Halloween costume for a female with very short blonde hair

October 30, 2014 6:27 AM

I am a female with short dark blonde hair. It suddenly occurs to me that I need a Halloween costume, but I hate wearing wigs and I'm not going to color my hair. What can I dress up as that makes use of this hairstyle? We've already got Claire Underwood, Switch from The Matrix, Twiggy, and Patricia from the movie Breathless on the list--so we don't need those.

My husband is possibly going as Thor, and we'd be down with a couples superhero costume if anyone has any ideas.

I know you have blonde hair, but could you pull off going as Toni Stark, i.e. rule 63 Tony Stark or maybe pencil on his iconic beard and mustache and go as Toni Stark?

Best answer: How about Tintin, the Belgian cartoon character--with or without dog Snowy. Here he is in raincoat. Two hundred million copies of the Tintin books in print. Whether or not Tintin would work as a partner with Thor situation, hard to say.

Lena Dunham?

You could also go as Lady Thor, or just gender-bent Thor. If you're into the idea of a Marvel costume but Captain Marvel isn't up your alley.

Aaaaand I just read your below the fold. So probably not gender-bent Thor.

What about Captain America?

Best answer: You should also go as Thor.

Lady Bowie, or Tilda Swinton. Which are the same thing, really.

If you're tall, Brienne of Tarth. Or if you're short, Brienne's mini me.
