Did it just dawn upon you that you don’t have any costume for all the Halloween festivities this upcoming weekend? We’ve compiled some of our last minute costume ideas for your convenience!
The Linsanes or Linsanity – Jeremy Lin’s fan club
While you COULD go as Jeremy Lin – we think it would be much more fun (and perhaps, believable, since there are some die-hard J-Lin fans out there) to go as the Taiwanese American’s groupies – or what we would like to call them – the Linsanes – or Linsanity. Just make some clever signs (“Be My VaLINtine!” “You Drive Me Linsane!”), wear a shirt with Lin’s face taped to it, even go as far as putting face paint if you want to!
Totoro
While there are some intense cosplayers out there who have made great versions of Totoro costumes – there are some of us who either don’t have as enough talent, the time, or both! Here’s a great video tutorial on how to create a Totoro hoodie dress from YouTube user Cheschiiire:
Domo
Domo is another loved character – and here’s another easy tutorial from Youtube User Eva Chung:

Halloween Art: Monster Nail Art
Who says the focus has to be on your costume this Halloween? You could be quite the ghoul this upcoming Halloween with some spooktacular nail art! Check out this great video from YouTube user IHaveACupcake as she teaches you how to create some awesome nail art featuring some iconic monsters. Put on form-fitting black dress, don a wig with red lips – and you’re good to go!
lol well actually, “insane” is an ableist word. but it’s no surprise to me that people picked up on “Linsanity” so fast. The costume could still be pulled off without offending disabled folks, though! Next year, just be mindful about your signage.
