Pinocchio and Geppetto, $60
‘Here’s my son Rhett as Geppetto and Pinocchio. Don’t be confused, this is a one person costume featuring Rhett as Pinocchio’s top half and Geppetto’s bottom half. Geppetto’s torso was created out of a block of Styrofoam packed into a backpack and then fitted with a long sleeve shirt and yellow dishwashing gloves painted in peach for his hands. His head was simple – a Styrofoam wig holder with a Regis Feldman mask and a few added features like the mustache and white hair which we made using fun fur. Pinocchio’s overall straps are actually the back pack straps, then Pinocchio’s body is attached to that. In order to transition it all together we handmade a huge apron with paint splattered on it. Geppetto’s legs are actually Rhett’s legs.’ — Gail M., League City, Texas

Leather Hawk Mask, €99.10 (only 1 available)
‘Become a bird of vision and power, a messenger and protector to those that see you on your next outing. Hawks are attributed with keen sight and with being a catalyst to greater creative energy and spiritual vision. The hawk has become an important symbol for me, hence my shop name, the Hawk & Deer. For me, the hawk is a representation of strength, courage in new endeavors, and new perspectives. This mask has individually defined leather feathers framing the face, and an attached shiny leather beak. Each stage of the process is hand done – the design, cutting, forming, painting, carving and finishing. Each mask has its own unique characteristics as a result of the organic nature of leather. The leather guides where the mask will go and what it will become. These pieces revel in the unique qualities of leather, the art of carving and painting.’ — Hawk & Deer

Jimmy Savile, £14.99
‘Amazon has withdrawn from sale a Jimmy Savile Halloween costume after the fright-night uniform shocked shoppers.

Viewers were shown a version of “Britain’s worst paedophile” dressed in his trademark tracksuit and medallion, complete with blood dripping from his mouth and death mask white face paint. An oversized cigar was also provided with the £14.99 outfit – drawing additional criticism on the grounds that it would encourage children to start smoking.’ — ibtimes.co.uk

Mutated Cannibal, nfs
‘The face took 7 hours to make and the dress took about an hour. The dress was cut up, made to look dirty and liquid latex on it. I also added fake blood to the dress to make it look like I had ate/killed another mutant. The face is all latex (not a mask) with make-up on it to match my skin. There is also fake blood on it and “sores” on my face, chest, arms, shoulders, and back. We mixed liquid latex and lotion to give the sores a “puss” look. The lotion turns to a yellow color when it sits for a while which is perfect for “sores”. I made my hair look as messy as possible with only hair spray. I wore this out to a Halloween bash on Saturday night and I was not able to see out of one eye and I could only fit a straw in my mouth.’ — Kim

Suicide Bomber, nfs
‘Well there’s not to much explaining to do besides for the how-to. The costume is pretty straight forward. But be warned you can possibly get in trouble in some areas and around some people. I never had a single issue but I cant say that goes for you too. Supplies: Outfit: Tactical vest, camo pants, black t-shirt, black beanie, black hair dye and the head band. The vests are easy to find on craigslist, airsoft forums/stores and local army surplus stores. The head band was simply made by green fabric held together with iron on glue strips. Walmart has them. Suicide Bomb belt: Styro Foam blocks, colored wire, red duct tape, black electrical tape, zip ties, hair pins and some type of harness. The explosives: Christmas light bulbs, electrical tape, a candle, little cup of water, hand held bush trimmers or any type of smooth sliding pliers with two sharp blades near the pivot point. The little snip snip rose garden cutters works better tho. The fire crackers you will need are the cheap ones with the grey wicks. The green wicks really don’t ignite well from the light bulb. 1. Cut the Christmas lights in 2’s, 3’s, 4’s or what ever amount you want. I like 2 bulbs per strand. Snip the ends so the wire is showing. Twist it tight. 2. Light the candle. Place the very tip right over the flame so its just barely touching. It should take 3-5 seconds to get black. Once it turns black dip it in the water then right after snip the very tip of the bulb off. If you hold the cutters on the very tip and slide them back to the main body you can feel the edge. The goal is to expose the filament and not breaking the wire between the little probes in the bulb. Practice makes perfect. 3. Cut the wicks of the fire crackers shorter so it just stays around the filament. You don’t want it to bunch up. Then gently tape it up. Don’t put a lot of tape on the firecracker because then the nature of the explosion will be different. Detonator: Spice jar, 2 9volt connectors, momentary push button switch, wire, tape, and a hook. 1. Wrap the jar in black tape and make some type of hook so you don’t have to hold it all the time. 2. Hook the two 9 volt connectors red to red, black to black so you get 18volts. 3. Drill a hole in the lid to place the button. 4. Run the red 9volt wire to one side of the push button, the black wire to a longer wire that will reach to the bomber belt and get another long wire and connect it to the other side of the push button. On the ends of the long wires attach alligator clips. 5. Stuff all the wires in the jar. Once you attach the alligator clips to the firecrackers it will only take a second for the 18volts to cook the filament. Once that burns it ignite the wick and make costume magic.’ — Coolest Homemade Costumes

