Reine #27: What Your Halloween Costume Says About You

Against a peach background, a cartoon description of nine different Halloween costumes and what they say about you: Werewolf (troublemaker, not the designate driver), Witch (practical, this isn't really a costume for you), Vampire (oblivious top, leaves party early to another party), Vampire Hunter (long suffering, designated driver), Superhero (mask under mask, handing out candy), Ghost (futch, TikTok Micro Celeb) A Skeleton (Nerd, You're getting body paint on everything and everyone), Cowboy (horse girl, this also isn't a costume for you), Straight Couple (it's camp, you're so funny actually)

  1. Hah, the witch is spot on. It’s not a costume for me, not because I identify as a witch but because I have a closet full of black clothes. More than 25 years ago I made myself a kick ass witches hat out of black silk and chiffon with the idea that I could be a different kind of witch every year and you know what? I was right!

  2. When I read “Horsegirl” I was confused for half a second, as the first thing that brought to mind was “secretly a furry”.

  3. I did a witch costume last night, but it was the kind of witch with a low battery shirt and a bird worm demon strapped to her back. It was 100% a costume for me.

  4. completely destroyed by the witch/cowboy one two punch, congrats on ending my life and exposing my entire wardrobe to the universe I guess
