I love what ThatCostumeGirl is doing over on her costume blog.
This week, she provides an excellent tutorial on How to Make an Elf Costume - with no sewing required! All the bases are covered: The shoes, the outfit and hat. Very helpful! And she looks terrific.
Best of all is her Elf Dance video that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. I love it! What a great way to have fun with costumes and spread holiday cheer. Well done, TCG!
Do any of you watch the TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother? The cast has done something funny again, this time in a photo-op that celebrates “The Best of 2008.”
Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigon, Josh Radnor and Jason Segel wear some great costumes, and as EW puts it, “reenact some of the year’s most memorable moments…memorably!”
Indiana Jones
Sex and the City
The V.P. Debate: Sarah Palin and Joe Biden
Michael Phelps and the 2008 Olympic Relay Team
The Jonas Brothers
These pictures crack me up! What a fun and original way to promote their TV show and celebrate the end of the year. Well done!
Don’t leave your car out of the fun this holiday season. Dress it up in an Elf Car Costume! Simply attach the weather-proof elf ears to the windows, and the elf hat to the front grill of your car, and presto! You’ll have the most festive car in town.
Yes, I know Jim Carrey is a comedic kind of guy, and he’s worn crazy costumes before, but check out these hilarious production stills from the Yes Man, coming to theater’s Friday, December 19th.
There’s something so ridiculous about seeing Jim Carrey in a Harry Potter costume, isn’t there? But, I guess when you say “yes” to EVERYTHING, you’re going to end up in costume at some point or another.
Here’s a peek at the trailer. I can’t wait to see this, it looks pretty freakin’ funny, wouldn’t you say? (the answer to that is “YES,” by the way).
The video below is very odd. Which makes it perfect for MyDisguises.
Someone in a bacon costume battles someone in a mayonnaise costume - in a tub full of a 6,000 lbs of mayonnaise! Because everyone knows that bacon and mayo are bitter rivals, right?
Batman and the Joker team up to fight back pain in Better Living with B & J. It’s nice to see that two enemies can put aside their differences to make the world a better place.
Thanks to SBlakely for the tip.
Update (12-03-08) -
I didn’t realize that there are a ton of these Dark Knight PSA videos. These are funny, enjoy!
Sick of the same old traditional Thanksgiving food? Here, impressionist Ricky Butler, teaches you how to have a hearty Thanksgiving dinner with classic Napoleon Dynamite flair…enjoy a tasty turkey quesa-DILLA!
Imagine the worst Thanksgiving…ever. Would it be having to endure Aunt Nancy’s dusty stuffing and incessant chatter? Or, your sister’s bratty kids who use your body as their personal jungle gym?
I think the guys at Happy Birthday Harris Malden still have you beat. In their short film, Revenge of the Gobbler, created for Indy Mogul’s BackyardFX Show, these guys give you serious cause to consider just where your Thanksgiving Turkey came from! Props on the Special FX!
It’s hard to describe the Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show. The show is bright and colorful, totally silly and has great costumes. They have a giant Panda, a Unicow (unicorn cow), Cownicorn (cow unicorn) and the host, Kiko, is a fun-loving Japanese woman who can never correctly pronounce anyone’s name.
This show is a very popular Youtube series. And if it doesn’t make sense to you, don’t worry, it’s not supposed to.
TheSmokingGun has a great mug shot on their website. Apparently, this guy got arrested on Halloween while wearing a prisoner costume. How funny.
This is the only photo, but according to the police report, his friends who were also arrested were described as “a female witch and a guy dressed as Jason from the “Friday the 13th” movies, and one man was wearing a coconut bikini top and Hawaiian leis.”
Sounds like we missed a great party at the police station. Ah, the irony.
