For my Halloween 2023 costume, I used my twisted sense of humor. I actually planned this costume for a couple of years. Read about my adventures below…

Halloween 2023: The Big Idea

So a couple of years ago, I got an idea for what could be an excellent costume. My plan was to unveil it for Halloween 2022, but I decided to postpone until next year.

I wanted a dragon. And not just any dragon. A red and black dragon. For a good reason. Really.

In case you haven’t guessed yet, there are pop culture references involved.

The Outfit

This one is easy. I knew that all I needed was a red shirt with black fishnet over it to give the impression of scales. So I found those two items right away.

Wings

Well, this isn’t hard. Choosing the best wings for my costume was the hardest part. There’s so many beautiful wings to choose from!

Regardless, I stuck with my red and black theme and decided to splurge a little. Is it worth it? Yes, absolutely worth every dollar.

( I would say cent, but Canada no longer makes cents…)

Horns

I kinda cheated with horns, but I don’t have any regrets. Besides, I knew what was really going to make my costume work is…

Mask

I still have the mask I found, and I’ll probably always cherish it. Finding a color-matching mask, however, turned out to be an incredible adventure.

There are plenty of decent dragon masks, regardless of cost, but so many of them look closer to a dinosaur. So I kept searching for months until I found the exact right mask.

My horns are a bit dwarfed by the mask, but I don’t care. Worth it.

And so I present to you…

Halloween 2023 Costume

I call it How I Met Your Mother, Game of Thrones style.

Until next time!
