I do love getting dressed up in costumes every year because it gives a chance for me to show my truly weird self. I told myself that I would not wait until the last minute to get my costume together, but that did not happen. Come Friday around 5 p.m. I still had no costume picked out yet. So I got online and searched around and ran across a costume I could recreate with minimal effort and costs. As a fan of 1990s movies and Jim Carrey, I naturally was drawn to one of my favorite movies, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. I decided on recreating the rehab scene within the movie.
In order to pull off this costume, I only needed two things: the shirt and the tutu. The funny part about the shirt I used is it is actually part of a scrubs uniform from a good girl friend of mine whom is a nursing major. The shirt fit so tight that I could move my arms above shoulder level. The tutu was the easiest part to find because my housemate picked it up for me at a Halloween store when he went out costume shopping.
Even though this movie was produce in 1994 and was fairly popular, a lot of people had no idea whom I was. I kept getting asked if I was a fairy or something along those lines. On the other hand, the people who did recognize me from the movie absolutely loved and adored my costume.
Until Next Time,
Matt