p.s. RIP Annette Michelson, Paul Virilio. ** Corey Heiferman, Hi. Oh, that’s cool: you recording you reading it. Huh. I think those new Paris urinals have already been removed. That’s what I read. The fact that they were male-only caused a big outcry here, and I think that problem, plus other unknown factors, led to their swift demise, I’m told. That flight simulator game thing does look very curious. Thank you, man. I’ll check it. Totally understandable about your idea of pure devotion to Hebrew. You had me at Bresson, ha ha. Mm, I think the zealot is pretty strong in me. I’d have to ask bystanders, but I think it’s pretty firm. Great day to you. ** Sypha, Hi, James. I’ve seen at least some of your FB reports on SHENMUE, and I’m ever more interested and yet wary to get it, fearing that interest’s pull. Dennis Potter is pretty great, yeah. I’d like to revisit his stuff. ** Damien Ark, Hi, D! Glad you’re feeling better, and so sorry you had that two week suffering bout. No, I’m not going to Japan next month. I don’t get to tour with the shows. I’m one too many bits of expensive baggage, and I’m the first thing to get cut. I’m used to it, and, yeah, I’m not needed. But Zac and I are determined to get to Japan before winter is over, in December or maybe January. Good to see you! ** Steve Erickson, I missed that Simon Reynolds piece, but I’ll head to it today. The film of Christophe’s that I acted in — ‘Man au Bain’/’Man at Bath’ — was quite a few films ago for him. I play a guy who lives in the Paris suburbs and collects art and had been paying a character played by Francois Sagat for sex regularly but who now has a new boy I pay for sex, and my big scene involves me rejecting Francois’s character’s sexual advances rather meanly. I hope I don’t jinx it on my end by wishing you the very best of luck with the exciting sounding film programming project. ** Chris Cochrane, Hi, Chris! Thanks, yeah, it’s interesting to have my head, or part of it, back in my dormant novel. Now if I can only find time to actually work on it. Thank you again about ‘PGL’. I’m over the bad news, thanks. I’m luckily someone whose gloomy moods pass quickly. Your tooth! That was nuts! I’m glad it’s getting repaired, and hopefully not at too daunting an expense. Want to see the Spike Lee. I hope I didn’t miss its theater run here. I’ll give Zac your best, and he will no doubt return your greeting. THEM forward movement would be awesome, of course. Hm, shit, I don’t in fact remember the title of that Bolano book. I just checked my bookshelves, and it’s not there, which means it’s probably in LA, so, no, very sorry. Take good care, pal. ** Jamie, Good morning to you! I’m fairly good, thank you, and you? Mm, you would think the Artaud event was recorded, especially given that it was so spectacle-oriented, and it probably was, but I don’t remember seeing any cameras filming it. Hm. Sub-Suicide is a lure. I’ll tiptoe into their stuff with your caveat in mind. No, the bad news wasn’t horribly bad, and we’ve had some fairly good news since, so I’m back in my Optimist costume. Tuesday was kind of uneventful, I think. Work and emails. Pre-TV show meeting (tomorrow) prep/steeling. Not a lot. Ha ha, I was obsessively in love with the 60s Batman TV series as a teen, so thank you. May your Wednesday be as ‘good’ as a similarly timed, much derided but beloved (by me) 60s TV series whose premise was that the main character’s mother was reincarnated as a car and whose opening credits went like this. Gabba tempo love, Dennis. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Oh, right, that booklet. Ultimately it’s fine and no big, but it is a little strange that the powers that be asked for writing from us that was supposedly intended only for the event’s program but that is now a book being sold separately. But whatever. Enjoy if you can. ** Nik, Hi, Nik. Oh, right, rights’ issues re: filming. iPhone at least maybe? That makes sense and is interesting about the transition into writer identity and how that freed up your interest in performing. Yeah, understood. Let me add my crossed fingers, should they be needed, for your story. How was it received? Me: I’m trying to work on some boring but necessary proposal documents re: funding Zac’s and my new film because, after the ARTE meeting tomorrow, I imagine I will be unhappily stuck laboring over that script revision for the next long time. Bon chance! ** JM, KS is someone to definitely taste and see what happens. Yeah, honestly, I’m just dead tired of talking or thinking about the JT Leroy thing. It was an obnoxious little blip in my personal life that’s being given this grotesque zombie afterlife by all these documentaries and films and stuff. The JT thing had no effect on my writing whatsoever. My first boyfriend when I was 17 was a street prostitute, as were a number of my friends, and the JT persona and bullshit brought nothing new whatsoever to me about that subject. So, yeah, there are no references to him or clues or hidden impact from that prank in my work at all. Try Franzen if you want. I did. I thought it was just one of the epitomes of your basic writing school cookie-cutter fiction gussied up with a bunch of faux literary affect and hand-me-down post-modern tropey structural overlays. So, yeah, ha ha. Day of days to you. ** Right. I decided to bring back this old, once-dead, now-re-living Halloween post because … I don’t know … it caught my eye? See you tomorrow.
