’t know what he should be for Halloween, so I went to work on my search for some cool guy costumes.

I found some cool ideas that I wanted to share with you all since I rarely write stuff for guys.

Guys are lucky since they can do all kinds of crazy and funny things without having to worry about if they look cute or not.

So here are my Top 5 Funny Halloween Costumes for Guys.

1. A Facebook Profile Page:

You can get a white poster board and be anyone’s profile including your own. Cut out a square for your profile photo so your own head can show through. Not only will people want to take photos with you but they will also want to write on your wall (so have a marker handy) See more details at: http://reface.me/humor/facebook-halloween-costumes/

2. The Kissing Booth

This is another funny idea for single guys. I am not guaranteeing it will work.. in fact some girls might even think it’s cheesy but it still gets a laugh and may start a conversation!

3. Kraft Single

One of my friends did this a few years back and told me about it, I thought it was really funny. Again this is a good one for the single guy.

It may take a while for some girls to get it, but once they do, they will definitely think its witty.

To make it, you need the following items:

To make it I used the following:

– 1 twin size mattress pad (the egg-crate kind)
– A big sheet of plastic (I used a mattress bag)
– A razor blade or utility knife
– A can of spray adhesive
– A can of orangy-yellow spray paint
– A big Kraft sticker

4. God’s Gift to Women

You can only get away with being this conceited during Halloween. Regardless, it’s a really funny one and relatively easy to make.

You just need a gift wrapped box with a ribbon and a tag that can fit over you. Make a hole at the top and bottom of the box so you can wear the box.

On the tag you can simply write “To: Women From: God”

OR if you simply want to buy the costume you can go here: http://www.wackyplanet.com/cos-gods-gift-women-adult.html

5. One Night Stand

This one is classic! Put a lamp shade on your head and .. well I don’t know how to make a night stand, you may have to get the costume, unless you have amazing drawing or painting skills.

You could even print out a photo of a night stand from kinkos and glue it on a poster board!

That could turn out to be pretty ghetto if you don’t do it right so you may want to go here to buy the actual costume: http://www.wackyplanet.com/pe-300445.html

Model Diaries: Lakshmi Menon

October 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I love the way she speaks. She has a lot of command and grace in her voice.

It’s great to know that she finished her education and waited till she was older to get back into modeling and still made it big in an industry where generally you are considered old when you hit 20.

Makes me feel great about myself :P

A Tribute to the Iconic Style of the King of Pop: Michael Jackson

June 27, 2009 · 2 Comments

Not only did he produce hits that were larger than life, but also influenced millions of young children and adults with his unique sense of style that truly made him an icon.

He in fact was the “Man in the Mirror”, because every child, woman and man saw or wanted to see Michael in them, when they looked in the mirror.

For me his style choices always communicated a sense of child-like courage, regalness, rebeliousness, responsibility and in some ways almost a bitter sense of being a show man to the world and suppressing his own desires.

Everything he did became a movement in itself. Below are some of his iconic looks that really made Michael Jackson a style icon and drove the masses crazy.

Mumbai: The World’s 22nd Top Fashion City, Under Attack.

December 1, 2008 · 1 Comment

The past few days, the news has been filled with coverage of Mumbai and the deadly attacks by gunmen and bomb blasts.

Hundreds of innocent people dead with no solid evidence of who is responsible. Fingers are being pointed to the most expected (understandable but not necessarily justified) directions.

Again the world feels the same restlessness that it felt during 9/11 or any other terrorists attack. The people of the world are anticipating a solution before any reactions come about that may impact the lives of thousands around the world.

Months prior to this situation, progress was being made by numerous artists, entertainers, fashion designers and other talent of Mumbai & Karachi (the two fashion centers of the South Asian subcontinent) collaborating on various projects to produce quality work.

It is sad to see how incidents such as this not only take innocent lives but also take us many step backwards on all the positive efforts by both the sides.

We must all hang tight together and not let this incident plant the seed of negativity and hate (as it aimed to) and keep on working towards the goal of peace between the two nations and the rest of the world.
