Words by Bertie Katz

I think it was Regina George who once said that: ‘in girl world, Halloween is the one night a year a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it’. 

Then she got hit by a bus or something.

If better informed, what she could’ve said was that, in gay world, Halloween is the one night a year you can show off your brain, your culturally-relevent-emotionally-intelligent-ironically-online-too-niche-for-your-own-good brain. The one night you can prove to your instagram followers you’re more than just a pretty face, you’re a pretty face that understands the nuance of the covid conscious lesbian bar. 

The queer community has forever been pulling together the best, most outrageously niche costumes for Halloween, and we’re here to make sure this year will be no exception. 

PrEP, on Troye Sivan’s Tongue

What is sexier than Troye Sivan? Safe sex. 

We’ve all seen his new FF music video, voted yearner of the year. But some viewers may have missed the little blue pill popped on his tongue. And no it isn't viagra or something illicit.

Why not go super niche while also spreading vital public awareness, and dress up as the PrEP on his tongue? You could dress it down with a simple blue morph suit, or dress it up with a blue gimp suit. Maybe your friend could even go as the Mistr PrEP bottle too?

Cameron Diaz in The Counselor

If you’ve been on twitter in the past few weeks, you’ve seen this clip of Cameron Diaz from The Counselor. 

All we need is a 2008 studded leather jacket, eyeliner, a Robyn style side part wig, and a navy hood.

Grindr crashing at the Republican National Convention 

Conceptual. Theatrical. Chaotic. Pure Shakespeare. I’m sure you’ve heard how our least favourite DL demographic (allegedly) managed to crash Grindr - for the second time running - at the Republican National Convention last month. If you don’t laugh you'll cry. So dress up as an injured, exhausted Grindr after a crash and laugh!
