    Costume: Julia Child (or, Meryl Streep as Julia Child)
    What You'll Need: Mouse-brown wig with short loose curls, blouse with a somewhat suggestive neckline, skirt (on the tighter side, above knees), apron (or kitchen towel tucked into skirt), strands of pearls, pearl earrings, wooden spoon and other kitchen tools in apron pocket. Extra: Prop glass of wine.
    Works Best For: Tall women or men who are not skinny.
    Bonus: Annoy everyone around you by speaking the entire evening in Child’s distinctive hooty falsetto.

    Hm, I like the first one, but I worry it would just come across as "Puffy Patrick Bateman." Or, worse, I used to work at McKinsey, so "Puffy 4-Years-Ago Me." Eeek, maybe I'll just be a toilet paper mummy again. #halloween

    Costume: The Death of Print Media
    What You'll Need: copies of Gourmet, The New York Times, Elegant Bride, Glamour, Cookie ...etc. and zombie makeup.
    Works Best For: Anyone still working in print media that hasn't been laid off yet and can afford to buy magazines.

    @TableNein: Or, alternatively, you could make your own copies of the major rags with crayons, just so that the point is made (esp. if you WERE in print media and now are not); kind of poignant I think.

    Nice costume idea, in any case!

    @son of spam: This thread was actually quite an awesome read - Fuckingoldman is indeed a stereotypical jerkface ('You need to get laid'? Hey, Tucker Max called for you, he has an assistant asshat job with your name on it) but Red Vadge - Wowza, that costume means "I hate women"? You're kinda winning the troll wars here, which is impressive.

    Also, those ARE the magazines that got canned from Conde Nast, or are covered in Gawker as having serious budget issues/are hemorrhaging staff members on a very regular basis. I'd take up the sexism with the publishers. #halloween

    The other great thing about Mary Murphy is that when she overshares, it's the highlight of the show that week rather than just being uncomfortable (as it always is on Idol). One of my favorite bits of the series ever was the episode when Mary confessed she couldn't feel anything in her face because of all the Botox.

    Mr. Moylan, it's as if you awkwardly eavesdropped on a Wednesday night conversation between me and my husband. I make this same point on a weekly basis--Mary Murphy is the educated, coherent, sober version of Paula with a ridiculous set of pipes. (This woman screams with less effort than Adam Lambert. How is that even possible?) I'm a first time watcher this season, but seeing as Mary's a better version of Paula, Nigel's a way better version of Simon, and the muffin crumbs in my purse are better versions of both Randy and Kara, I don't see how I'll ever go back to American Idol...
