Halloween – KitschMix

Its Halloween, which means time for pumpkins, trick or treating and getting cosy with your girlfriend. Here are a few date ideas to get you both in the mood for some festive lovin.

They called it pumpkin love…

Carve your pumpkins together and get an extra pumpkin to make soup with. A hot bowl of pumpkin soup will get both of you toasty, and you can even have a competition as to whose is the best design. If you fight too much over it, though, guarantee that sparks will fly. Either way, this idea is sure to bring out both your creative and competitive sides.

Scary movie night

This one might be a classic, but it works every time. A cold october night, a scary movie marathon and the love of your life. Make yourselves some popcorn and hot chocolate, curl up under a forte blanket and watch your favourite horrors. Lots of cuddles are ensured when either of you gets scared. This date is a winner.

Star gazing

A less Halloween idea and more of an October one. Here comes a time of year when nights are cool, but both crisp and clear at the same time. Find a particularly clear one, get your blanket and lay under the stars. It’s cosy, cheap and so romantic. You can even have a picnic under the stars and add candles for effect, if you were that way inclined.

Theme your room

Whether you’re moving house, have recently moved or just don’t mind a change of scenery for a while. Get creative together and decorate your room. It could be your bedroom, or even your kitchen, but whichever room you pick make sure you decorate together. Half the fun is in the ideas and choosing what it’s going to look like.

Trick or treating

This is an old school idea, and many would say childish. However, it is one of the more fun options. You get to dress up, and could even go as far as to go dressed in couples Halloween costumes. Ideas are plenty with what you can do, and at the end of the night you get to eat loads of sweets whilst watching your favourite movies.

Whatever you’re doing this Halloween, single or together, make it a great one. Dress up, go out, stay in, have fun and make it a treat.

If there is one holiday the gay men beat us at, it’s Halloween. They win for two reasons: First, because they’re willing to spend a lot of precious hours and dollars on something extravagant, sparkly, and beautiful. Secondly, because if they don’t want to put effort into anything they can just wear a jock-strap and go as some sort of professional athlete.

In an effort to help the ladies who love ladies out there, I have compiled a list of costumes that you can assemble mostly from your closet (or your girlfriend’s if you’re lucky enough to have one). And don’t worry; they aren’t the default trucker, cowgirl, and/or lumberjack that we’ve all done last minute.

1. The Dude

From Your Closet: A white v-neck tee, sandals, sunglasses, and plaid board shorts.

You Might Have To Get: A bathrobe

2. Kim Possible

From Your Closet: Cargo pants (I know they’re in the closet somewhere, probably next to your first college girlfriend), black shirt, and gloves.

Tip: Say, “What’s the sitch?” into your cell phone all night.

3. Lara Croft

Even if you don’t have big boobs, this is an easy and fun one to do!

From Your Closet: There’s a ton of different versions of her so you can wear dark or khaki shorts or pants, a black tank top, and combat boots. Throw your hair in a braid or let your girlfriend do it as a fun bonding experience.

You Might Have To Get: Some fake guns if they’re allowed at the party you’re attending.

4. Hey Arnold

From Your Closet: Red flannel, green sweater, jeans, and a baseball cap.

Tip: Also a great couple costume if your lady friend has a pink dress and a uni-brow.

5. Army Pants and Flip-Flops Girl from Mean Girls

From Your Closet: Army pants and flip-flops.

If anyone asks what you are, just say:

6. Francine from Arthur

From Your Closet: Red sweatshirt, jeans, and red chucks.

You Might Have To Get: A couple yellow barrettes, unless you already rock those.

7. Sporty Spice

From Your Closet: Sports bra, track pants, and sneakers. Bonus points if you already have the armband tattoo.

It’s never out of style to spice up your life!

8. Katniss Everdeen

From Your Closet: Cargo pants, dark v-neck, combat boots, and brown leather jacket (if you have one).

You Might Have To Get: Bow, arrows, and the ability to kick-ass.

9. John Bender AKA “The Criminal”

From Your Closet: White t-shirt, red flannel, jean jacket, grey jeans, and black boots. It’s also a great touch to cut the fingers off an old pair of gloves.

Optional Accessories: Molly Ringwald and a bad attitude.

10. Pillow Princess

From Your (Linen) Closet: An old pillowcase and tiara.

Instructions: Cut a hole in the pillowcase for your arms and legs. Then, place the tiara on your head. For added length, use a body pillowcase.

Tip: Don’t tell your girlfriend you are going as her.

If all else fails, paint yourself a deep blue and go as an Indigo Girl.
