halloween is fashion.

loveandcyanide loves halloween. we've loved it since back in the day when we were 4 and 1, dressed up as a pink my little pony and a baby bunny, hamming it up for dad's video camera with our plastic pumpkins full of treats. its all about candy and parties and getting to look a little out of the ordinary. whats not to love?

a brand new (at least we think) addition to the online halloween hoopla - seriously, you could spend an entire day perusing the craziness of the costume sites - are videos of people modeling the costumes. you know, because a photo of a man in a banana suit wasn't enough to convince you to purchase it. gee, i reealllly want to be that banana for halloween, but how will that yellow foam suit move as i walk down the street?

a very important question. thank goodness buycostumes.com has made life easier for us, and for some of their costumes, beyond just the mere photo they have enabled links to video of the costume in question. the videos feature a runway and commentary on the outfit. they are probably the funniest things i've seen all week.

since we're still not technologically savvy enough to get videos in our posts (and really, would you want us to? so many, too many, bloggers rely on a youtube video as the meat of their post, thinking their job is done. lazy fools. that's what the boob tube is for. aren't you kids happy to do some good old fashioned reading when you come to our neck of the web?), here is a link to a costume, and you'll find the video, of a large man modeling a tooth fairy getup, there. enjoy.
