Now we’re on to Easter bonnets. Sadly, due to the Coronavirus outbreak, you won’t be able to see any Easter parade in New York City or in your hometown. Thus, we’ll all be deprived all those wonderfully ridiculous hats. Of course, a lot of Easter events have been canceled all the way up to the Vatican as we await to flatten the curve in our homes. Still, that doesn’t mean we can’t have any fun. We’ll just have to look at older pictures of ridiculous Easter bonnets through previous years. So for your reading pleasure I give you another assortment of wonderfully weird Easter bonnets. Enjoy.

Someone’s adequately practicing social distancing.

Mostly because her hat’s so huge that you can’t really get under it. Contains flowers and butterflies.

2. Want a bird’s nest in your hair?

Well, it’s a small nest with eggs. And I’m sure birds didn’t make it. Or she’d be in very deep shit.

3. Her hat’s all stringy.

Since it’s made of plastic tubes. You’d also see a few ladybugs.

4. How about one with a bunny basket?

Okay, the basket is made out of foam with eggs inside. Though you have to like the grass brim.

5. These birds enjoy their new tree house.

This one has a lot of pom pom chicks all over it. So adorable.

6. How high can you go?

This one has tiers of Easter. Got to add some chicks and eggs for good measure, too.

26. You can always use a blue rose.

Actually they seem to resemble very long floppy rabbit ears. And yes, they look really strange with the flowers.

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree at the Ugly Sweater Party (Sixth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 19, 2019

Now we get to the ugly Christmas sweaters. What was once the bane of every holiday wardrobe has now become a must-have item for the annual office party. Sure, there may be the traditional fare like Santas, gingerbread men, wreaths, reindeer, Christmas trees, and more. But you’d also see plenty of pop culture stuff and other things. You might see ones for Star Wars, Star Trek, TV shows, movies, and some weird things like sloths, unicorns, and tacos. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of ugly Christmas sweaters. Some may not be safe for work or your family during the holidays. Enjoy.

Go ahead, put that tongue on the flag pole.

But you’ll have to call 911 if your tongue sticks on a snowy day. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

2. This Christmas, just let it dough with the Pillsbury Doughboy.

Great to wear when making Christmas cookies. Like the row of croissants.

3. You’d be all lit for Christmas in this sweater.

2e1a2848bbbce7c97bb14733c57151b0--tacky-christmas-christmas-outfits

Though I’m sure it comes with a battery pack. Santa and Frosty seem to delight in it.

4. Drink up this holiday season.

This sweater states, “Shut Up and Drink” in gold tinsel. And yes, there’s a beer can in holly.

5. “Fra-jee–lay. Must be Italian.”

This is a leg lamp sweater. And yes, there are leg lamps from top to bottom. Hilarious.

6. Don’t be a grumpy cat this Christmas.

Okay, this isn’t Grumpy Cat. But the cat doesn’t seem enthusiastic in a Santa hat.

7. Even sharks can get into the holiday spirit.

Though I doubt they’d wear sweaters under the sea. One even has a present in its mouth.

8. Someone’s got blue balls this year.

Well, frosty balls, anyway. Still, guys, please don’t wear this in front of your relatives.

9. Santa’s shown his crack.

And it seems like he’s wearing a thong while leaving presents. Seriously, shouldn’t he wear something more comfortable? Spending that night sitting on his sleigh must make him sore.

10. This guy’s all decked for the holidays.

If you don’t have a tree in your office, you can have Gary wear this sweater. And yes, it’s mostly in green tinsel with ornaments.

11. Are all these black cats looking at me?

This sweater has all of them wearing Santa hats. Perfect for your local crazy cat lady.

12. Apparently, Santa’s a rather horny man.

Okay, considering it’s a black Santa saying “Hoes, Hoes, Hoes,” there’s some terrible racial stereotyping. Also kind of looks pretty pervy if you ask me.

13. The Scranton Dunder Mifflin office doesn’t always hold the best parties.

This is from The Office. Michael wears a Santa hat. Dwight wears an elf one behind the Christmas tree.

14. Substitute Teacher’s not messing around.

He’s from Key & Peele. He’s an inner city school teacher at a white school who mispronounces his students’ names. It’s funny.

15. This guy’s up for any reindeer action.

Except that reindeer don’t have horns. They have antlers that fall off after mating season. At least along the males.

16. Nike even has ugly Christmas sneakers.

Normal tennis shoes are a must have. Ugly Christmas tennis shoes are a waste of money. Since you only wear them once a year.

17. May your Christmas be merry and Dwight.

And yes, I mean Dwight from The Office. Beware of beet presents and bears at Schrute Farms.

18. Even dogs can enjoy the ugly Christmas sweater trend.

The dog wears a reindeer one with glasses. And no it doesn’t seem happy about it at all.

19. The Abominable Snowman holds up the mistletoe.

Wonder what kind of abominable snow lady’s he’s looking to kiss under it. Might want to try Nepal.

20. Those into slasher horror will want this sweater for the holidays.

Sure, they don’t have much to do with Christmas. Includes Freddie, Jason, Mike Myers, and Leatherface.

21. Perhaps you can decorate your own holiday sweater.

This one depicts snow, lights, and snowflakes with stuff you find at a craft store. Not sure if the sweater’s home made though.

22. Get lit wearing this Christmas tree shirt.

And yes, this one really lights up. Comes with candy cane striped sleeves, too.

23. Make your holidays a colorful rainbow spectacle.

Features a rainbow Christmas tree in shiny beads. Love the golden star on top.

24. A shiny penguin sweater will certainly suit you.

Well, the penguin’s wearing a Christmas tree tie. Decorated with fake poinsettias, ribbons, and tinsel.

25. Perhaps you’d like a Krampus Christmas sweater.

adult-3d-krampus-head-unisex-ugly-christmas-sweater-update1

The Krampus is plush. And he appears rather phallic. So better not wear it in front of the kids.

26. You can be a bit sloth this holiday season.

adult-sloth-ugly-christmas-sweater-update-main

Well, this is a sloth ugly Christmas sweater. Because sloths are cute with their eyes and sharp claws. This one wears a Santa hat.

27. Care to wear a little black dress?

This sweater dress is decorated with silver bows and tinsel on the cuffs and skirt. Snazzy isn’t it?

28. Green feathers always make a Christmas sweater haute couture.

c9f53d1ac0145ea7e02aa804fc9b7456--ugly-christmas-sweater-singing

Kind of makes her seem like the height of fashion. If she lived in Whoville.

29. Christmas Grizzly always knows how to party.

Because he knows when you need a cold one. Also, he’s supposed to be hibernating.

30. John Calvin doesn’t care much for Christmas.

Ironic he’s even on a sweater. Because didn’t he not celebrate it? After all, the Puritans didn’t and they were certainly influenced by his ideas.

31. Feel free to don an ugly Christmas skirt this holiday season.

After all, these ladies did. 2 have winter scenes. One has Santas.

32. Always got to dedicate Christmas to the birthday boy.

cd8c83fb-48f1-4bbb-ae32-8db01b47891e_1.578a9724f2a1b9c5b6aae08205b8128b

Here this ugly Christmas sweater features Jesus Christ, our Lord. Of course, you don’t want to know what his Easter sweater looks like. Also, he wasn’t treated better than Donald Trump.

