A Lady Gaga Halloween

I have always been a huge fan of Halloween. Over the years I've had some pretty awesome costume. Whether I was a bag of jelly beans, Tinker Bell, or the Hamburglar, I've always had a good time. But I've also had some not so great ones in the mix as well (aka the year I dressed like an old man). Well this year, I think I nailed my costume right on the head. You can be the judge.

I've never been one to master a celebrity look-a-like. I've been told that I have similar features to a Madonna with her 80s retro glam or a Scarlett Johanson (which I really don't see). But nevertheless, nothing remotely remarkable. So for the past year, I have been planning on being Lady Gaga, the latest pop/dance sensation to top the charts. The artist known for her extreme, over the top outfits and super catchy dance mixes. Of course I waited until the last minute to pull it all together, but I honestly don't regret any of my decisions. My biggest worry of the night was if people would know who I was. I really didn't want ANYONE second guessing my costume and who I was trying to imitate. Well to my surprise, EVERYONE I came across was like, "HEY! It's Lady Gaga! Sweet Costume! I can't believe how much you look a-like. You look EXACTLY like her!!"

I've honestly never been asked by so many strangers for my picture before or to pose with them in their picture. Crazily enough, I was even asked for my autograph! Everyone was like you really do look like her...it's incredible!

So thanks to my new super-bleached blonde hair (which everyone thought was a wig and still do for that matter as I stroll through the streets) , blunt-cut bangs, my zebra print stilettos, fingerless black lace gloves, awesome shiny pink-metallic hoodie from American Apparel, black sunglasses, and simple black tights, I mastered this Halloween like never before. It's going to be tough to top this next year.
