Halloween

In front of that vintage store Daha on the Lower East Side, around 11 p.m. last night, a couple was overheard having "the talk." He just didn't want to be in a relationship. She wanted him to be more emotionally transparent. He was wearing a Planet of the Apes mask. This was the day after Halloween.

We found a picture of the woman who was dressed as the prettiest bodega below 14th Street at the Bowery Hotel Party on Halloween. Turns out she's a fashion designer! [Refinery29; photo by Joshua Lucas Farley]

Hipster Or Halloween Costume?

It's the spookiest time of year: The time when you can't tell a horrifically dressed club kid from a terribly dressed but otherwise normal Halloween reveler. But we can! Your friend and ours Alex Blagg trolls the photo-trolls of Ambrel, Cobrasnake, Nicky Digital, and Last Night's Party to deliver the good news: Society is just a costume! (Deep, man!) More »

Sexy Referees, Bloody Vajayjays And More Lagerfelds

While we were swarmed by Bob Dylans at the Bowery, the hardest working man in the shutter business, Nikola Tamindzic, was party hopping. He hit up the dance party Shindig, Michael T's Motherfucker and the"culturally revolutionary" Flavorpill party. According to Nikola, "There were a whole lot of nurses and sexy pirates, Amy Winehouses and Karl Lagerfelds. Strangely I didn't see any iPhones." (He did see some seriously NSFW stuff which is here) . And with that, let's all say goodbye to another great Gay Christmas!

"Olsen Twin Dressed As Olsen Twin" And Other Hipster Costumes

Last night we ended up at a party at the Bowery Hotel called Werewolf Bar Mitzvah. At 11 p.m., the line outside stretched past the Renewal on Bowery homeless shelter all the way to the N.Y.U. dorms. Mary Kate Olsen was on the dance floor. She looked to be dressed as Ashley! But it could have been the other way around! We were forbidden to ask by a bodyguard.

Park Slope Candy Shortage Ends In Violent Melee!

First they came for the strippers—and now Park Slope has apparently turned against Halloween completely and denied its precious and bright children candy itself. According to an irate reader, nearly every store along 5th Ave ran out of sweets before the sun had even set! More »

Bloody Nipples, Offensive Stereotypes And Sexy Everything

Last night on the streets of New York, gallons of fake blood were spilled; thousands of wigs donned and millions of particles of glitter fell from slutty angels, slutty nurses, slutty penguins, slutty blackface, slutty David Bowies, and slutty sluts. Nikola Tamindzic roamed the Halloween battlefield looking for the best, or at least the most revealing, costumes. He did not get knifed or gunned!

Halloween Shoot-Out In Union Square

If you were downtown last night at 1 a.m., perhaps you noticed the insane volume of the siren of every emergency vehicle in the city converging on somewhere? Now we know that they were all headed to Union Square, where four people were shot and one was stabbed not long after midnight. The Daily News says 4 to 6 shots fired and hundreds of fleeing people in the park; the Post says 8 shots. No one was killed—but, adding insult to injury, some of the poor shootees were taken to Bellevue Hospital.

Which hipster-nightlife photographer totally named Merlin Bronques threw a major hissy fit in front of the elevators at the incredibly boring Shindig party last night? "What the fuck is your problem," he shrieked, violently jabbing the 'down' button. "I told you to hold the fucking door for me!" Dude. It's just Halloween. ("Last Night's Party is so not even cool anymore," muttered a girl in the elevator. Harsh!)

What Are You Being For Halloween?


Alex Goldberg and I went and harassed the last-minute lunch break costume shoppers outside the big Halloween store on lower Broadway. They are all being either a "pirate" or a "sex instructor" basically! Also a lot of people were being "assholes who are too important to answer one simple question." Halloween: High stress, low stakes!

Best Topical Halloween Costumes 2007

Hey, what are you being for Halloween? It falls in the middle of the week this year, which is lame, but this is New York, so please do go ahead and dress up as Amy Winehouse in order to sit on your stoop and pass out candy to children! Other decent ones we have heard:

  • Malibu
  • Larry Craig (involves walking around inside a stall all night though)
  • gay Iranian
  • Hollywood writers strike
  • the ghost of Brooke Astor
  • sluts
  • Michael Vick's abused dog


  • So the Scores strippers maybe shouldn't have gone to the Daily News with word of their date with all the Park Slope kids. Now the school has disinvited them from the party and may cancel the event altogether. What has our society come to when a group of exotic dancers can't hand out candy to children? [NYM]

    Park Slope Middle School Wastes Strippers On Little Kid Party

    Strippers handing out candy to your children! It could happen to you! (If you live in Park Slope.) According to the Daily News, a half-dozen Scores exotic dancers are heading to Brooklyn's Middle School 51 to work the candy booths at this Saturday's Haunted Halloween Carnival Benefit for the Puppetry Art Theatre. And parents are outraged! Well, like one parent is outraged. It's Park Slope, parents would probably only get up in arms about this if one of the strippers said Carroll Gardens kids were better behaved or something.

    Dress Julia Allison

    Julia Allison needs your help! The newly single Star Editor-at-Large surely must need help topping last year's Halloween costume—though we're all afraid your suggestions will just be different permutations of 'a vulva.' Oh, Jules, of course they won't! America is your fan. Let's all pitch in and help Ms. Allison find the perfect Halloween costume. It's going to be hard to do better than her previous outfit (a costume made entirely out of Magnum XL condoms), but we're sure one of these choices, if executed correctly, could do the trick. More »
