apparently this is a thing in Japan too, and it gets translated as “Mundane Halloween.” There are so many photos online and they’re all so good?????

“Person going to work on a windy day"



“Woman who’s having her bangs cut but the hairdresser is nowhere to be found"


"Zookeeper in charge of the pandas"

"Influencers taking selfies at a gym"



"Starbucks barista working her ass off on Halloween but gotta keep up that smile"


"Person who sits on wet paint"


"Person who's still loading"



"Boyfriend carrying girlfriend's shopping bags"


The possibilities are endless, LOL!

These are actually some of the best I’ve seen. I wonder if Mesón Salvador is hosting a Halloween dinner this year. I may change the way I think about costumes. Really clever! I’ve seen performance artists at a local fair doing the businessmen caught in wind bit. Throw money in their briefcase and they change the pose.

What year are these from? Almost no one has a mask! --Jim

These are great. Now I see myself going as old woman trudging through grass collecting nuts. Old lady staggering about trying to balance while looking at the beautiful sky. Possibilities are endless.

@ Parnassus (Jim) -- You're right, these shots must all be from pre-pandemic parties.

My feeling on a costume is that if you have to explain what you are, it is not much of a costume. This is like lazy teenagers on Halloween who show up at my door dressed as themselves. Some of these folks put a little more thought into their outfit like the wet paint, the thermal infrared camera, and the panda doctor.

Marie Smith said...

Clever. Love these!

Mistress Maddie said...

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanna be the "person still in bed".

Busy Bee Suz said...

These are hilarios. The panda one was too cute!

mshatch said...

Still Loading gets my vote.

Mike said...

Hahahahahah... You just gave Lady M a heart attack. I think there's going to be a spell cast upon you soon. :)

Bob said...

These are what I would do for Halloween.
They are all hilarious.

Guillaume said...

I love the one with the pandas.

Bill Lisleman said...

Thanks I had not heard of this. Great ideas and mostly simple too.

I've seen two costumes that would fit right in with these: Man who ignored the party guidelines and didn't dress up, and, a woman who wore a mylar mirror and came as whomever was looking at her.
I like the 'still loading' one best.

Debi said...

Have you been spying on my neighborhood from Google search? You missed me, hobbit size old crone dressed in black with matching mask, completely invisible!

The Blog Fodder said...

Great ideas. But no Halloween in Ukraine...yet

Tundra Bunny said...

While the idea of "Mundane Costumes" is fun, I must agree with Lady M that good costumes don't require an explanation. I liked the Panda Nurse and the Infrared Image though!

The best mundane costume I've ever seen was a dog in a hotdog costume accompanied by 3 little kids dressed up as Heinz ketchup, mustard and relish packets! Each kid wore red, green or yellow leotards and toques with their sandwich-board style packets, LOL!

This year I'm going as Captain America and my love will be Peggy Carter.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Adam -- I hope you post a photo on your blog! I'd LOVE to see your costumes!

Pandas!

Katrina said...

I think these are really clever! I like the 'woman having her bangs cut'!

Joanne Noragon said...

I have been in costume for sixty five years. It must need cleaning by now.

G. B. Miller said...

Now those are funny.

I think what would be funnier is my 20 year old daughter dressing abnormally, that is business casual, instead of what she actually dresses in.

Rain said...

I love the sitting on paint one! These are definitely different!

Ol'Buzzard said...

This year I am dressing as the invisible man.

Mica said...

The still loading one made me giggle, and I really liked the panda one, that would be a fun costume to wear! :)

Hope you are having a lovely weekend :) We have had a fun one with a couple of events.
