Halloween Don'ts
If people were dressed up last night, DCSOB was there. Our crack team (it was a team, they just haven't posted yet), checked out the slutty nurses at the Midtown Bar Crawl, the Catholic priests and Scottish Highlanders in Dupont Circle, the walking Union Jacks in Mt. Pleasant and the complete freak show in Adams Morgan. There was good, there was bad, and there was ugly. In the interests of serving the public, DCSOB presents some tips for avoiding making a fool of yourself next year:
Do your homework: If you want to be Jam Master Jay, don't wear a big clock around your neck - that's Flava Flav. If you want to be Flava Flav, don't wear all black jumpers and a porkpie hat - that's Jam Master Jay.
If you're Madonna and you're on a long line next to a Britney, you have to make out: Don't fight it. We saw plenty of combos passing each other, especially on 18th Street. The fact that there was no "Vogue"-era-Madonna-on-"Baby One More Time"-era-Britney action was a travesty.
Wearing a green wig is not a costume in itself: Sorry ladies. You have to do better in 2004.
There's Uma and then there's Uma: We saw five Kill Bill-era Uma Thurmans walking around last night. If you had the yellow jumper and samurai sword, you were a copycat. If you tussled your hair, cut the outfit a bit and liberally applied stage blood, you had it going on.
