Nothing Says Halloween Like a Rock Dude in Makeup

Posted Fri Oct 30, 2009 6:52pm PDT by Shawn Amos in GetBack

My kids want me to dress up as The Hulk for Halloween. They must like the irony of a 140-pound black dude pretending to be Lou Ferrigno. I'd rather go as Ziggy Stardust or get my wife, kids and me to dress up as KISS. Marilyn Manson would be the perfect costume if I wasn't certain it would scar my kids for life. They're fragile like that. I made the mistake of playing them the "Arma-goddamn-motherf**kin-geddon" video a few months ago. They still sleep with the lights on.

Classic rock dudes in makeup never get old. In fact, I'm gonna go out a limb and say that only real dudes wear rock makeup. Rock just sounds better with eyeliner - on Hallloween and every other eve.

Here's a video of some of my favorites for those of you still deciding on your costume. See you 'round the neighborhood tomorrow night.

Instead of seeing a bunch of people dressed up as "rockers" this year for Halloween, everyone was dressed up as Michael Jackson.
