Haliween Hali-Style

At a loss for what to dress up as this Halloween?

October 25, 2014 /

At a loss for what to dress up as this Halloween? Kitten ears and eyeliner just not cutting it this year? Why not make it a Haliween and dress up as a homage to your beautiful city. Here are a few suggestions we thought of to get your Haligonian groove on:

1. Forever a classic: grab some boxes and fashion yourself a Halifax Metro Transit Bus costume. Make sure to tell everyone exactly what time you’re showing up at the party and then be 30 minutes late.

2. Student Debt: simply dress normal, since you have no money for something you’re only going to wear once, spill beer on, then leave at the bottom of your closet for the next two years.

3. Crank up the sex appeal and be a lobster. Lobsters are iconically Nova Scotian and they’re red, and red means HOT! Slather yourself in butter for extra points.

4. If dressing up as something scary during Halloween is more your thing, why not go as your tab at the end of the night from Stillwell. Haunting!

5. Dress up as a frequent customer of The Dome! Downside: if you actually end up at The Dome everyone might give you slack for not wearing a costume.

6. Looking for a couple’s costume?

Grab a friend and go as Halifax and Dartmouth: Both dress as homeless people, but one of you carries an iPhone and sports some fancy loafers. Optional: connect yourself with a bridge.
