Yowazzup: A Directory of Happening Things

Halloween is less than three weeks away. Most folks would have gotten their Halloween costumes by now, but yet, many are still pondering what’s the in-season costumes for 2009.

The easiest way to pick your Halloween costume is by looking at the summer blockbusters for the year. Let’s see, we have “Transformers 2″, “Star Trek”, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and not forgetting “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. Now, Transformers may be a cool movie but dressing up like Bumblebee or Optimus Prime is not cool at all, especially for adults. Dressing up like Spock in Star Trek in the meantime is only cool if you’re a “Trekkie”. What about “Harry Potter”? The first “Harry Potter” movie was released nearly 8 years ago, so it’s not happening anymore.

So, what’s hot?

Let’s see, after generations and generations of vampire movies, we are still getting plenty of those now. The second season of “True Blood” was just over. And in a month time, the sequel to “Twilight”, namely “New Moon” will be released in the cinema. So, you won’t go wrong with being a vampire whether your lover is Sookie Stackhouse or Edward Cullen.

Here are the list of things you’ll need if you plan to dress up as a vampire: -

1. Vampire Fangs

$14.99 from Amazon

2. Vampire Makeup Kit

$19.00 from Amazon

That’s about all you need as nowadays, unlike the ancient vampires, the modern vampires wear T-shirt and jeans just like the rest of us. The total cost? Around $30 bucks for your 2009 Halloween costume.

However, if you have the extra cash, you can still get the gothic vampire dress for the women and the vampire cape for the men.

For me, I’ll just get this cool vampire bites tattoos and my 2009 Halloween Costume is… “Fang banger”. Oh yeah. Will only cost me $2.70.

And no, I’ll not play Lafayette, the fang banger. Jessica Hamby is my favorite vampire, get it?

Ghost? Zombie? Nixon? Man, these costumes are old news. This Halloween, why not dress up as something from the geek universe? Christopher Null from Yahoo! Tech suggested the following:

Sony Laptop Battery Pack – What you need: Rectangular piece of cardboard or foam, black paint, a lit cigarette (to simulate the smoking effect). Bonus points for carrying those little poppers that explode when you step on them.

Sony Rootkit-Infected CD – Large circle of cardboard covered in aluminum foil, evil laugh. (Just as scary as the battery.)

LonelyGirl15 (pictured) – What you need: T-shirt or tank top, pony tail scrunchy, tweezers (to pluck eyebrows immaculately), age-diminishing cream, Aliester Crowley books, feather boa, purple monkey puppet, general sense of rebellion and ennui about life.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs – Black turtleneck, blue jeans, iPod, glasses, smug grin.

Firefox – What you need: Fox outfit, lighter fluid, match, sense of irony, fireproofness, legion of geek followers.

The TRON Guy – Awesome TRON bodysuit, pot belly, no sense of shame.

Former HP Chairman of the Board Patricia Dunn – Liza Minnelli haircut, expensive women’s suit, reporter’s telephone records that you have no idea how you got, pink slip.