33. Are you on the Nice List or the Naught List?

By the way, if you take green, you’re nice. If you take red, you’re naughty.

34. Yes, they have Christmas sweaters for couples.

These two have Christmas sweaters with each other’s pictures on them. Isn’t that sweet?

35. Ho, ho, ho, DJ Santa’s in the house.

Okay, I might want to leave the party right now. I can’t stand Christmas music. Seriously.

36. Tis the season for outlandish tackiness.

The guy here wears an atrocious elf costume. The woman wears a Christmas tree sweater dress. Not sure who’s tackier.

37. This Christmas, there’s something you must know.

This is based off a conspiracy theory questioning Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide. Still, the guy was a heinous sex criminal who deserved what he got. So can’t we appreciate that he’s dead?

38. It wouldn’t be Christmas without the Wet Bandits.

escaped-wet-bandits-ugly-christmas-sweater__26594.1456553836

Yes, they’re terrible criminals who you wouldn’t want lurking around your house. But after what Kevin McAllister does to them, I’m not sure whether to root for their doom or pity them.

39. Look, Santa Claus came in on his sleigh.

f76ed563a9a9c6ec97a5495c9ff11638--ugly-christmas-jumpers-christmas-clothes

Well, he’s dressed as Santa. And his sleigh’s featured on his Christmas sweater. Kind of crazy isn’t it?

40. Don’t forget to put on a pair of ugly Christmas heels.

Decorated with bows, gold tinsel, and bells. May jingle when you walk in them.

41. Everyone wants a Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich Christmas sweater this holiday season.

fa8736bd-70ba-46d3-9deb-cd5ca5d1b58f-Popeyes_christmas_sweater1

The Popeye’s chicken sandwich was a hot menu item this year. So much that many restaurants faced mass panic as soon as they ran out.

42. Bugs really don’t like this time of year.

Because it’s cold and many of them freeze and die. But they’ll come back in the spring. I guarantee it.

43. You might want to wear this hat to go with that leg lamp sweater.

fragile-leg-lamp-cuff-pom-beanie-274x293

Says, “Fragile” meant to denote the package’s contents. Or Donald Trump’s ego.

44. Who ya gonna call this Christmas?

ghostbusters-xmas-jumper-gs-01_800x.progressive

This one features the Ghostbusters logo in a standard Christmas wreath. like the rows of decor. So funny.

45. Look out, Trump Grinch is out to steal…..well, everything.

Says that his hands and heart were 2 sizes too small. You might say the same about his penis and capacity for humanity.

46. Forget reindeer. Santa’s got his sleigh pulled by pterodactyl.

GUEST_87a219bc-6aca-451b-886c-96ea0e31e617

Sure it may seem cool. But remember those prehistoric flyers have been extinct for around 65 million years. Sorry, kid.

47. She’s not a player. She just gets crushes a lot.

She means while she lusts in her heart, she doesn’t pursue other men. At least when at least one of them isn’t single.

48. Christmas sweater for 4?

I’m sure they’re wearing stuff underneath. Since you want your hands free and not be around the same 3 people all the time. So this is just for the photo op.

49. Someone’s dreaming of a Dwight Christmas.

I’m-Dreaming-of-a-Dwight-Christmas-Ugly-Sweater-3

Still, would you want Dwight to be at your Christmas party? Probably not since he’s really weird.

50. Let me introduce you to Frosty’s alcoholic cousin.

He’s Frothy the Snowman. A magical snowman with a penchant for beer.

51. Seek Yoda Claus, you do.

Wears Santa hat and robe he does. Carries candy cane everywhere, he does. Go all over you in a lightsaber duel, he will.

52. Don’t forget to get dressed in your best Christmas suit.

And this is certainly not one you’d wear for church. Seriously, people will get eye problems looking at it.

53. Let it glow with this reindeer.

Kohls_LetItGlow_ChristmasSweater-5bbf9abfc9e77c0051f164df

He’s even wearing sunglasses and a matching sweater, too. Like the lights on his antlers though.

54. This Christmas, Santa sleighs the zombies.

lapg_zombie_christmas_sweater__75352.1559444620

Because zombie elves are no match for the big man in the red suit. Do your worst, you brain-eating undead corpses.

55. With Donald Trump, Christmas trees are fake.

Still, even if artificial, this Christmas tree’s more real than Donald Trump’s business and political successes ever will be. At least the impeachment will stick on him for the rest of his life.

56. “Spank me, Santa! Spank me hard!”

Yeah, I know it’s dirty. But there are some people into it. Still, don’t wear this sweater at the family Christmas gathering.

57. Ever see Santa ride a shark before?

modcloth_mens_christmas_sweater_today_181115_cfab9e57ce8f645d9beab23b8eec843a.fit-720w

Probably not. But you’d never think Santa could hold a trident or breathe underwater either.

58. Work for Dunder Mifflin? You might want this sweater.

office-dunder_mifflin-ugly_xmas_sweater-image1_1200x630

It’s the paper company from The Office. There’s even paper clips on here.

59. Didn’t think Santa knew how to dunk.

pf-4e5733e8-df12-40f5-9b1e-01d38beffbd7--dunkingMAIN1024px

Here he plays some ball with Rudolph and an elf. And why’s the elf on a basketball team. He’s obviously too short.

60. Yes, there’s a short version for that suit.

Don’t know why anyone would wear one. Since it looks utterly ridiculous if you ask me.

SantaCon Costumes Are Coming to Town (Fifth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on December 17, 2019

Now we get to the Christmas outfits. Midway through the Christmas season is SantaCon, a day long public booze fest and orgy that could land a child in several years of therapy. Seriously, if kids see a bunch of drunk Santas around, they’ll have a lot of questions parents won’t be prepared to answer. Like how much does Santa drink? How’s his marriage to Mrs. Claus been lately? And what the hell was Santa doing with that elf in aisle 5 at Wal Mart? Then you have cops who dread this annual debauched Christmas tradition that has started in the States but now has spread worldwide. Now I don’t recommend people to dress up like a Santa, drink a shitload of booze, screw a snowman in public, and get a great Christmas mugshot at the local police station. In fact, you can’t since it was last Saturday. But I do encourage you to look at these SantaCon costumes.

These 3 elf ladies are watching you.

Though these women are rather naughty. Since they’ll be frolicking on the streets under the influence.

2. These women are insulated in their own snow globes.

2F4FB5CA00000578-3357431-image-a-18_1449953044359

These are made from plastic, by the way. Yet, they wear ugly sweaters underneath. One’s a Christmas tree. The other’s a snowman.

3. Gangsta Santas are coming to town.

One wears a suit with Christmas trees and wreaths. The other wears a Santa suit. Both have gold chains around their necks.

4. Let’s all hear it for the birthday boy.

This is a Jesus costume. Though it’s more appropriate for the Easter passion play. But you can’t revel in booze and orgies during that time.

5. Santas always love to party.

One guy wears a white clown wig. Also has chains over his Santa suit and green shirt.

6. Black fur always brings winter glamor.

Yet, the skirt is way too short. So if you wear it, put on some leggings as well.

