Halloween is my least favorite dress up holiday because it’s so broad: you can be literally anything and you’re on theme. I abhor people asking “so what are you?” Nope. I want a theme and to creatively riff off of that. Alas, I am apparently in the minority and am actually attending a Halloween party this year—well, Hollaween…
In the summer of 2006, I did costume design for a movie called Growing Out while interning at Shape mag and living in Brentwood—so celeb L.A. of me. ALL those clothes you see? I picked ’em out. Designed them, if you will. The movie I worked on is available on Amazon Instant Video ($1.99) and…
The internets have spoken. This is what they’ve chosen. I got to pick any onesie from OnePiece.com, and I let my fb friends decide (check that madness out below). Nearly as soon as I had ordered it from OnePiece.com, my onesie arrived in the mail. It’s too effing hot to wear even a lightweight onesie in…
$3 barbacoa salad with guacamole, please.
My jellyfish costume. I don’t have better photos. It’s hard to capture underwater sea creatures in their natural habitat. Halloween is not my favorite costume day.

My movie opens today in LA! So I’m a little biased: I did all the costume design for Growing Out, so obviously it’s the best movie ever. But it is a seriously good movie, fun and scary, weird and smart … it’s pretty cool, and worth checking out. (Click here to buy it from amazon…
Tonight we went to the preview party of the Settlement Home Garage Sale. My parents have been going for something ridiculous like 18 years, my brother and I have been going for at least six. This year, we brought friends and everyone scored some awesome deals. The bro and I bought five dining room chairs…
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s Halloween. I ended up dressing as Sarah Palin … so didn’t want to, but after four different and unrelated people suggested it, in the end I couldn’t resist. Especially since I owned everything needed except the fake glasses, so how much easier can you get? Anyway, plenty of lists exist for…
Last year I couldn’t think of anything clever enough, so for Halloween I went as my dog. She’s white with a huge black spot on her eye, so I wore all white, painted a huge black spot on my eye, and wore her collar and leash around my neck (at least people got a kick…
