This year Don't Look Behind the Bookshelf encompasses one of my favorite aspects of Halloween: dressing up. Am I the only one who sees things in a store and is reminded of a book, or thinks that a certain character would totally wear that shirt? What about actually dressing up as your favorite characters? HELLO, BOOKISH HALLOWEEN. Cosplays, costumes, whatever--either way, you can dress up as--you can be--characters from books. And for Don't Look Behind the Bookshelf, I'm going to do just that: put together a series of character costumes (complete with lists of where you can buy everything) just for you. I'll be doing female versions of all the costumes, buuut they can also all be gender-swapped (or some may be gender-swapped), which is super fun! Check it all out...if you dare. (Insert evil villain laugh here, mwahaha.)
You can find day one--a certain witch with iron teeth--here.
Today's costume is...
KAZ BREKKER
Ah, yes, the Bastard of the Barrel, the King of the Crows. The man who always has a plan and backups, and backups for his backups. Dirtyhands. He's deadly in a way that's fierce and subtle and seething and terrifying. You can try to cross him, but you will fail. You can, however, try to dress like him--and in a female version.
So. Care to be a bastard--or a crow--this Halloween?

ReplyDeleteI was Hermione Granger one year, so I'd really like to do that again but BETTER. Any Harry Potter character would be great though.