7. She seems quite frosty, doesn’t she?

Once again, her skirt is too short. And I don’t think the socks will keep her warm either.

8. She takes Christmas in jest.

She wears a Santa jester hat and sunglasses. The sunglasses say, “Ho Ho Ho.”

9. She walks out in striped socks.

And she wears a short Santa dress with straps. Will obviously wear a coat at SantaCon, don’t you think?

10. This elf’s ready to please Santa.

Indeed, since her skirt’s awfully short. If it weren’t for the fake fur trim, she’d work as a stripper Peter Pan.

11. Mrs. Claus always knows what Santa wants.

She wears a long red dress and a lace cap. And yes, she knows all about her husband, doesn’t she?

12. She must be a flashy nutcracker soldier.

It’s pink, sparkly, and trimmed with fur. And I’m pretty sure it’s worn by a mannequin.

13. She’s looking for something naught this Christmas.

Since her outfit seems to resemble some kind of lingerie. Also includes Santa hat.

14. Don’t mess with these reindeer does.

They just wear makeup and antlers. All the rest is regular winter clothing.E

15. Even Mickey Mouse attends SantaCon.

He wears a Santa suit with his trademark shorts. Not sure how he keeps warm.

16. This elf is ready to party.

She wears a green outfit with hood and a green and red tulle skirt. Comes with matching red sunglasses.

17. Kids approach Santa and his gang in Hawaii.

55947-120515-santacon-bullock-21-165b2eb8

Well, this doesn’t seem too bad. Santa even wears shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, too.

18. She comes tight laced in her Santa suit.

Well, it’s more of a leotard. Hope her black pants can keep her warm through the Santa Con revelry.

Scary and Eerily Adorable DIY Halloween Costume Inspirations (Fifth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on October 29, 2019

Here I’m dressed in a sexy witch costume from stuff I found at Goodwill. I was supposed to wear it for a party. However, due to that fucking piece of shit Donald Trump’s visit to a natural gas conference, it was postponed to next week. But since I have to work, I couldn’t go. So now I’m just wearing it for the blog.

I know it’s quite late for costumes since some places already have had their trick-or-treating days. But since it’s usually among the last of my Halloween posts, I go ahead with it, anyway. Nonetheless, while costume stores like Spirit Halloween are filled with any costume your heart desires, some people prefer to make their own. And there are plenty Internet guides to do that. Hell, Goodwill even encourages it. After all, I did this costume above. Though I could only use it for this blog post. Party City also does as well. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of Halloween DIY costumes to inspire you. Enjoy.

1. The King of the North stands alongside the Mother of Dragons.

Unfortunately, this relationship didn’t end well at all. Because Jon had to kill Daenerys for inflicting mass slaughter upon King’s Landing.

Actually, “a girl is Arya Stark.” She’s supposed to be her when she’s being punished with blindness by the Faceless Men.

3. Feel free to spread your wings like a beautiful butterfly.

26-Best-Vintage-Halloween-Costumes-Inspiration11

For some mysterious reason, old vintage Halloween pictures seem to be a lot creepier for some reason. Maybe it’s the black and white photography. Maybe it’s how the costumes were made. Maybe it’s their conception of scary. I don’t know. Still, when you look at them, they’re bound to freak you out and give you nightmares for weeks to come. Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of nightmarish vintage Halloween costumes. Sweet dreams.

She’s all dressed in ready for the spiderweb ball.

26-Best-Vintage-Halloween-Costumes-Inspiration19

1.-MSS_577_B001_F013_I0i012-Halloween-1914

Man, I don’t think the guy dressed as a Native American would fly today. Also, some of the masks are quite terrifying.

Yet, I’m not exactly sure by the grin on her face. Also, that cat looks like it’s stuffed.

Okay, I don’t want to go in there. For all I know they could be cooking some of Hannibal Lecter’s best known recipes.

6. Even a ghostly skeleton seeks to pick up chicks.

Yes, she’s in a sexy bat costume. But her dress doesn’t make much sense to me, save for fanservice.

8. Perhaps buying your costume isn’t as great as it seems.

Yeah, the masks look kind creep thanks to black and white photography. Still, the one with the leopard print doesn’t seem to have a face.

You could never pull this kind of costume in PA. Mainly because the weather’s under 50 degrees by this point.

10. May I present to you the 19th century version of the Village People.

As you can see, they’re not exactly a lively bunch. In fact, they seem more likely to kill you in your sleep.

11. What a couple of babies.

33360e2a302dc923b36a3da2a6ca715a--creepy-vintage-vintage-halloween

Okay, these two look too big to be babies. Yet, their masks can just scare the living shit out of you.

12. You might fly with these Peter Pan costumes.

092519_vintage-disney-halloween-roundup-0-780x440-1569447014

These are actually really terrifying. And it really says a lot since Peter Pan is an incredibly creepy movie.

13. Here you see Spiderman and Batman hang out with Colonel Sanders.

What a way to show a good example to kids, superheroes. Of course, masked vigilantism doesn’t help either.

14. How about you hang near the car?

That duck mask is frightening. Then again, the chicken mask may even be scarier.

15. Hope the trick-or-treaters can make themselves comfortable.

Okay, those vintage costumes are actually scarier in color. Even in regards to Princess Aurora, Casper, and Snoopy.

16. These kids are just resting on the grass.

These masks are incredibly terrifying. Don’t look now, but I think these kids are devising ways to kill neighbors who don’t give them candy.

17. Have fun trick-or-treating, kids.

Apparently, someone managed to make Spiderman and the Lone Ranger scary. While the Wolf man seems kind of lame.

18. That’s an odd looking giraffe.

Since the giraffe is made out of paper. Still, wonder how the girl can see in it.

19. Beware of the chicken boy.

I don’t know why the kid just stick around transfixed on the chicken. When the girl should be running away screaming for her dear life.

20. These two are just walking the street on their Halloween haunt.

The witch seems like she’s wearing Groucho Marx glasses without the mustache. But it should be the ghost that really scares us.

21. You might want to get away from the monster behind you.

b657d599790422dd94e880663dbb139c--halloween-photos-vintage-halloween

That’s Frankenstein’s monster attacking that boy. And I’m sure the boy might need another pair of pants.

22. Sorry to crash a medieval plague doctors meeting.

Since they’re all wearing bird masks and cloaks. Still, if it was the 1300s, we’d wonder how many of them will be left next year.

23. You’d think this is an odd-looking bird.

Well, it’s a cardboard costume. But it kind of looks eerie in black and white photography.

24. Beware of the little red devil.

I’m sure this kid is all right. But the costume makes him seem like a little terror out of hell.

25. A mother sits with her strangely dressed children.

gallery-1508177568-gettyimages-550151771

Two of them are supposed to be dwarfs, I think. One’s a cowboy. And one’s the Monopoly Man. But all seem rather dead inside.

26. This woman just wears a dress, mask, and cone hat.

girl-in-a-halloween-costume-in-1928-ontario-canada-414x640

Wearing that, you’d think she was on her way to a cult meeting. But she has a pumpkin on her dress.

27. These four just hang around the front door.

But look at their masks and you don’t want them in your house. Seriously, they make Freddy Krueger look like a character on Sesame Street.

