Kristina and Tara are Betty and Veronica!

Kristina and I have often talked about how fun it would be to do a “Betty and Veronica” shoot together. We both read the Archie comics while growing up, and although we may not agree with the girls always fighting over the same guy, we do have fond memories of the comics. When BuyCostumes.com offered to send us some Betty and Veronica costumes so we could finally do our shoot, we literally  jumped at the chance. Take a peek at our version of the characters below–one where they can just hang out and have fun without the distraction of stupid ol’ Archie–but first check out Kristina’s behind-the-scenes video!

Sexy Shark Pics

You asked, you shall receive. Out of all of the ridiculous Halloween costumes out there, you voted to see me as a sexy shark. I took a trip down to the Seattle Aquarium and my hot tub with my lovely and talented friend Liz Leo and we took some epic pics. Fun side note: the waterfront’s annual “Trick or Treat” day was going on while I was down there, so we were doing everything in our power to shield my costume from children and not draw too much attention to ourselves. I’m pretty sure we succeeded in not scarring anyone for life.

Enjoy! And remember, you can get this and tons of other ridiculously sexy costumes at BuyCostumes.com.

“Sexy” Halloween Costumes 2012

Every year, I have a good ol’ time putting together a list of my favorite “sexy” Halloween costumes that are available to purchase. The past two years, Buy Costumes has been awesome enough to help me up the ante: I post the most ridiculous “sexy” costumes, you all vote on your favorite, and they send me the winner to do a little photo shoot with. You can see the results from last year’s here. So take a look and let me know in the comment which costume you want to see me try to make work in a photo shoot. I’ll pick the winning costume Friday morning (tomorrow!) so we can get the costume shipped out in time for a pre-Halloween shoot.

Without Further Ado…

Sexy Food

Do these costumes make you an aphrodisiac?

Chinese Hot Sauce 

We all know this is supposed to be Sriracha. And I guess the sauce is literally hot, so this is more reasonable than most sexy food costumes. Plus, JAUNTY HAT.

Sexy Banana

Yeah, there are tons of Sexy Banana puns to be said in this costume, but I would just lie on the ground and hope desperately that someone slips on me.

Instant Noodles

Nothing says “I like lazy, unemployed men” more than Instant Noodles. Guaranteed to get you a date. Or heck, pair up with Ms. Sriracha up there for a great time!

Sexy Characters

Your favorite characters, just not quite as you remember them…

 Sassy Grumpy Bear

If Care Bears weren’t sexy enough for you on the own, maybe dressing up as the grumpiest one will do the trick.

 Storybook Beauty

What you don’t see from this costume is the moment right before when Beast ripped off half of Belle’s dress. Was it anger? A fit of fiery passion? An accident while waltzing? We’ll never know.

Adventure Annie

…Or, as you and I call her, “Slutty Indiana Jones.” The costume comes with the whip, but not the hat. Sexy indeed!

 Miss Leatherface

Nothing like murder and cannibalism to get your heart racing.

 Miss Liberty

Pair this with a red-headed doll and a Ken doll and you’ve got yourself a giant (sexy) weeping angel! Also, the picture lies a bit. The only thing that lights up is the torch. Also, this poor girl looks cold. Someone give her some pants.

Miscellaneous

These sexy costumes were too good to not include!

 Sexy Shark

This costume wins for making me laugh the most. Also, every Shark Week, I’d totally bring this out.

She’s Dynamite

I don’t think you can wear this without covering yourself in wires and looking really concerned.

 Sketchy Sally

I don’t know what to make of this costume. It looks like a little girls’ dress, it’s a child’s toy… It just doesn’t seem right.

Rocket

I’m going to go out on a limb and say this isn’t a rocket. This is an astronaut. A very cold but well-liked astronaut. I actually think it’s kinda cute. Let’s face it, I’ve worn less in the face of NASA.

Don’t forget to vote for your favorite in the comments! It’s always interesting to see what my readers find the most sexy… ;-)
