Nip and Tuck with Tape for Michael Jackson Costumes
Okay, this video is just plain weird, and funny. If you are even thinking of dressing up as the King of Pop, check out this super-speed transformation of a fan who goes from every day girl to a plastic surgery mishap all thanks to a roll of tape. It’s all in good fun and not meant to be disrespectful to one of the most famous singers of all times. We don’t think she’s trying to step on any toes, but it is just plain hysterical what she does to her eyebrows and nose with simple gift wrap tape.
If you want to go all out and dress as Michael Jackson, there are several Halloween costumes on the market. One of the officially licensed Michael Jackson costumes is the Thriller costume, the famous look from the 80s music video that skyrocket the already famous guy into the stratosphere. The asymmetrical red (faux) leather jacket with black accents and matching pants hit quite a high note. But you won’t be able to moon walk Michael Jackson style unless you have a pair of bright white socks sticking out from your black loafers. Add a relaxed black wig, sunglasses and single white sequined glove and – viola – you have transformed into a super star!
Another Michael Jackson costume that set of a massive trend was the sequined military jacket he wore to the 1984 Grammy Awards. He was a big winner that night and wore this good-luck look in different variations over the years. These military costumes were always over-the-top and often feature epaulettes, lots of trim, buttons and sparkle on the front and often a gilded sash of some sort. Check lots of places you can score Michael Jackson costumes at Costumemachine.com, just in time for Halloween 2011.
A Day for Doppleganging
Have a double, a twin, a mirror image, a doppelganger, a spitting image – who do you look like? Today, April 20th is officially Look-Alike Day and is the perfect opportunity to dress up as someone else. Dress up like a celebrity, sports star or musician whom you think you most resemble or just dress up in matchy-matchy style with your best friend. In fact, you don’t even have to particuarlly look like your “look-alike”, it’s just fun to copycat them on this silly day.
Have you ever had anyone come up to you and mistake you for someone else, ask for your autograph or say “you look just like a young so-and-so”? If you don’t know who to pick, just ask a friend or family member to give you some suggestions on who you bear a resemblance to. If they fall short of ideas, there are actually web sites devoted to helping you identify your celebrity look-alikes – try the “look alike meter” at MyHeritage.com or Facedouble.com. Once you decide who you resemble, or better yet – who resembles YOU, you can pick out the perfect outfit, makeup and accessories to play up the similarities.
Halloween costumes are a great place to start; you’ll find all the famous folks we’re all secretly longing to be. From Marilyn Monroe to Marilyn Manson and George Washington to George Clooney, you can put together a look-alike costume that is sure to make heads turn, jaws drop, and elicit whispers of awe and admiration. If you don’t think you look like another single soul on the planet, just grab a friend and dress up in a pair of the same exact costumes – the two of you can be whomever you please. Or, celebrate Look-Alike Day by suiting up as a set of famous twins; costume ideas include Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, and Fred and George Weasley from Harry Potter. If you actually are an identical twin, perhaps you’d like to just skip Look Alike Day and play down the sameness!
If you absolutely adore being a look alike, why limit the transformation to just one day? Celebrity impersonators make a good living entertaining others at parties, grand openings, and other public events dressed as their chosen doppelganger. Some of the most popular celebrities to impersonate, dead or alive, include Elvis, Madonna, Cher, Michael Jackson, and sports starts and presidents. Plenty of Halloween costumes can be found to make a metamorphosis as one of these pop stars or politicians. If you bear a decent resemblance to your double, you can often get the look down pat with a wig and special make-up techniques.
