Even though Halloween isn’t widely celebrated in the Philippines as it is in North American countries (“Halloween” here involves trips to cemeteries because we’re hardcore like that), it still remains to be one of my favorite holidays. Dressing up and trick-or-treating weren’t part of my childhood and as a kid, I could only jealously and bitterly witness on TV this foreign tradition.
Fortunately, thanks to the Western world’s quest for cultural hegemony, dressing up for Halloween isn’t such an unheard of thing anymore. We brown-skinned, cotton-picking rice-eating, jeepney-riding peepelz can now join in on the fun, yey! I think the best part (for grown-ups, at least) of Halloween is picking your costume. There are two Halloween parties I’m planning on going to this year and as usual, I’m in a bit of a tizzy trying to decide what to go as (there’s also the hard part of actually getting the costume). I’ve narrowed down my options to these four:
Option #1: Queen Gogor (from 300) or any Greek goddess
I’m not exactly sure how well I’d fare in a maxi dress with a slit that high and my arms aren’t exactly toned nor is my face ~goddess~ material. Maybe it’s time I start taking diet pills and lose weight just in time to ho it up for Halloween.
Option #2: Sexy geisha
Option #3: A chola/chonga!
Elle oh elle. I know Tiff went as one last year and this is fairly easy to pull off. I think it’s absolutely hilarious but it’s bound to flop if no one else gets it.
Option #4: SM Saleslady
I’m kind of serious about this. I couldn’t find a picture of an actual SM saleslady in uniform and the lover gave me a link to some movie with Mystica (pictured) playing one.
What are you dressing up as? =)
Hi, I'm Helga Weber and welcome to my personal site. I'm 25 and in the process of learning how to make adventurous life choices. I dislike old people but I love grandma clothes. My goal in life is to build a ball pit right next to my bed. Currently searching for the perfect house coat. My lover is the greatest. 
OHHHHHHHHH. Helgay i LIKE THOSE! Everyone has been telling me i look asian with my nags so i was thinking of being a geisha. I REALY LOVE those geisha outfits, second being my fave.
[Reply]
Sexy Geisha will fit you perfectly!
anyway, I’m going as a mama kitty because of my two boys. Boring and common, I know, but I already got my tail and my kitty ears. I love ‘em. hehe.

[Reply]
I like the sexy geisha……
[Reply]
HAHAHAHA!! i could totally pull off the chola except i’ve decided on being a vampire for halloween. lol
but for you, i think the geisha would fit you the best, preferably the last pic.
and you couldn’t POSSIBLY be serious about going as an SM saleslady! noooo!!! haha
[Reply]
SM Sales Lady please!
[Reply]
SM Saleslady?
[Reply]
I vote for the SM Saleslady look!!! :D
I’m going as a confused pseudo-virgin, as I’m almost one anyway. Hahahahaha.
[Reply]
I VOTE FOR TEH SM SALES LEDDEH!!!
[Reply]
Every Monday and Thursday we look like SM Salesladies.. you wanna borrow my uniform? HAHAHAHAHA.
[Reply]
i vote for SM saleslady coz it’s funny, and not just because you plurked it. seriously. hahaha
[Reply]
I vote for MYSTICA dressed as an SM saleslady.
[Reply]
I think I saw a picture of someone dressed up as a SM sales lady from Cecile Zamora’s blog. Magstockings ka din with your open-toed heels for the full effect.
[Reply]
Although the SM Saleslady is a good idea, I don’t think it will suit you :P
I don’t know what I will dress up like, the only costume I wore for a Halloween party is a pirate, and that was when I’m in kindergarten.
[Reply]
Be a geisha! I was a geisha last year except I got that blue dragon geisha costume. :P
[Reply]
That SM saleslady outfit would be hilarious! With matching makapal na make-up. :))
If you can’t get that, try the geisha costume. It’s cute! :)
[Reply]
SM saleslady!!! I am so rooting for that one. For you, that is. Are you planning on having that blue uniform made??? Weeener, Helgrrr!!!
[Reply]
If you go as an SM saleslady, it wouldn’t be complete if you don’t sneak in to the dressing rooms with one of your male customer. ;)
[Reply]
you’d look awesome as queen gogor
[Reply]
see? lol. (h, after a few reloads a picture of a lechon appears on your homepage hahaha)
[Reply]
me and my bff were thinking of going as sexy pirates or sexy pimps…
[Reply]
I like the third Geisha costume best. The Chonga one would be too funny, though!
[Reply]
I love the Greek goddess one, I think it would look good on you with your tan skin. lol at the Chonga thing – makes me never want to drive down to Miami!
I don’t know what I’ll be or what I’m even doing for Halloween. I was thinking maybe Jessica Rabbit or Marilyn Monroe. I want something that’s not too expensive.
[Reply]
I really like the greek goddess one! I’ve never really dressed up for Halloween except as a kid going “trick or treating” because I never had anywhere to go, lol.
[Reply]
I vote for SM salelady costume!!! It’s so original! LMAO.
[Reply]
I like the geishas. And with good booty shorts, you can get totally sloshed outta your mind drunk and not have to worry about how you look.
I’d probably get my ass beat if I went out dressed as a chola here. I think you’re right though – what if no one got it?
I like traditionally scary stuff always. Vampires, witches, etc. My first Halloween ever I was Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. Once I was a dinosaur with a plush tail made by my mom that got soaked with rain (NO FUN). Oh and once I was Glinda from the Wizard of Oz. Every other year has basically been witch, vampire, or pirate (until it got tooo trendy).
This year=(hopefully) fake tats, false eyelashes, cute new hair cut. I like being just “festive” and skanky, whether it’s a lowcut top and make-believe fangs or nothing but fishnets and panties that say “Spooky” on the butt.
[Reply]
HOLY CRAP is that really Mystica? :p Didn’t recognized her.
I love trick or treats baaaack then. And squash-o-lanterns!
[Reply]
CHOLA BITCH CHOLA!

yeah CHONGA! Office costume party for halloween and christmas (since there’s a theme every year) i have to look for costumes, too.
[Reply]
are you going to Cream?? :)
i wanna be sexy santa helper this year!
[Reply]
Either of the first two would be just fine.
If there is one rule of women’s Halloween fancy dress, it’s that it must be sexy.. even bordering on slutty is OK.
[Reply]
How about a San Miguel Employee? Or a massage therapist.
[Reply]
I like Sexy Geisha 2 or 3 for you =)
I’m going as a honeybee.
I loves Halloween! I’m glad to be in the States to celebrate this grown-ups-can-play-dress-up-too holiday :D
[Reply]
I kinda like that sexy geisha costume….
[Reply]
The goddess and the geisha are both really cool! I’m planning on going as a cute mime…not sure if I’m actually going to not talk the entire night though XD.
[Reply]
SM SALESLADY!
Ahahahaha ang sama!
[Reply]
I like option 2! :D
Halloween is actually meant for honoring the dead. I would recommend to some people that we go to a cemetery too, but they’d just think I’m weird. :/
[Reply]
Dude! The Greek goddess is calling out to me and tells me that you should dress as as a Grecian goddess.
As for the cholla costumes…haha people were able to understand my costume because I live in Orange County, California, and it’s full of them. Though I don’t know about the Philippines!
Regardless, I think you’d make one sexified cholita, essay!
[Reply]
my costume is sexy geisha #2!!! except instead of black/red its pink/black. haha.
it looks great :) i cant wait for halloween!
[Reply]
Tranny?