28. You wouldn’t want to run into this little clown at night.

Wonder if this is a childhood photo of Pennywise the Clown. I mean he had to be a child somehow.

29. Here a ghost emerges from the bushes.

Let’s hope he didn’t make it from some Klan robe. Because they were a thing back in the Gilded Age and 1920s.

30. This doesn’t seem like a fun Halloween party.

Consists of a scary clown and two very offensive stereotypes. For God’s sake it was the early 1900s. Times were really racist.

31. Well, this seems like a strange horse race.

Yes, you see people sharing horse costumes. One guy has very little legs like Lord Farquad.

32. Don’t hitch a ride with these masked men.

Since they’ll take you to an undisclosed location. Then they’ll kill you and rip you to pieces.

33. Who knows what this clown will do to these two women.

Yeah, I get that he’s wearing a tall hat. But I think after this picture was taken, the two women were never seen again.

34. The skull person is within the living room.

scary-vintage-halloween-creepy-costumes-114-57fc8e918e308__605

Indeed, they’re not scaring anyone. But in time, they will chase teenagers with a knife once it gets dark.

35. Each trick-or-treater shall receive a large pumpkin bag.

The devil and Raggedy Ann masks will haunt your dreams. The cat, not so much.

36. Sometimes a white mask is all you need.

Spooky_Styles_of_Halloween_Costumes_from_a_Century_Ago_(1)

She’s even on roller skates. That means she can go after you with a knife faster. Except on the stairs.

37. Are those kids or ventriloquist dummies?

stuffyoushouldknow-14-2013-09-vintage-halloween17

Well, they could be kids wearing masks. Yet, they don’t really seem very lifelike to me. Something’s off here.

38. The light’s quite misty, isn’t it?

stuffyoushouldknow-14-2013-09-vintage-halloween55

One of the revelers reminds me of an undead muppet. Another has a rather creepy clown face.

39. Apparently, someone’s fallen into a creepy cult ritual.

These women wear dresses with markings on them. But they must dance around two virgins before they sacrifice them to their blood hungry god.

40. A witch stands with her cat.

She seems rather lonely. Mostly because everyone’s frightened of her. And her cat’s plush, I think.

41. These two seem like a rather odd couple.

One wears a mask with make while looking dashing in a top hat and coat. The other wears a mask and a dress.

42. Here’s a friendly guy you’d meet in the park.

Kind of reminds me of the guy kicked off The Muppet Show. Since he often gave kids candy from his windowless van. Or so I heard.

43. Care to see the clown in the corner?

On second thought, I’ll pass on that one. Don’t want to be found near the river with an ax in my back.

44. Don’t you ever refuse to give these kids candy.

Because if you do, they will kill you. Even if you honestly ran out, they will still slay you. So please have candy ready for them.

45. Sandra finds romance on Planet of the Apes.

“Come to me, you damn dirty ape. Send me to your monkey bar sex dungeon.”

46. Don’t you dare cross this masked maid.

Mess with her and she’ll make sure you pay with your life. And she’ll make you pay.

47. You might enjoy this jolly clown.

Okay, this clown is terrifying. Avoid him like the plague if you value your life.

48. You’d swear you’ve seen these trick-or-treaters from space.

These costumes are quite frightening. Yet, the astronaut has to wear a rocket shaped mask for some reason.

49. “Come and play with us, Danny.”

Those princess masks are guaranteed to give you nightmares. Will certainly haunt your dreams.

50. Perhaps you might enjoy a couple of sisters.

One doesn’t pretend not to care. The other’s thinking about skinning the neighbor’s cat.

51. Make sure your stick matches your masks.

Though each one is just as scary. And the kids in the back certainly know it.

52. Looks like the Turnip ghost caused some scares.

wp-content2Fuploads2F20142F102FHalloween-costumes-1.jpg2Foriginal

The woman is freaking out. The guy is splayed on the floor. Wonder if this is some horror cosplay scene.

53. Just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean you can’t be Batman.

Well, she’s an early incarnation of Batwoman. But what am I kidding? Batman wasn’t around yet.

54. Well, we’ve got a couple of lone rangers.

zorro-lone-ranger-1950s-halloween-costumes

Actually, one’s supposed to be Zorro. But they will strike if not given candy for trick-or-treating.

55. “Won’t you come and spoon with me?”

Oh, hell no. For God’s sake I’m not that desperate for cuddles.

56. “I’m just a little school girl.”

I don’t know about you. But that’s a dude who looks like a lady to me. Possible ancestor of Steve Tyler from Aerosmith.

57. “Get off my lawn, you brats!”

For if you don’t, he’ll run you down and cut you up in his basement. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

58. Watch out for the locker room ghosts.

Of course, they probably didn’t have the time and resources for a full sheet. So they used pillow cases instead. One even has a black bag.

59. “I shall call him, Mini Me.”

These two wear the same cone black hats. The smaller boy is pure evil.

60. I give you, the Elephant Man.

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-elephant-man

Okay, that’s kind of insensitive. Joseph Merrick deserves more dignity than that. Then again, he probably doesn’t know anything about Merrick.

61. Send in the big clowns.

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-large-men

On second thought, do clowns really need to be inflated. That just makes them scarier.

62. “Are you comfortable, madam?”

This mouse seems rather hospitable to that girl. Don’t really want to what kind of relationship they have.

63. “Let’s just watch that house burn.”

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-overexposure

These masks are so terrifying even if they’re supposed to be dolls and clowns. And I’m sure they just set a house on fire.

64. Clown or space alien? You decide.

Actually, she’s probably dressed like a clown. But her tall hat totally seems like it’s from another planet.

65. These two always stick together.

Mostly because they’re dressed as co-join twins. They do a lot together, including murder.

66. “Want to join us at the farm?”

They’re all decked in their pajamas like they’re having a slumber party. Though I’ll pass on this one.

67. This black cat lingers in the alley.

Sure they may look scary. But the 2019 trailer to Cats just makes it look tame in comparison.

68. Hello boys and girls, it’s Beppo the clown.

For God’s sake, kill this infernal creature with fire. Before he kills somebody or gets in a daycare center.

69. Don’t want to run into these monsters even on a good day.

They’re just kids in Halloween costumes. But the masks are simply spooky.

70. Don’t mess with these clown ladies.

26-Best-Vintage-Halloween-Costumes-Inspiration24

Mock their circus act and I swear they will rain fire and terror on you. Or they’ll just kill you in your sleep.

71. Skull girl just loves hanging among the flowers.

947e180a78cf67da32a107785603df2f-creepy-halloween-halloween-costumes

Hey, at least she’s not Rhoda from the Bad Seed. She wouldn’t kill anyone for trivial stuff like a penmanship award. But she will if you mess with her.

72. Why so sad, scarecrow?

a04b57335f3b5adba55e25e6ab2f50b9--creepy-vintage-vintage-halloween

Guy looks like a sagging and depressed muppet. And with bad fashion sense.

73. This witch is awfully fond of these little girls.

Wonder if that witch is in costume. But she shows eyes of ill intent.

74. Care for some clandestine greenhouse ritual?

The kids seem like they’re dressed in their pajamas. The mom’s dressed as a witch.

75. Here’s a still from the new Joker movie.

Well, that might be a little too early. But I’m sure he’ll grow up to be an unstable psychopath nonetheless.

