Most of us like to dress up like our favorite fantasy character for Halloween. I think I went trick-or-treating as Wonder Woman three years in a row when I was a kid, until my mom quietly retired that costume in the off season. A few years ago, I found a grown up Wonder Woman costume and relived my glory days. But what if you’re a glamorous burlesque icon in real life- how do you dress up for Halloween? Dita Von Teese says she’s going as a “normal girl” this year- complete with self tanner and jeans. It’s brilliant- no one will ever recognize her!
Dita Von Teese is going to dress up as a “normal girl” for Halloween (31.10.08).
The burlesque beauty - who is famous for her pale skin, red lipstick, raven black hair and love of vintage clothing - jokes no-one will recognise her if she makes herself look ordinary.
Speaking in an interview to be shown on Channel 4’s T4 show ‘Frock Me’ on Sunday (26.10.08), Dita said: “For Halloween, I’m going to look like a normal girl, put some bronzer on, some spray tan on and wear some jeans. People will ask me where my costume is!
“I would never do this in normal life, that’s why I’ll do it at Halloween. It’s a bit funny and people think I’m not wearing a costume but I really am.”
Dita recently revealed she has vowed never to wear jeans, because she prefers “expressing” herself through 40s-style corsets and dresses.
She said: “I’ve always felt that clothes are an important way of expressing how you want the world to see you.
“I don’t look down on people who wear jeans and T-shirts, but ever since I was a little girl, I picked out my own clothes.”
I’m having a frustrating time finding a costume this year, since I’m six months pregnant. It seems like the only female costumes available anymore are slutty ones. Even little girls’ costumes seem more than a little racy and not at all age appropriate. When did that happen? Anyway, I sure hope someone gets a picture of Dita in her jeans and fake tan. I would love to see that.

I went as a nun when I was preggers. It’s funny, ya know?
-
I was the Virgin Mary when I was pregnant with my first. I rocked the blue veil.
-
You could dress like a man with a beer belly. That would make me laugh, but it doesn’t take too much for me.
-
When I was pregnant, I went as a hayseed in overalls the first year, and as a Princess with a Very High waisted dress the second. It minimized the baby belly, while still looking nice. I don’t like slutty costumes, October is a chilly month!
And Dita as a normal girl, have to see pictures of that! She is always so glamorous, it is hard to imagine her looking like an average person.

“I would never do this in normal life, that’s why I’ll do it at Halloween. It’s a bit funny and people think I’m not wearing a costume but I really am.”
Not exactly a wit, is she? But yeah, count me in when the pictures come out.

Definitely one of the more interesting celebrity costumes I’ve heard of this year.
Unlike, Cindy Crawford’s dressing up as Amy Winehouse, or Gavin and Gwen dressing up as Bacon and Eggs; being “normal” in a pair of jeans is a costume only Dita could pull off. I hope someone catches her in it and snaps a few good pics.

You can use my costume if you want. I’m going as Carmen Sandiego. Carmen could totally be pregnant. With Justin Case (one of her henchmen). Or Where’s Waldo.
-
Why does this woman think she’s so cutting-edge? Going as a ‘normal’ girl - honey several decades ago the way you look now WAS normal. Cripes, what a biter. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
MSat, you could go as a Christmas tree decoration
-
Why not dress in a naughty nurse costume when you’re knocked up? People already know you’re a slut.
(joking, joking for those easily outraged)Dita as a normal girl will be a trip. My best costume was when I went as Bjork (pre-swan dress, so my outfit more hardcore). My hair rocked that year, and everyone got it.

Yeah, when me and my boyfriend went shopping for costumes, we were disheartend by all the sexy/too short/slutty/too tight/gaudy options for me and all the bland options for him. We just found ours though, him and her chess piece costumes!

I love Dita Von Teese, I really do.
Meanwhile, you could totally dress up as Juno, if you want. Skirt over jeans, a hoodie, hair back, and an empty bottle of Sunny-D.

Not exactly a wit, is she?
She’s a milk-pale 50’s glam fetish model 24/7 Lilah, so for her situation ‘normal’ is relative ! -
Ok, I know you all love her but why is she famous again? Because she’s a really good stripper? She’s as irrelevant as Paris Hilton. Next.
-
You could go as Britney’s little sister, cutoffs and flipflops, think of the fun you cold have going all out riff raff.
Or as Palin’s daughter. -
I second going as a nun while preggers - I think if I saw a pregnant nun at a party, I’d lose it! I’d even forgo a beer to compliment you on your ensemble.
What’s everyone planning on going as this year?
I’m reprising an old favorite for a night or two preceding the actual event: Alice Cooper in Wonderland. For the main event; Mrs. Mia Wallace, complete with hydrodermic needle and nose bleed. -
She is only interesting as far as her looks. That’s about 5 seconds of interest for me.
NEXT!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had just come out when I was pregnant. I really wanted to dress up as Violet Beauregard. A giant 8 month pregnant blueberry. I still regret not going for it. Maybe if there is a next time:)
-
When 8 months with youngest son, I went as a Doctor. Big, baggy scubes, the blue “hairnet” covering my hair, surgical mask tied around my neck…… it turned out cute, and was comfy enough to chase little ones all night.

Unfortunately, Halloween isn’t celebrated much in the Czech Republic. We are haowever having a costume party to celebrate, which my Czech friends still seem a bit nervous about. I’m making do with the few options I have and going as a witch while my boyfriend is going as a dead Russian snow commando.

How can she be so cruel and hypocritical, I saw her wearing fur and read she has lots of them.
She is a really cruel human being, why doesn’t she just open her eyes and see where that fur comes from.
It’s very sad, and I think one of the cruelest things a human being could possibly do to another living being who is innocent and defenseless. -
nice picture and great article and looking forward to read such blog..
