freaky fashion - the conventional

when it comes to halloween fashion, there are the conventions too, the safe outfits (think the fashion world's little black dress). when you don these outfits, people automatically know you are heading to a halloween event and not some themed costume party (although the two have been blurred in recent years). what i did is to group these costumes for easy selection.

the conventional scary

vampires, zombies, devils, mummies, dolls that come alive (think chucky!)... these are the ones who appear at halloween parties every year. strangely, no one really gets sick of them. perhaps they only appear once a year (much like santa) hence people are more than glad to see them and pose with them for pictures. 



Kate Beckinsale as the devil

therefore, if you turn up in a conventional scary outfit, expect some pictures but not too much.

the conventional silly

what constitutes the conventional silly? costumes that get you asking, 'which level of hell did that come from?' when you look at the conventional silly, you know they are hoping that you would laugh with them but unfortunately, you end up laughing at them. either the costume is totally whacked or the person deserves to be whacked! 
like seriously, which person in their right frame of mind turns up at a halloween party as a USED sanitary napkin? how is anyone supposed to have decent conversations with something that has been down... there!

talking about down there, the toilet bowl deals with a whole load of crap, we don't need any further public displays. thank you very much. if you went 'so cute' at the picture, you need to be flushed down the pipes too cos that was plain cruelty. would people take pics? you're sure that they would, only because they will need to hold you ransom someday.

if you were planning to go with something totally different, out of this world, a trend setter... remember these wise words: DON'T!

the conventional smash-hit

this has everything to do with what is the biggest movie in the box office or what is in the trends. just think back the last few years when there was potter-mania, twilight fever (the number of edwards, jacobs and bellas) and even x-men. for the conventional smash-hit, when you dress up, you are probably expecting a lot of photo moments and everyone will be raving over you but when you turn up at the party, you will have the sad realisation that your halloween mother actually gave birth to a dozen of you. you will be unique, just like everyone else.

before and after

keeping in the spirit of all things children... this post will be dedicated to how some big names in the fashion world looked while they were still children... so let's start the ball rolling...


any guesses to who this little boy grew up to be? the answer will be revealed at the end of the post... but here are more faces that continually impact the fashion world...


our covergirl! need i say more? i loved watching ellen while i was growing up. i didn't understand many of her jokes but i'm so happy for her... she's like the best friend that everyone would love to have growing up... if you missed her covergirl commerial, click here...


yes, yes, her songs are great... her acting is brilliant... her mark on the fashion industry, other than being stunning on the red carpet? beyonce has her clothing line, yo! it's the house of dereon!


liz hurley (or elizabeth hurley)... associated with estee launder for over fifteen years... imagine that! on top of that, she was the face for a host of other brands... liz hurley now owns her own line, elizabeth hurley beach...


it's jenny from the block... jennifer lopez (sidenote: i love dance again!!!) long story short, show stopper on the red carpet and at events... well, in the fashion world, she has her own lifestyle brand.


last but not least, paris hilton... rich, beautiful and oh-so-perfect (okay, maybe not perfect but i actually like her...) her estimated net worth as of 2012 is $100 million... a fashion line may not be her thing but bags are...

finally who was the boy i shown much earlier? this is he...

Karl Lagerfeld
enjoy the chanel spring summer 2013 show...


big thank you to the chobble for all the images (except the karl lagerfeld ones)!

fash'on... BAM!

pageant children

so we've featured children who design and model... so what's the third part of today's feature on children? well, it's going to be about children in pageants. i love children, i love dress up (not literally, dresses...) i'm just not so sure about the two going together...


i have issues with children (especially young girls) slapping on a ton of make-up prematurely... yes, some of them claim that they like it but i always wonder when children should actually put on make-up. well, yes, if they go on stage to perform, sing, dance, act... but getting children into the world of pageants? i have my doubts...

Alana Thompson aka Honey Boo Boo

great that we want to show our children to the world... but perhaps, less pom in the hair, easier on the eyeshadow and lip colour? if i wear to judge a pageant with children, i'll definitely abide by the slogan of CoverGirl... easy, breezy, CoverGirl!


fash'on... BAM!