76. Pretty short to have mustaches, don’t you think?

One’s wearing a dress to indicate she’s clearly a girl. But these two seem like they’re silently judging you in those creepy masks.

77. “Here’s Toodles!”

Seeing that clown hovering over that family sends shivers down my spine. Also, is he holding a gun?

78. “I just came here to pick up a few things like your soul.”

I can understand why that girl’s screaming. Still, kind of way too young for this Faustian bargain thing. I think there should be an age of consent for that.

79. Got you 4 little devils in a row.

They’re even all holding masks. But come midnight, they will wreak havoc on a murder spree.

80. These robots come from another galaxy.

But mess with them, they’re bound to exterminate you. They also have great fashion sense.

Gather Round All Ye Lords and Ladies to Marvel at These Magnificent Costumes of the Ye Olde Renaissance Festival (Fifth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on August 24, 2019

20130831_240

Around my area during weekends in late August and September, the Greater Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival is in town. While touted as a medieval fair with music, feasting, lavish costumes, and entertainment, you might end up losing a ton of your money by the end of the day. And while the jousts may look cool, keep in mind that real jousting in that era can lead to fatalities and serious injuries. After all, King Henry VIII nearly died in a jousting accident that screwed him up for the rest of his life. Whereas a French king was literally killed in one. Nonetheless, given the mishmash outfits, the Renaissance Festival has been a place for many to cosplay. Some dress as fantasy characters from Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Some dress in historic costume ranging from medieval to Three Musketeers. While some just put on whatever they want. Since the Renaissance Festival doesn’t care what you wear, as long as you pay. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of lavish Renaissance Festival costumes. Enjoy.

Perhaps you might want a more flowing gown.

Hey, at least you don’t have to wear a corset. Those things can be very tight.

2. A Khal must always have his khaleesi by his side.

Which he bought from her brother so he can get an army to storm into Westeros with. He also raped her on their wedding night. But at least he’s played by Aquaman in the show.

3. You may want to dress in purple as a peasant.

Note that this was highly illegal in Europe during the Renaissance. Since only royalty could wear purple at the time.

4. A fairy should always spread her wings.

This is especially true if she has vibrant butterfly wings. Also, her dress should match them.

5. Feel free to come as your favorite Disney princess.

Well, I guess that can work. Though if you come as Snow White, stay away from apples.

6. You’d be a fool to pass by this jester.

To be fair, jesters only played the fool. However, it was one of the few jobs in the Renaissance era where you criticize your boss and get away with it.

7. A sleek black gown may suit you.

It’s made out of velvet and has silver shoulders. Just don’t trip on the skirt on your way out.

8. You’ll always stand out wearing bright colors.

Since nobles usually wear the large, lavish dresses. These women deck ones of green, blue, and pink. The guy wears red.

9. Black can be quite snazzy.

Sure they may be dressed for a funeral. But you have to love their hats.

10. These barbarians have come to party.

They’re wearing fur, too. One guy doesn’t even wear a shirt. Because at Renaissance Festivals, it’s optional.

11. This big dead cow has room for 2.

You can see how two people operate the cow. The thing might freak you out while passing by.

12. An ornate dress will certainly impress.

This black one includes jewels on the bodice. Like the crown and ruff.

13. A fall fairy has flowers on her wings.

She also wears a long-nosed half mask. Also, the flowers aren’t real. But you probably knew that.

14. You’d have a hell of a time with these 2.

Since they come as demons. The guy even wears red armor and horns.

15. Mail can always protect.

Not sure in the woman’s case. Since it only covers her breasts. Talk about metal.

16. Apparently, Freya stops by.

I mean she’s dressed like a Viking. And her wings are really sensational. Still, you don’t want her to call on the Valkyrie.

17. Even fairies would like to have a good time.

20181108-202407-TacynRenaissanceSeamstress2

One wears green and fire. The other wears blue. But she carries her own mug.

18. Couples should always match in pattern.

20181108-202413-TacynRenaissanceSeamstress3

A lot of couples seem to match. Though the woman has a fantastic hat and skirt.

19. It’s not easy wearing green.

Though these two even wear similar hats. However, their daughter just wears a normal outfit.

20. Looks like we have a dragon in our midst.

28056103_10155544963217779_8511137320299572808_n-1549987966-9015

Or at least half of one. Let’s hope they don’t start any fires, shall we?

21. When you realize that your costume isn’t as pimptastic as you thought it would be.

Though he does wear a fancy black tunic with gold striped pantaloons and a feather hat. Not to mention he wears an awesome necklace, too.

22. Sometimes you have to tie it all up.

Her brown dress seems to be held together through lacing. Even on the skirt and sleeves.

23. These 3 ladies have come for the dead.

Since they’re in Dia de los Muertos costumes. A couple wear skull makeup and don skull hats.

24. Barbarian tribes women in the vicinity.

Okay, they’re just here for the beer. Yet, you have to love their furs.

25. You can catch sight of this druid.

Since his robes are in blue and orange. But there are those who call him Hank.

26. Always take your sword with you.

This guy wears a plain brown tunic and pants. Though it won’t help him if the other guy wears armor.

27. These four beauties always go to the tavern together.

They wear fantastic hats in bright colors, too. They also go to the privies together when nature calls.

28. Guess we got a couple of mad hatters.

They seem to belong to the steampunk crowd. Though both wear top hats.

29. Even a lad must wear a fancy vest.

This is a crocheted black vest with gold trim and buttons. But the boy doesn’t seem too happy about it.

30. A purple fairy doesn’t need a fancy skirt.

e80b22aab73a1d645a2bf0e53affada9--renaissance-fairy-renaissance-costume

Her skirt’s a patchwork. Yet, she wears a matching corset and wings nonetheless.

31. A plain gold trimmed dress will always do.

This is made from velvet. And sure it’s not fancy. But it’s sure expensive.

32. A lady must always carry a bow and arrow.

Though some Ren fairs may have a weapons policy. Still, the bow is quite huge.

33. Aren’t these 2 guys a bit too old to be knights?

Maybe not since knights were all adult ages. But they’re not in Crusader shape.

34. A lady must have a cape of fine furs.

Okay, the fur’s probably fake. Yet, it certainly goes well with her lovely black dress and gold tiara.

35. A Viking woman must always be modest.

No horned helmets or boob armor for her. Just a long dress and a belt.

36. This purple fairy sits on a stump.

Well, she’s wearing purple with green tights. Though her wings are rather transparent.

37. Say hello to the Norse Gods.

Okay, they don’t look like the ones in the Marvel movies. Yet, at least they know how to dress. Sort of.

38. Wonder where this pairing came from.

He’s a medieval knight. She’s an 18th century lady. But will love find a way?

39. Feel free to meet these Disney princesses.

There’s Mulan, Ariel, and Tiana. None of these lived during the Renaissance as far as Disney canon is concerned.

40. These 2 are clad in royal purple splendor.

Their outfits have gold trim and jewels. Yet, their hats are rather different.

41. Want to help a simple townsman?

At least I think it’s a guy. But the capris and sandals indicate otherwise.

42. Behold, a shieldmaiden.

in-progress-the-brightest-photos-of-our-collaboration-with-savra-9

She wears a red dress with green trim. The shield has all kinds of pictures on it.

