When Halloween REALLY gets scary...

I FREAKIN' LOVE HALLOWEEN.

Don't you?! Of course you do. With Halloween being only ONE WEEK away, I feel as though a Halloween post is more than obvious. So, awaaayyyy we goooo!

Now, as we all know, this blog is about wasting time, not wine. And let me assure you, NO wine gets wasted when I go out on Halloween. However, I do waste buckets of time preparing for Halloween - it's something lots of people do. And we do it for one night, a night that's not even a holiday! It definitely doesn't make much sense, but I do it every year so whatever.

As good as some Halloween costumes are, the real beauty is in the terrible ones. The ones that are almost undistinguishable - "are you a pile of leaves?" "Oh, Poison Ivy, right..."
So I took to my friend Mr. Google and found some pretty hilariously bad Halloween costumes that we can all laugh, cringe, and shutter at together. Believe me, you'll never see anything scarier than some of these below...

Enjoy!


Sesame Street meets stripper. Probably not the what the creators were hoping for. Burt and Ernie would also never wear braids...


Ok, the only reason I even recognized what this classy lady was TRYING to be, is because of the pose. Very Lady Gaga like right? I think this young lady was going for Gaga's meat dress look, but obviously wasn't willing to splurge on the good stuff so she settled for mouldy ham and Bologna.


This. UGH. This combines so many things that I hate in life. 1. Kids dressing like adults - it's weird and creepy. 2. Sunglasses that you can't see out of (WHAT is the POINT?!). 3. Jersey effing Shore (I think..). I'm pretty sure that's what these mini guidos and guidettes are going for here. Which is just disgraceful. At this age, they definitely shouldn't even know what JS is, let alone want to act like them.



Remember when Octo-Mom was all the rage? I get the baby dolls, and maybe I'm just not well versed in the happenings of the Octomom, but why the lips? Maybe she had lip injections, but those fake ones make the costume look more like the creepy clown thing from Saw (Jigsaw?). Also, check out mega creepy Ernie in the background checking out Octomom wanna-be.


And this one.. I don't have the slightest... wait, that's just Miley. Not even a costume. Oops.

Happy Halloween folks! :)


Wine at the time: Wolfbass Shiraz (because it's delicious and smooth! And vampires.)

I definitely didn't cry while writing this piece about The Tragically Hip...

The Tragically Hip - Man Machine Poem Day 3 in Toronto, ON Armed with will and determination...and grace, too. Gord Downie, lead of The Tragically Hip, embodies that line from the song Grace, Too. Those words have never been felt deeper than they were these last few weeks as the band takes the stage in multiple cities across Canada for what has been deemed their farewell tour. In May, the band released a statement letting their adoring fans know that frontman Gord Downie - a Canadian treasure on the same level (or above) as icons like Don Cherry and Wayne Gretzky - was suffering from terminal brain cancer. The news hit Canadians hard. But the love for The Hip was never more evident as tickets to their Man Machine Poem tour (named after their most recent album which dropped in June) sold out in no time. Fans of the band wanted nothing more than to be alongside Gord and his band during these difficult times and to experience an incredible performance by them just one more ti...

What Re-Watching The Office Taught Me About Love at 27

When Michael Scott was making everyone cringe and giggle in 2005, I wasn’t paying a whole lot of attention to show The Office . It wasn’t until I re-watched it at 27 years old that I realized how many lessons it was teaching me. This show is somehow constantly relevant. It’s been off-air for a couple of years, but the memes and Tweets about it are still constant. People are always re-binging it. That’s the sign of a great sitcom.   The comedy has taught me more about love - and all the different versions of love - than any other form of media in my life. While Pam and Jim are a big part of it, I even learned from Dunder Mifflin’s hilariously-inappropriate manager. But we’ll start with the obvious… 1. Friendship first Pam and Jim have a love story that started out as a friendship and there’s no better way to fall in love. Falling for someone who is honestly your best friend is scary, exciting and just downright weird. It comes with a lot of risks, but if it works, it’...

Ria Mae Album Review

Ria Mae is from the little-big city of Halifax, Nova Scotia and has had no problem packing venues - be it dive bars or concert halls - since her hit single, Clothes Off , hit the airwaves last year. Mae moved to Montreal in the winter in hopes of being inspired and courted by the city’s booming music scene. It looks like that’s exactly what happened as she released her self-titled album on June 3rd. While her sound is mostly pop, there are hints of alternative, hip-hop and even R&B that give her songs a sexy, Montreal-esque feel that has her fans dancing and sipping cocktails while jamming to her music. The new album features her two singles - Clothes Off and Gold - both with incredibly catchy beats and melodies. There’s so much sex appeal behind these tunes (especially Clothes, as you could’ve probably guessed) that it has probably become a regular in many club playlists. Many of the other songs on the album, though, have more of a pop feel which really showcase Mae’s voc...
