“Ukrainian Rhythmic Gymnastics Team” gets me every time. God bless you, Chris. You beautiful bastard.

Cow Lady has to be photo-shop. Either that or that was done by an expert makeup artist with a sick sense of humor.
October 23, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Either way, I imagine someone in Japan has already proposed marriage. Twice.
October 27, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Cow Lady IS Photoshop and is by an artist named Nexus-T. It IS supposed to be porn. You can scrounge through some of his other stuff at http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://projectp.tfcentral.com/ should you want to for any reason (I won’t ask).

I wonder if that little girl has even seen Gone with the Wind…
October 24, 2012 at 9:47 am
Follow it up with Ben Hur and you won’t have to do anything with her till she’s hit her teen years.
October 23, 2012 at 4:17 pm
That last one…am I supposed to be aroused?
Probably not, but, well…she IS rather cute…
October 23, 2012 at 4:21 pm
That last one was hard to nail down, but I’m pretty sure it’s the love child of Goat Boy and Dana Carvey’s President-Clinton-Nurses-a-Puppy character. Way to commit.
October 24, 2012 at 7:55 am
My guess was Cow from Cow & Chicken.
October 23, 2012 at 4:22 pm
Sarah, I totally have a Pam fetish. (Call me)

I may be stealing this for my costume this year. Need to find a sweater…..but otherwise, I’m golden….LOVE Pam…
October 24, 2012 at 6:23 pm
I just went out today and bought everything I need to be Pam because of this post. I wasn’t going to do a costume this year, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to say and do awful things as part of my costume. All that’s left is to find a dolphin.

#8 could also be categorized under “Things that are not Steampunk”.
October 24, 2012 at 2:12 am
Hmm… don’t you think John thought of the same thing, either when he conceived of the costume or when he dressed up or when he emailed the pic?
October 23, 2012 at 4:38 pm
Skeletor gets me every time. I want all the characters to show up here on Regretsy. I know we could do it. Who’s in?
October 23, 2012 at 4:54 pm
If we don’t do something about the pathetic lack of occasions on which to wear costumes in this country, the terrorists will have won. (not including people dressed as terrorists but, ironically, including terrorists dressed up as something else)
October 23, 2012 at 5:17 pm
Yes! Why is Hallowe’en only once a year?
October 23, 2012 at 5:45 pm
It’s Halloween every day in my world sweetie….
October 23, 2012 at 9:51 pm
Pics or it didn’t happen! Naughty pic or it happpened in vain.
October 24, 2012 at 11:53 am
I’ve suggested to my co-workers that we should have cosplay Friday instead of casual Friday because it’s a software company and we’re always casual.
October 23, 2012 at 5:23 pm
A good friend (of Asian Indian descent) came to our Halloween party one year as a terrorist. He folded a turban like his dad taught him and rolled up three sheets of red construction paper and attached them to a car charger, with the part that sticks into the lighter as the button. We fell about the place, but he declined to go out trick or treating with the kids.
October 23, 2012 at 9:52 pm
I salute him because he sort of fought for our freedom!
October 23, 2012 at 5:32 pm
The sexy(?)-cow-mutant costume is strongly reminiscent of a scene from Troma’s classic “Tromeo and Juliet”. The scene where Juliet mutates into a cow.
October 23, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Im a ware cow … moo moo moo
sorry could not resist and yes it is A REAL song I herd it on the Dr.demento show.
October 24, 2012 at 12:21 pm
Heh… “herd” it.
October 23, 2012 at 5:37 pm
I have to declare my allegiance to zombie Ira Glass.
I wish we were all required to wear a costume to work one day a month. Everyone except maybe my ob/gyn on appointment day.
October 23, 2012 at 9:55 pm
Ob/gyn doctors dressed as fetuses get no love.
October 23, 2012 at 6:01 pm
I think I partied with that Amish guy. But that was in college and there were substantial drugs so maybe not.
October 23, 2012 at 6:52 pm
That cow woman looks like something Patricia Paccinini could have done. She does some pretty disturbing/lifelike stuff like that.