43. This Scotswoman has all she needs.

After all, that’s what belts are for. She’s even got a fan of peacock feathers.

44. This dragon is a gentleman.

Yet, he’s dressed like he’s from the 18th century. And he wears antennas.

45. A long sack is essential for the desert.

She carries her own walking stick. Hope she can find water.

46. These pirates have come for the rum.

los-angeles-renaissance-faire-may--large-msg-127404957862

The women wear their corsets and the fanciest black hats with feathers. The guy wears a scarf and a vest.

47. Need any feathers in your hair?

These women dress in rather colorful peasant dresses. Like the one in the purple skirt.

48. Why is this Viking so glum?

He’s got a cool helmet and armor. Not to mention he’s got a skull bag. Guess he couldn’t bring his sword.

49. This nun is here to make music.

Though she kind of makes blowing into her flute a habit. That the other nun can’t stand it anymore.

50. We seem to have a couple of fancy pirates.

Seems like these two made their costumes from a rug. Yet, they seem to have a rather good time.

51. What the hell are these Puritans doing here?

After all, don’t they consider fun sinful? Seriously, these people don’t even celebrate Christmas.

52. Queen Liz celebrates a golden occasion.

Since she wears a golden dress as Gloriana. Still, don’t ask why she stays single. It’s mostly political.

53. Seems this woman dresses in rags.

Well, she’s supposed to be dressed like she’s some spirit. Though she doesn’t have much of a corset.

54. Perhaps you might want to dress in glorious pink.

Though I’m not sure if such shades existed in the 1500s. Yet, she wears a black corset over all those layers.

55. A yellow dress can always flatter.

Yet, since this is the 21st century, she can make it as comfortable as she’d like. Since historical accuracy isn’t a benchmark at Ren fairs.

56. The faun gets all the chicks.

He’s shirtless with horns and a fur bottom. Then again, James McAvoy’s Mr. Tummus was much better looking.

57. An elf girl should have a nice spring dress.

She wears a dress with a corset and boots. Perfect for a nice Renaissance festival.

58. You don’t always need to dress in flashy colors.

renaissance-fair-ideas-renaissance-faire-outfit-loveniki-wedding-art-photos

She wears an cream dress with blue. Has a tiara around her head.

59. Want a wooden sword?

renaissance-fair-ideas-scarborough-renaissance-festival-waxahachie-tx-peasant-merchant-floral-wedding-band

Because metal swords can actually kill people. Though it’s not nice being hit by one either.

60. She prefers an old swashbuckler.

He even wears an old-fashioned mustache. You’d almost think him a musketeer.

61. Jon Snow and Daenerys are the king and queen everyone wants to rule.

Too bad their relationship didn’t last. Since Dany went crazy and burned down King’s Landing. So Jon had to kill her.

62. White can always make one stand out.

This couple dresses to attract stains. Though the woman has a goblet on her belt.

63. Want to ride this centaur?

Sure he may not seem straight out of Fantasia. But you can put a saddle on him.

64. Just between two grizzled pirates.

To be fair, pirates didn’t have white and gray beards. Because most of them were under 30 and usually didn’t live past that age.

65. These two don’t come with much on them.

I bet you they’re supposed to be tribespeople. Yet, they’re really pushing it with the dress code.

66. Walking in the bushes, are we?

He wears a fancy black tunic and a feather hat. She wears a gold and blue dress with a pearl net.

67. Looks like we have a little Robin Hood in the making.

robin-hood-prince-of-thieves-133299-448x800

Though he should be careful when climbing that tree. Still, wonder if he’s got help from his merry men.

68. Get a load of these royals.

They even wear matching outfits and crowns. King even has a nice lion on his tunic.

69. You’ll have a good time with these pirates.

sat-floridarenaissancefestival-bobcarlson_

They all quite stunningly dressed. Some even carry the swagger.

70. Gandalf and Legolas stop by.

So take advantage of all the Middle Earth photo ops while you can. Since it won’t be long till they have to head for Mordor.

71. Forest spirit just needs a cup of ale.

She wears a green leaf dress. But you have to love her flower garland on her head.

72. You might find this fairy up a tree.

She has red tights and a brown skirt. Got to like the feathered headdress.

73. This wedding gets a royal sendoff.

Texas_Renaissance_Festival_Texas_Renaissance_Festival - 23

Yes, you can get married at a Renaissance Festival. Though I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that. Still, that knight salute is pretty awesome.

74. This woman has a very long horn.

She’s dressed like a gypsy. Yet, I wonder what sound she gets from that.

75. I don’t think they have the droids they’re looking for.

Stormtroopers have gone to the wrong venue. Padme Amidala’s in the front by the way.

76. These guys are here to entertain.

They’re all dressed like a trio of troubadours. Got to like their snazzy hats.

77. Mind if he uses his telescope?

Since he needs to stand it up on a stick. Also, don’t mind his ridiculous feather hat and big pantaloons.

78. Want to hang out with a Scottish Stormtrooper?

Didn’t know Imperial Stormtroopers can be Scottish. Still, he won’t find the droids he’s looking for in that kilt and tam.

79. Blue fairy or purple fairy?

They both wear long dresses and large wings. One even has flowers on her skirt.

80. Perhaps a white dress and corset is all you need.

vanessa-hudgens-at-the-renaissance-pleasure-faire-in-irwindale-ca-may-2016-11

Hers has a flower and fringes. She’s also Vanessa Hudgens.

College Sports Fans Dressed in School Spirit Attire (Fourth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on August 13, 2019

tumblr_mxaluzUs7N1rsg1e4o1_500

As with my NFL costume post, I decided not to use my own picture to open it this year since photo ops require considerable preparation beforehand. Anyway, while American football fans look forward to their favorite NFL team play, school will soon be in session. And this means college football season will soon begin. In many places in the US, you’ll find people who are more diehard over their college teams than those in the pros. Mostly because they either went to the college or the college in question is closer to where they live. You can see this prevalent in the South, particularly in places like Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Thus, you’ll probably find plenty of sports fans in ridiculous costumes. So for your reading pleasure I give you another assortment of them. Most of them will be from NCAA Div. I teams. Enjoy.

Here you can see a real life San Diego State University Aztec.

Sure, it might be cultural appropriation. But unlike the Chargers, at least the SDSU Aztecs won’t desert to LA.

2. Bane and Iron Man can always come out to support the Miami Hurricanes.

Okay, they’re fans dressed as Iron Man and Bane in green and orange glory. Bane even has gloves depicting the school mascot.

3. You’ll see a real Orange Man among the Syracuse fans.

Well, the guy’s in orange spandex. Still less lame than the school’s actual mascot.

4. Someone must be nuts about Ohio State.

He’s wearing a Buckeye nut necklace for emphasis. While his wig is of red and silver.

5. Apparently, Santa Claus supports the University of Virginia.

Okay, that’s not Santa but he’s sporting a long beard and wearing a hat. Still, don’t really see Kris Kringle cheering for the Cavaliers.

6. He wears his love for the North Carolina Tarheels on his hat.

Well, at least on the visor. Also, he painted half his face blue.

