Although a sexy The Handmaid’s Tale costume may be this years costume shocker (Latest Picks 24th Sept. 2018) this years pop cultural choice must surely be a gaming one:
FORTNITE FRIGHT Fortnite Halloween costumes—here’s where to find the cheapest outfits for 2018 (thesun.co.uk).
IT’S the smash hit battle royale video game that both children and adults love to play—so it’s no surprise that Fortnite will be one of the biggest inspirations for Halloween costumes this year.
Indeed, a potential horror story encouraging suggestible youngsters and especially impressionable grown men—and anyone‘s guess as to semi- to full grown women (reddit.com)—to install the game—and assorted malware extras (independent.co.uk, Sept. 2018)—onto their Droid device from anywhere other than the Google Play Store so that Epic could “prove a point” save paying the 30% cut demanded by Google’s Android monopoly (cnet.com, Aug. 2018).
Popular outfits [for both kids and adults] range from classic skins such as Raven and the Black Knight to seasonal favourites such as the exclusive Halloween-themed Skull Trooper and the Valentine’s Day limited edition Cuddle Team Leader outfit.
And like in the skins in the game purchasable with V-Bucks sadly these outfits do not providing any gameplay advantage other than you can imagine your opponent really is sitting there dressed as Cuddle Team Leader as you blow his or her care bears off with the Rocket Launcher and stand up in in the room to do their victory floss dance (thesun.co.uk) in your underpants or jiggle your parent-upsetting boobies like Calamity (pcgamer.com).
And likely taking the prize for being this years lamest costume:
NOT SCARY Urban Outfitters is selling a £45 ‘Influencer’ Halloween costume—but it is just leggings and a bra (thesun.co.uk).
According to the website, the grey ensemble allows buyers to “channel Instagram style in this low-key costume set worthy of a superstar influencer”.
Appearing to be “influenced” by Kim Kardashaian West seen out as dapper rapping tailor hubby Kanye—or Ye as he likes to now now known (bbc.co.uk, Sept. 2018) own ultimate Instagirl personal paparazzi manikin in place of a traditional runway show (highsnobiety.com, Dec. 2017) previewing something knocked up for his Yeezy season six collection.
Unsurprisingly, “shoppers”—virtual at least—were less-than-impressed, taking to Twitter to express their views in #SocialMediac fashion:
But in case you have influencer aspirations on the cheap for yourself or as gift for party going companion or chick you just be wanting to pimp your schemes and stuff on GoogleTube:
Influencer Halloween Costume Set $59.00 (urbanoutfitters.com).
But note, as well as the “sunglasses, sneakers + wig” the jacket worn in the first picture akin to that worn by Kim for the Yeezy season six collection is not included either, it really being just the “minimalist sporty-chic sports bra + leggings in muted tonal hues”.
