David Bowie Halloween Costume

Summary: Ground control to Major Tom—are you feeling low because you’re still searching for the perfect Halloween costume idea? Do you look back in anger at some of the lame costumes you’ve selected in past years: the back end of a horse, a cactus, Nikola Tesla? Do you have a sense of doubt that fake blood and scary monsters have already had their golden years? If you’re really under pressure, then it’s time for some ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.

Perhaps you’ve heard of a man named David Robert Jones? No? Well, what about the Thin White Duke? Ziggy Stardust? I’m talking about none other than the famous innovator, musician, actor, and producer: David Bowie. With a career that spans almost 50 years, Bowie is a living legend of rock and roll…and certainly worthy to be honored at a costume party.

In these Halloween costume videos, learn how to dress up like the man who sold the world a new identity every ten years or so. Whatever music, fashion, or art decade you decide to portray Bowie in, things should all be hunky dory. But, if you do show up to a Halloween party and everyone says “Hi, who are you supposed to be,” stay cool. You might reply, “I’m just bouncing from station to station, soaking up the scenery and the free alcohol.” After all, you are a guest and have no control over the situation. You might decide to move on to the next party, perhaps not populated by so much teenage wildlife. Or you might just say, “Who cares? Let’s dance.”

…Either way, we hope you truly enjoy your fantastic voyage as the inimitable David Bowie.