7. These guys go blue for Xavier U.

Xavier is a Jesuit university in Cincinnati. Its mascot is the Musketeer and you might hear about them during March Madness. And yes, these guys are painted blue.

8. Here we find a Mountaineer fan trying to playfully strangle a Tiger fan from LSU.

One guy wears a spandex suit with a blue and gold wig. The other goes all in on purple and gold.

9. You’d think these Clemson Tiger fans were in a production of cats.

NCAA FOOTBALL: OCT 15 NC State at Clemson

Since they have their faces painted like a tiger. Some even wear tiger costumes.

10. Always roll the tide in Alabama.

These guys even wear big ties. As they show their Tide boxes on a stick with toilet paper.

11. An Irish fan should go all out.

This woman wears a shiny garland top hat you’d use in Saint Patrick’s Day decorations. Since she’s proud of Notre Dame.

12. This Auburn guy goes with the Tiger face.

He even wears tiger fangs. While his stripes are blue on orange.

13. These guys always wear their love for Auburn on their chest.

auburn-fans-bodypaint-mispelled_display_image

NFL Fans Dressed and Ready for Game Day (Fifth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on August 6, 2019

Though August has no notable holidays, it’s a rather busy month. For one, people usually take their vacations around this time. Second, it’s back to school season, making stores busy given how parents scramble for their kids’ supplies. But August also kicks off the NFL pre-season. And the Steelers’ first pre-season game is on Friday, August 9. Given that I’m not a big sports fan at all, I’ll most likely watch Netflix instead. Nonetheless, given that football is incredibly important where I live, I must do posts to boost my stats since they’ve been recently lagging. Anyway, one of the huge features of sporting events is seeing some fans in their outlandish costumes. Because for them, wearing their team’s jersey isn’t enough. The NFL is no exception. And yes, people do look ridiculous in them. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of NFL costumes.

You might find a scary face among the stands in Miami.

And it’s not Ray Finkle. Rather it’s a guy in a orange and aqua green horror movie mask to support the Dolphins.

2. Feel free to go blue for the Dallas Cowboys.

And thank God, they’re wearing shirts. Still, one guy has a silver star on his face.

5. For Seahawks fans, the hair should always match the face paint.

And yes, his mohawk is in green, blue, and silver. Fortunately, the Seahawks are usually good enough to make the playoffs.

6. Huge support for one’s team always requires a huge hat.

This guy has a Dr. Seuss type hat in support of his Tennessee Titans. Wonder why you don’t hear about that team very often.

7. A Broncos fan should always drive in a Broncos car.

Sure it’s small. But I’m positive it cost this guy a fortune. But he seems proud of it in his horse hat.

8. The Houston Texan fans have their horns out.

The horns are made from paper mache. But they’re also in red and blue to support the team.

9. She has her love for the Pittsburgh Steelers all over her face.

Well, she has the logo on the face. Also wears a boa of black and gold feathers around her neck and beneath her coat.

He even wears a cheese tie with coveralls. Would be funnier if he wore the tie with a green suit.

12. Don’t forget to have a beer on tap.

43. He shows his love for the Seahawks all over his face.

His fan face even includes sharp teeth. Still, why anyone would do face paint like this is beyond me.

These guys wear spiked shoulder pads to support their team. Hey, at least they’re not wearing warbonnets.

75. This Raiders fan comes in all spiked.

Don’t want to sit next to him in the stadium. After all, you might get poked by one of his shoulders.

76. It’s not easy being green.

Unless you’re a Seahawks fan apparently. As both dad and kid sport green faces and hair.

77. These New York Giants fans come in their silver jackets.

81. Perhaps you should come into a stadium well dressed.

Here this Atlanta Falcons fan wears a shiny silver dress. While a red shawl covers her shoulders. Not sure what it’s made of.

82. Shiny skulls may suit any Raiders fan.

This guy has one on each shoulder. Don’t want to sit next to him at the game.

83. You may never guess who’s under this Saints fan’s mask.

He wears a mask and armor. Armor even has spikes.

84. Seems like glory has gone to these Seahawks fans’ heads.

Actually they’re masks. But they do look incredibly goofy and cartoonish that you can’t take them seriously.

85. High spikes always look great on a Patriots fan.

New England Patriots vs Los Angeles Rams

They’re often used to deflate footballs. But I don’t think these spikes will do the trick.

86. The New England Patriots are among the greatest American football teams.

This guy wears an American flag painted on his chest. His face is blue with white stars. Also, most people outside New England hate the Patriots.

Okay, he’s not. His fake hair just looks like it’s on fire given the team colors.

Okay, he’s got body paint Colts helmet. And yes, it looks incredibly ridiculous. Seriously, why?

96. Seahawks fans come in all types.

Some of them can be snazzy dressers. Others look incredibly freakish. But hey, it’s all for the team.

97. Maybe the lady might want to see the Raiders win.

Indeed her mask has a veil in the back. But she has a fancy mask party to attend afterwards.

How many does this Ravens fan have? And do the beads weigh him down?

The Anthro World of Furry Costumes (Fourth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on July 6, 2019

00d114ca37fbc952b584f5b80c3a48b0

Just as the 4th of July dies down over the weekend, the Furries descend onto Pittsburgh for their annual Furfest. Now given that it’s summer, you have to wonder how these people can wear these suits that can weigh as much as 70lbs. And unlike the Disney park costumes, I’m not sure if they contain fans. Nonetheless, these anthropomorphic cosplayers have been a source of endless fascination by many. Though some might resemble humanized versions of their animal, some can come in very bright colors. While some have a sort of mix-and-match critter thing going on. Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of furry costumes.

A fox should always show off its furs.

At least I think it’s a fox. Still, their fur has spots on the tail, upper chest, and ears.

2. My, what a handsome pair of horns.

Though I think they’re far from the savannah. Yet, they have hooves on their hands and feet.

3. Look, out someone’s green with envy.

This one is green with horns and a white mane. Also, has hooves on their feet. Kind of a mix between a dog and a satyr.

4. Nothing beats spikes, horns, and scales.

Despite that scales are usually seen on reptiles not mammals. Yet, you don’t want to go near this fantasy dog.

5. Guess this dog works for PennDOT.

Because they’re wearing a bright orange vest. And it seems to be writing a citation. Wait a minute.

6. Need a paw?

Someone’s willing to lend a hand. Though their ears are rather long.

7. Seems like you’ve run into a punk hyena.

This one has red fur on the mane along with some earrings in their ear. Reminds me of a stereotypical drug dealer.

8. Perhaps a skull helmet would suit you.

Well, this one has a skull helmet with horns on it. But it goes well with the stripes on their body.

9. A fuzzy neck can be absolutely fabulous.

Yet, I’m not sure the black neck fur goes well with the whole fursuit. But they don’t seem to care.

10. Blue back spikes must always match the fur on top.

And they seem to be on a beach in a palm tree location. So they must be roasting.

11. Sometimes a bright green stripe is all you need to stand out.

Well, they have more than one neon green stripe. But they seem quite a climber from what I see in this picture.

12. One dog can have a coat of many colors.

This one has some rainbow fur on their back. Though they’re sparkling and white up front.

13. We can all use a break now and then.

This dog has yellow and blue fur. But right now they seem very exhausted. Must be the summer heat.

