Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

This week’s assignment for the League: Halloween Costume Ideas

halloween masks

For the past couple of months, the most popular page on Cool & Collected has been a post I wrote last year about how to dress up as Breaking Bad’s Walter White. Who knew! This is the time of year when everyone is scrambling to come up with the perfect costume idea, so I think we should help them out…

—

Remember when Halloween was a big deal? I mean, a BIG deal? What was the most legendary costume you ever wore? What would you dress up as this year?

league logo Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

 

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)

    Wow, forgot to post this up. I talk about potential choices, revisit an old custom Ninja Turtle costume and talk about how Doctor Doom’s body parts clog up my basement storage in this post: http://www.infinitehollywood.com/2012/10/the-league-halloween-costumes.html
