Insta-Halloween Hawaii
October 23, 2012

I went to the Aloha Tower Halloween Party, “Crazy, Sexy, Ghoul,” here in Honolulu on Friday night, recycling my costume from last year:

thereafterish, Lady Gaga White Rabbit, White Rabbit Halloween Costume, Halloween Honolulu

Outfit details. Aside from accessories, everything I’m wearing are actual everyday clothes I wear, so I get maximum use.

More outfit detail (was too lazy to put blazer and shoes back on).


thereafterish, Lady Gaga White Rabbit, White Rabbit Halloween Costume, Halloween Honolulu

Costume in Context: Asian Alice followed the White Rabbit down the hole and ran into the Gangnam Style Mad Hatter along the way.

The Lady Gaga White Rabbit

Proving such an expensive costume to put together, I plan on wearing it for several years, at least. Here are some detail photos of the costume:

Better light for the makeup. My normal smile/smirk looks uncannily akin to Duck Face. :(

Vintage rabbit?

In love with this Lady Gaga-inspired white lace rabbit ears headpiece.

Who’s under that lace mask? Lady Gaga?

Swan Clothing sock garters, “double bagged.” Gives a more sexy, interesting dimension and texture to my costume. Esp since it was too hot to wear thigh highs.

The mask under the mask. I’ll re-do the makeup and give you better detail shots.


(Detail pics from last year)

After about 6 hours of wear, and constantly readjusting my veil and pulling it up and down to make sure I could see, my makeup wore off by the time I got home. I’ll make sure to re-do the makeup sometime this week and get better pictures.

My favorite shots of the evening (more to come):

Gaga White Rabbit + Green Man. Surprisingly, he was the only Green Man there! A+

Goth KPOP princess + Lady Gaga White Rabbit. My gorgeous neighbor CK before we partied.

The cutest (albiet completely inebriated) Asian Harry Potter + Lady Gaga White Rabbit.

Costume in Context: White Rabbit + Mad Hatter + Queen of Hearts. She designed and handmade their costumes herself. Impressive!

Lady Gaga White Rabbit + Sexy Steve Urkel = WIN.

But there are still eight more days before Halloween actually gets here. I don’t think I can do Lady Gaga White Rabbit two parties in a row on such a small Island…

thereafterish, ootd, team zissou halloween costume, team zissou costume, honolulu halloween

Interviewer: “What is the scientific purpose of killing the shark?” Steve: “Revenge.”

I toyed around with the idea of going as a Team Zissou cadet to the next Halloween Party. But the sweat suit pieces are too hot to wear in Hawaii without sweating balls all night, especially at a raucous indoor venue. I just kept the red cap in case I can find a light blue cotton shirt and pants to use instead of trackies.

I’m also toying with the idea of putting together an ensemble of a Clockwork Orange droog. All I need are a white top, white pants (leggings), a bowler hat and a cane. Those are easy to find, and all pieces save for the cane would be wearable in everyday life after the spooky holiday has passed.

What are you wearing for Halloween? DO SHARE!
