Note: A previous version of this article neglected to include Annie Warner’s fucking kickass costumes. She gets to go first now, because of how sorry I am.
Are you tired of Halloween posts yet? Yes? Too bad! You’re about to see what the motherfucking Rib Ladies wore last weekend, and you know what? You’re gonna like it.
Annie Warner decided to make everyone else on campus feel bad by having THREE actually-decent costumes (Marty McFly, Luna Lovegood, and Thelma from Thelma and Louise). No news yet on how completely trashed the cardboard car from the last one got after being crumpled and spilled on at various parties, but my guess is that it didn’t fare much better than the car from the movie itself.
“WHAT TEAM?!” —Daniella
Okay, I totally appreciate the cultural reference, and D.B., your pose is on point, but if you’re going to be someone from high school musical for Halloween, you absolutely HAVE to be one of these two:
They’re the best vaguely incestuous singing power couple since Riff Raff and Magenta!
“Fun Fact: I specifically asked for this Batman Onesie for my 17th birthday.” —Chloe
“I am the cellphone from Hotling Bling, a.k.a. an old-school brick decked out in glitter with Drake’s old self calling. (Aubrey Graham is his real name, look it up. #degrassi never forgets.)” —Caitlin
Abby was the rainbow Snapchat filter, and also evidently more talented with makeup than I’ll ever be with anything. She doesn’t even actually have a Snapchat, though, so we can all take consolation in the fact that she’s a huge poser.
(Interesting coincidence: this costume actually looks exactly how I did on Halloween! Yeah! It’s because I ate too many Skittles and threw up.)
Allie G was… wait for it… one of the literal spice girls.
Yuri was Hugh Hefner because she hates feminism.
Kayla dressed up as herself as a baby dressed up as an eggplant.
I think there’s probably something Freudian going on here, but we’re just going to leave it alone.
Francesca was Charlie Brown’s ghost costume. Given that she wrote an entire article about lazy Halloween costumes, this was actually more effort than I expected from her. Congratulations, Francesca! You did slightly above the minimum!
Ali M, a.k.a. yours truly, was a Manic Pixie Dream Girl for Halloween, complete with flower crown (from frolicking through meadows), otter purse (from breaking into the zoo late at night), ruffled umbrella (from dancing in the rain), and socks over tights, because I definitely needed to look weirder. Unfortunately, I never came across anyone dressed as a brooding male protagonist who needed his outlook on the world revitalized.
Nicole (feat. me on the left) was Minnie Mouse for the second year in a row, because Halloween stresses her out and stasis is comforting.
“Two naked Sims + one naked Sim who has inexplicably been playing chess for 8 hours and really has to use the bathroom.” —Sarah & Friends
Sarah and her friends actually placed in the BlogDailyHerald Halloween costume contest, which they deserved not only because of their creativity, but also because they had to put up with idiot frat boys giggling at their fake nudity all night.
“Studying abroad changes you in ways you’d currently find unimaginable.” —Hannah
“I was a greaser! This photo does NOT show me smoking a lit cigarette indoors (ahem)!” —Monika
There you have it, folks! Proof of how witty, cute, and conscious of fire safety all of us Rib ladies are in real life. Don’t you wish Halloween happened more than once a year?
