I have wanted to be Darth Vader for Halloween forever. It’s hard for us women to find a cool costume because most costumes make us look like prostitutes. Which is why I call Halloween… National Hooker Day. Yeh, I know…the French Maid costume from two years ago was an experiment and went with my husband’s Marquis de Sade.
Anyway, I won’t be wearing my usual banana or cow costume for Halloween this year. My son and I are both going to be… Darth Vader. However, I might smack the next person who asks “Why don’t you want to be the good guy?” Seriously, don’t ask this question unless you want people to think you’re the last surviving member of society who has not seen Star Wars. Or you want to spend 30 minutes talking to a Star Wars fan tonight. Anakin was good but he was manipulated into the Dark Side by a smooth talker. He grew angry and dark as Darth Vader because he lost his wife and kids. Anyone see that part? No? Then let me ruin the ending…in the end… Vader overcomes his obstacles, saves Luke, defeats the Empire by sacrificing his own life then hangs out with Obi-Wan and Yoda for eternity. Geeze, how do people ignore something so significant?
Anyway, as for covering up tonight… it’s cold outside. And what women doesn’t already wear this once a week anyway?
You can buy this Princess Leia Slave costume on the StarWars site.
