Halloween has its roots in the Celtic harvest holiday of Samhain, a time when the ancient pagans believed the dead can visit the land of the living. Today, the holiday still lives on, but instead of honoring deceased ancestors, we mostly celebrate by dressing as sexy nurses and throwing eggs at the houses of cranky retirees.
But more importantly, Halloween has become a holiday of self expression! Let the neighbors know that you have strong feelings on locally-sourced food by being that lady who hands out apples to trick-or-treaters. Make sure everyone at the party is aware of your poor taste by being that guy who dresses like a too-soon recently-deceased celebrity. Or let complete strangers in on the secret that you are not only a sexy person, but a brave one, with your completely weather-inappropriate skimpy outfit.
Or, demand that the whole world acknowledge the fact that gadgets have a very important role in your life. Like this guy.
Yes, this Halloween you can be an iPod touch: the affordable, half-breed lovechild of the iPhone and iPod. Now, the whole world will be privy to your love for wifi-enabled pocket-sized media (and the fact that you aren’t afraid of being obsolete in three years). Congratulations to you, iPod-face!
And just a bit of warning–if you dress like an iPod touch, you will very likely be touched and prodded all night long. But maybe you’re into that sort of thing.
