Sick Sad World

I found the most awesome blog today called Sick Sad World. It contains all things Daria, including the entire playlist from every single episode. It also contains user-submissions of original art and acting inspired by Daria. I'm so stoked to start playing it. I'm also not the only one thinking a Daria-themed Halloween would rule. Here are some of the highlights:

Who didn't?

(I had one manicure ever: Junior Prom. This photo very well may have changed that.)

Dear Daria

Halloween Idea #5

The March Halloween nominee is Daria from the most productive and artistic era of MTV: the 1990s.  I'm thinking Adam could be Trent. He already kind of looks like him. Quinn and Jane Lane costumes would also be no prob...

Pros: easy to make and funny.

Cons: maybe too easy? Adam and I may just end up looking like ourselves with old clothes on?

Only 7 months to go!

UPDATE:

I went as Daria to my friend Sarah's 90s party over the summer. Here are two pics from that night:

Halloween Idea #15

While attending Bonnaroo over the weekend, I had the greatest idea for a Halloween costume: Bonnaroo Attendee. Having just survived another music festival myself, I definitely have the wardrobe ready to go.

Would need:

-Wellington rain boots caked in mud
-Band t-shirt with strategic cut outs revealing an ironically 90s bikini top
-Bandana and oversized sunglasses
-Wristband
-Map/schedule
-Happily dazed look
-Spray tan or fake sunburn
-(Kudos to my friend Norm for providing this idea): iPod in pocket with creepy whisper announcing "molly. molly. molly. shrooms. molly" over and over again in a hushed, yet frantically needy manner.

Only five months to go!

PS: I get to don my Daria idea next month! My friend is having a 90s theme party so I'm excited to dig into the blog's costume vault for ideas! I'll post pics afterwards, for sure.
