Halloween Scarves.

It's October! Which means (perhaps I should say witch means,) Halloween! Now, I like for Halloween to encompass the entire span of the month, not just the last day. I love, love, love All Hallows Eve-simply because it gives me the excuse to treat my inner child to a month long session of playing dress-up, carving pumpkins, and embracing all things spooky.  It really is one of the best holidays ever, and even when a full costume isn't possible, October, with its Halloween flavored influences, offers up some pretty cool accessories:

Scarves are one of my favorite fall fashion items...and when you're able to take that item and bend it from its regular shape into a piece of wearable art; I'm a fan! These awesome cobweb scarves by Las Lopez do just that. The whole site has some pretty sweet wearable fiber art. I love the different feel each of these gives, just by changing the color! You've got your choice between cobweb chic and blood-dripping freak.

You could choose to go with this chain scarf by Toggle...which makes me think of both Mr. T and Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol. A ghostly Mr. T would be a pretty innovative costume and a sure twist on Dickens. "I pity the foo' that don't honor Christmas in they heart!"

The Do Not Cross scarf by Fuzz is so cool it's almost criminal! (seewhatIdidthere?)

If you'd like something a little edgier, a little more cutthroat, there's always the bloody saw scarf. It goes hand in hand, or perhaps I should say runs neck and neck with Do Not Cross...actually, they're the perfect pair. Wear the saw one day and the crime scene the next, and you can be your own inside joke!

 H.P Lovecrafty! The Dread Cthulhu has never looked so adorable! You'd be mad not to love this lil' guy! There's a lot of cool Cthulhu inspired clothing on the web...it's amazing what these artists dream up.

 Finally, let's finish off with something sweet. I'm loving this candy corn scarf, and nothing says Halloween better than high fructose corn syrup...just ask any kid with a trick or treat bag.

Happy Halloween!

In some bizarre-o, 1980's giant-world, a very large Jennifer Beals is missing her sweatshirt. I also see that we've moved beyond skants now and are just using the sleeves as leg warmers...or as I now like to call them, Slegwarmers©.

"Honey, see, I told you everything would be swell, just swell! Jim and Bob hardly made any fun of you at all, and you know how those boys are, they'll probably be too hungover to bring it up at your sales meeting with the boss tomorrow anyway. Now, don't you pay any attention to that camera!

...Oh Tommy, *sigh, I wish you wouldn't drink so much. "

...Remember that scene in Alien?

You know...

This one?

Lego version used for the sake of the squeamish, and because it's awesome.

I'm seeing a similarity, although Mom seems a lot happier about her lil' chestburster than Kane did.

What A Bunch of Skants...

So, I've not posted in over a year.

That is not awesome.
Not at all.

This however...is awesome...in so. many. horrible. ways...

Sweater Pants...'Skants'

The Urban Dictionary defines Skants as: When one takes a sweater or shirt, turns it upside down and wears it as pants. Legs go through the arm holes. Sewing up the neck hole is optional.

Thanks Regretsy!

Taylor Lautner, I blame you. (I'm ignoring the Duran Duran comment.)

Thanks to elistmania!

Joseph and the technicolor dream skants.

Oh Regretsy! More goodness...

I don't believe this exists, but all I can think of is the term 'Birthing pants.' That's all I can see, birthing pants. Cant. unsee. it. (Although, I do truly love her 'look at my incredible angst and artistry' pose. )

Now, that second pair, it just looks like she had a massive blow out. Next time, don't go for the chili, sweetcheeks.

But hang on, let me get back to that first number. If you actually made that hoodie, I will give props to your skills. If however, you, as I assume, just put it on in such a fashion...let me offer you some assistance:

"Skants."

seriously.
