Halloween is my favorite holiday. It is Mardi Gras’ little kid brother plus Gay Christmas rolled into one. Themed parties and booze and costumes, what’s not to love?
To paraphrase Mean Girls, “Halloween is the one night a year when guys can dress like a total slut and no other guys can say anything about it.”
The best part is definitely choosing a costume. You want to put a lot of thought into your costume, because it makes a statement about the kind of person you are, and a good costume lends itself to effortless flirting.
- Dress up as an angel to portray innocence and purity—or as a fallen angel if you want to be a little risqué. As an easy variation, you could go as Cupid and ask hotties if they believe in love at first sight.
- Going as a devil invites the obvious “horny” innuendo. But sinners have all the fun, right?
- Couples might consider matching costumes. Perhaps a cowboy and Indian or cop and robber? It’s cute without being saccharine. I’ve even heard of partners going as the Ambiguously Gay Duo from SNL, Ace and Gary.
- An old standby is any profession with a recognized uniform. As a fireman, you get to ask, “Wanna slide down my fireman’s pole?” Policemen can play with handcuffs. Doctors get to perform physical examinations and deliver the line “Open up and say ‘Aaaaah!’” And sailors can make jokes about sea-men.
- If you’re not one for subtlety, you could always wear a noose around your neck.
- I think my all-time favorite Halloween costume is the classic vampire. They’re dark and sexy. And if you go as a vampire, you can get away with biting guys playfully on the neck, but I’d be careful with that one—after all, once bitten, twice shy.