October 23, 2012 at 6:52 pm
Note to self: must go to costume party this year.
October 23, 2012 at 7:32 pm
The shark and Bethany Hamilton costumes are just sick and low! I love them. God those are offensively awesome. If I ever have kids, those are the kinda kids I’d have.
Though I gotta say… zombie Ira Glass is a damn close second. But that may be only because I’ve been marathoning archived episodes of This American Life lately. Zombies are old hat after all.
October 23, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Why do I suddenly have a craving for Doublemint gum?
October 23, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Well that last one gives a whole new meaning to “Reverse Cowgirl”.
And ol’ “Pumpkin Butt” there… at first I thought they were facing the camera but had been beheaded!
October 24, 2012 at 1:45 am
omg thank you! thought they were boobs falling out of the shirt…so confused.
October 23, 2012 at 8:33 pm
I’ve found my costume! I have everything for the Scarecrow, including big ass cheeks! All I need is some Boehner Orange makeup.
October 23, 2012 at 9:58 pm
Heh-heh, you said “Boehner”.
October 23, 2012 at 9:24 pm
I REALLY wanted to be Hipster Thor
this year, but Thor costumes are ridiculously expensive for something so flimsy and poorly-made. 
October 23, 2012 at 10:01 pm
Make it happen in your artistic ability! After all, the good Lord wouldn’t have made the glitter if he didn’t want you to shake (and glue) it.
October 24, 2012 at 5:56 am
I’m leaving for a convention tomorrow at which I will cosplay Lady Thor in a handmade costume. You can totally make your own! (Although the Pabst would cost extra).
October 24, 2012 at 9:33 am
My suggestion for Hipster Thor is one of those ski hats with earflaps that you would stick wings onto the sides of; a red flannel sheet or blanket for the cape (plaid flannel possibly better); the glasses; sneakers; and – wait for it – a breastplate made of flattened PBR cans! Additionally you could empty a sixpack of PBR’s but leave them in the rings, jam a stick up in the middle and there’s your Mjolnir!!
October 24, 2012 at 9:54 am
Yeah… last year my boyfriend went as Thor. He wore a viking hat, a Thor shirt, carried around a hammer (an actual hammer mind you), and a flashlight. He shined it down on anyone that looked at him like he was a weirdo (me) and said “Thor has called lightening down upon you!”. No, he wasn’t drunk and no, is no longer in charge of his own costuming.
October 24, 2012 at 4:36 pm
I think that was really creative and kinda awesome. He could have made a better effort on the hammer, but using the flashlight to “call lightening” was clever.
October 23, 2012 at 10:35 pm
Is it weird that the only things that bother me about the last picture are 1) the reflection in the mirror doesn’t add up, and 2) she seems to be using a curling iron but her hair isn’t curled?
October 24, 2012 at 2:18 am
How does the reflection not add up?
October 24, 2012 at 9:31 am
It’s backward in a way that a mirror image would NOT be backward. You only see her back, when you should also see her sides if the angle really is what it appears to be.
October 24, 2012 at 10:16 am
Maybe there’s multiple mirrors in the bathroom? I have multiple mirrors in my bathroom, when I need to do something to the back of my hair, I use them to see the back like that. She seems to be doing something to the ends of the back of her hair with the curling iron (see how part of it isn’t straight?).
October 24, 2012 at 10:19 am
And actually looking at the pic again, it does seem to be multiple mirrors and not one long mirror. She’s probably looking into yet another mirror which allows her to see her back.
October 24, 2012 at 1:32 pm
Yeap, the mirror in which we see her (the one with the plug) just reflects another mirror. I guess that’s the one showing a towel, and if it is placed vertically to the first one then everything seems to make sense.
Where is the architecture student who miscalculated the distances in Bronc’s seminude btw? I’m still curious about whether she passed the course
November 6, 2012 at 10:25 am
He, actually, and yes–because no one teaches or understands perspectival drawing anymore.
No, this picture has me utterly perplexed. However, I think that the mirror turns a 90-degree corner where the metal coping is…?