14. Someone’s getting funky on the dance floor.

Well, they seem more like prancing than dancing. Still, they must be sweating inside that costume.

15. A shark tail can always make a dog look badass.

Sure it doesn’t go well with a dog. But neither do clothes or the color blue.

16. Didn’t know a blue dog could have wings.

Actually bats are the only mammals with wings as far as I know. However, don’t hug them.

17. This bunny just wants to listen to music by themselves.

At least I think they’re a bunny. Sometimes you can’t tell what animal these furries are supposed to be.

18. Never thought I’d see a green dog before.

Wonder what this dog would look in front of a green screen. Then again, you might not be able to see them.

19. This dog’s come well dressed.

Seems like they’re dressed for a job interview. Hopefully, it’s for a pet store.

20. Who says dogs can’t be badass?

And yes, they’re on a beach. Let’s hope it’s one in New England or Alaska. So they don’t succumb to heatstroke.

21. We all have our bad hair days.

Or bad fur days in this furry’s case. Nonetheless, this dog has spots and fuzzy paws.

22. Someone’s waiting at the door.

This leopard is dressed in regular street clothes. Hope they’re not inside an elevator.

23. Sometimes you better put your best tail forward.

This dog just wants to strike a pose. Yet, they’re doing no favors being in front of a car.

24. Bet you didn’t see a zebra in a hotel before.

This one has their front legs out on the balcony. Though I don’t think they have the best view.

25. This dog’s pants are totally ripped.

Yet, I wouldn’t recommend wearing ripped jeans. Especially if they came that way on the rack.

26. Bet you want to hang out with these cool cats.

On second thought, given the ferociousness of big cats, I’d rather not. They’ll eat me alive.

27. This blue and green dog is eager to meet you.

They even have a matching bandana around their neck. Yet, their nose and tongue are blue, which should cause some concern.

28. You have to be batty for pink fur.

You can see their wings. But I’m not sure if I’d run into a bat like them at night.

29. Want to get a load of this cool tiger?

This one even wears shiny shorts. Then again, I’m not sure what those pants are.

30. You can see this dog from a mile away.

Has 2 striped legs. One has black stripes. The other has yellow stripes.

31. Some dogs are just lone wolves.

So it’s best to leave them alone. Since they just want to mind their own business.

32. No one could be as adorable as this black and white cat.

Yes, they’re sitting in an adorable pose. And yes, they have pink eyes for extra cuteness.

33. Who can resist this eager purple dog?

Well, a lot of furries don’t dress in natural color animal costumes. Still, they have pink claws and purple tiger stripes.

34. Want to get a high five?

After all, kids will certainly go crazy over these costumed furries. Best be nice to them.

35. This dog lives for the ice and snow.

Well, at least they won’t be subject to heatstroke. Nor would they need a coat either.

36. This lion might want a bit of privacy.

At least according to how he stands. Though you have to admire that purple mane.

37. My, check the horns on this wolf.

Okay, that’s definitely a fantasy creature. And yes, they have hooves on their feet, too.

38. Hope you don’t get devoured by this colorful tiger.

This tiger is yellow with blue stripes. Wears a red bandana to round up the primary colors.

39. Bet you’ve never seen a bird this big before.

Apparently, this bird is quite fuzzy, too. However, I don’t see any feathers though.

40. Never thought I’d see a purple dog like this.

This one has big paws on their feet with bright blue claws. Wonder how they sit with that costume on.

41. Perhaps you might take a look at this majestic wolf.

This one’s wearing a ragged dress. Like she’s wandering a dark forest.

42. Even dragons must take a break once in awhile.

Sure they don’t seem like they’re the kind to burn King’s Landing. But piss them off and you’ll live to regret it.

43. This lynx just wants to say hello.

In case you don’t know, these fursuits can cost thousands of dollars. This is among the cheaper ones.

44. I don’t want to know what this lion will do to this gingerbread man.

Relax, the gingerbread man is a prop since it’s a plush. But the pose still makes you worry.

45. Want this doe to give you the time of day?

Well, this one just constitutes of a deer mask and a dress. Simple as that.

46. Your claws can never be too long.

Don’t worry, they’re plush like the rest of the costume. This critter just likes showing them off.

47. Care for a trip to the beach?

Whoever’s wearing this costume must be sweating balls. Might have a tiger-striped fish tail.

48. Perhaps you might like a couple of colorful tails.

One tail is black and bright blue. The other is rainbow. But both have dog faces.

49. Make sure the scarf matches the fur.

Yet, they look at the camera like it’s up in their shit. And want you to back off.

50. This beast seems to enjoy a nice gold goblet of wine.

Guess this chimera likes the finer things in life. Hope it doesn’t rain.

51. Someone is a bit husky.

Since this one is a husky dog, obviously. But unlike those in Alaska, they don’t pull a sled.

52. You’d call this a hipster bat.

Since they’re totally out of the mainstream. Their fur is even in neon colors.

53. Just a couple of wolves in each others arms.

Though their den is way nicer than a lot of wolf dens. Despite it still being messy.

54. Hope you can’t get enough yellow and blue fuzz.

Since they have yellow and blue fur. Not sure what that animal this is supposed to be.

55. Bright colors always make one stand out.

This dog is blue and orange. Wears a checked bandana and black rimmed glasses without lenses.

56. Someone’s really playing possum.

Even in bright blue and white, this furry possum’s quite ugly. Seems more like a neon rat.

57. This gray bunny only wants a hug.

Seems straight from an anime. Though they’re gray and spotted.

58. Perhaps you’d like a calico fox.

This one is in red, black, and white. And their back is quite elaborate don’t you think?

59. How about give this lion a hug?

The lion even has their own collar. Though lions aren’t known for being anywhere domestication material.

67. Perhaps you’d flee from this infernal black beast.

Don’t worry, they’re just a furry. Has horns and hooves.

68. Could you see the bat behind the wings?

Seems like they’re wrapped in them. Wonder how they could sit down like that.

69. A leg can always use a few stars.

This one has rainbow stars. Also rainbow fur on the head.

70. This deer is what you’d call a real lumberjack.

Even carries a real ax along with jeans and a flannel shirt. Underneath, he wears suspenders and a bra.

71. I guess we found a real Playboy Bunny.

He’s a bunny wearing a suit. Also the photo is black and white like it’s the 1960s and he’s Don Draper.

72. This majestic fox carries quite an impression.

Mainly because they have antlers and blue in their fur. Also, their tail is quite long.

73. This dog rocks in the black and gold.

I’m sure it will help them get free drinks in Pittsburgh during Furfest. Though their costume is more white than anything.

74. Apparently, a creature can have 3 eyes.

The third eye is on top. Is also blue with spots all over their fur.

75. Blue and black make for a nice combination.

Contains white claws with black ears and paws. Wonder if they have a beaver tail.

77. This gray cat just wants to say hello.

They have big eyes to inspire people to cuddle them. Also, has big ears.

78. Get a load on this colorful tiger.

This one is mostly neon green and orange with yellow stripes. Won’t have much trouble seeing them in the dark.

Anyway, what began as an item women would show off during the Easter Sunday church services has become a must have for men, women, and kids. Now you have plenty of crazy hats on the Easter parade, particularly in New York City.
