What's Spooky About Champagne? Win A Westin Brunch!
It's still a little under two weeks until Halloween, but no harm in a bit of advance planning. After all, you don't want to put yourself in the position I usually find myself in, cobbling together a "costume" based around what I was wearing when I left the house that morning. (Sample excuse for a costume: pulling the hood on my jacket really tightly over my face and claiming I'd come as Kenny from South Park.) We've already had a look at some of this year's biggest parties, but what about winning a place at a Halloween-themed champagne brunch?
Our friends at the Westin Chaoyang have offered up a voucher for two for their Spooky Bubbalicious brunch on Sunday, October 30, and they want one of you to win it. To have a chance of winning, all you need to do is leave a comment at the bottom of this post telling us:
What's the weirdest Halloween costume you've ever seen?
Closing date for entries: Noon on Thursday, October 20. We're judging this one scientifically: The winner will be the person who makes us laugh the hardest.
Now if you're going to win this Spooky Bubbalicious brunch voucher, you're going to need a costume, so why not proceed directly to our roundup of costume ideas and where to find them in Beijing? Actually, I could probably be using a look at that too ...

Re: What's Spooky About Champagne? Win A Westin Brunch!
Hmm, let's see..
One year I came across a couple dressed as Adam & Eve. They came to the party just wearing a few leaves and had everyone looking when they walked in.
Another year, a girl came dressed as a Q-tip. She glued cotton balls onto her shoes and hat, and used mustard yellow paint to color some of the cotton balls on her hat. It was gross but original, haha
Thanks!
I was at a party when I noticed a giant box of Frosted Flakes mixing it up with the standard vampires, ninjas and nurses you would find at any typical Halloween bash. I thought to myself, “How lame!” until the box of Frosted Flakes turned toward me and revealed red paint splatter exploding from a novelty axe planted in the image of Tony the Tiger. Year after year of running into classic characters from Hollywood horror films on Halloween, this was the first time that a “Cereal Killer” costume had me laughing. Albeit very tragic for Tony, it was a grrrrrrreat costume!!!

The scene: Santa Barbara Halloween,2008
The costume: A man, dressed as the Pope, with robes partially lit on fire by his friends, jumped from a balcony onto the grass below to extinguish it.
A man, dressed as the POPE, lit ON FIRE, JUMPING FROM A BALCONY.
Image seared into my mind.
The degeneracy of it all becomes funnier when you over think it.
To put the overall degeneracy of Halloween in Santa Barbara into perspective, there was an armored personnel carrier with machine gun parked in the middle of the street to keep order.

I went as a bloody maxi-pad one year. But the funniest?...a room-mate of mine went as a McDonald's Ball Pit. So literally he was naked sans Speedo suspenders that were attached to a mini ball pit, covering his nether regions. One year a bunch of us went as a McDonald's Value Meal set too!
Re: What's Spooky About Champagne? Win A Westin Brunch!
My favourite was the guy I saw dressed as a stereotypical hipster, right down to the hideous patterned sweater and ironic vintage tee. I went over to compliment him and said "hey man, great costume!", to which he replied (as I'm sure you will have guessed by now), "what costume?" *sigh*