October 24, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Silly me, the plug is planted in the middle of the second mirror as well. Now the question is why are there *three doors* leading to this room?
October 24, 2012 at 4:25 pm
My guess would be one is a closet, one leads to a bedroom, and one leads to a halfway or some other such access from a main part of the house. When I was a kid my best friend had a bathroom like that. I always felt awkward as fuck using it.
October 24, 2012 at 12:39 am
This all made me think: Wouldn’t it be great if we could use cartoons and funny pictures for avatars instead of our driver’s license photos like we do now?
October 24, 2012 at 4:01 pm
You mean you don’t?
I have a friend whose photo is so bad he shredded his license, and says he’d rather be fined for driving without a license than show that picture to anyone.
October 24, 2012 at 2:09 am
Oh how I wish I understood all of the cultural references!!
October 24, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Me too. Who, for example (pardon my ignorance), is Pam?
And major kudos to the Roy Lichenstein get up.
October 25, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Pam is from Archer, an adult cartoon on Comedy Central. You’re not into adult cartoons? Well, me…I’ve seen them once in a while…when I’m looking for, a,…documentaries. Yeah, documentaries, that’s it.
October 24, 2012 at 5:26 am
Holy shitsnacks, the Pam costume was wonderful.
October 24, 2012 at 6:30 am
That last one still freaks the fuck out of me. And the Spartan needs to come trick-or-treating at my place.
Me? Meh, I’ll probably do a faux-Hefner in my fancy robe. I’m going to a burlesque show that night, no giving out candy for me.
October 24, 2012 at 9:09 am
I just created an account (after literally YEARS of silent lurking) to say that that Leeloo Dallas Multipass costume is phenomenal, & I am in awe of Pietarian for making it, & Fifth Element is an amazing & underrated movie.
…that is all.
October 24, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Not many people are aware of that movie. Problem is, you have to see it multiple times to “get” all the obscure references!
October 24, 2012 at 9:49 am
I’m in a complete state of adoration for the Pam costume!
October 24, 2012 at 11:04 am
Geez people, am I too old, or what? The last one is a tribute to Even Cowgirls Get The Blues by Tom Robbins.
October 24, 2012 at 4:04 pm
And here I was just thinking it was a tribute to cows in general!
It is quite wonderful, although I’m still not sure if it’s a lady wearing a cow face or vice versa.
October 24, 2012 at 11:25 am
Exactly how does Zombie Ira Glass differ from NPR Ira Glass? Well, maybe the Zombie Ira Glass does not incessantly mention ‘Mike Birbiglia’s Sleepwalk With Me (coming soon to a download near you.)
October 24, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Or maybe it’s beacause Ira Glass is now a zombie that TAL has been given over to endless repetitions of Birbiglia’s third rate effort. I mean, if you were going to make film of any one of the thousands of much better TAL stories, wouldn’t you have chosen the guy in the well or the two midwestern girls switched at birth? Even the Apple factory imbroglio is more entertaining than a depressed guy who can’t sleep.
October 24, 2012 at 4:58 pm
My kid was Raiden from the Mortal Kombat movie last year. I was really proud of her costume
October 25, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Your child is amazaballs.
October 25, 2012 at 11:08 am
Pietarian
owns my “fifth apendage”.
Actually that is an awesome porn title.
October 25, 2012 at 1:20 pm
Pam….I would get all Cyril Figgis over that.
October 26, 2012 at 6:51 am
The Skants one looks like an attempt at a HK costume, to me.
October 26, 2012 at 10:23 pm
I spy a bottle of Burrowing Owl in the skants photo! Keepin’ it classy as always, Regretsy.
October 27, 2012 at 4:56 pm
SO LIKE, I was Skeletor last year. I didn’t have a party to go to, and after I got dressed up, no more trick-or-treaters came to our door. About a week later I found out I was pregnant. My daughter was born in early July. So I decided that this year I would reprise my role as Skeletor and make her a little He-Man outfit. We were in a Halloween parade today!
I’d have made a She-Ra outfit for my husband, but he was doing a zombie run in Maryland.
