introducing "recession halloween"

shortly after halloween i had a phone convo with my homie, vanessa from new york (well, actually she's from here, but now lives in ny, ya dig?). she explained what recession halloween is. i couldn't stop laughing and urged her to send me pictures to post as an example for y'all.

recession halloween = halloween for folks feeling the effects of the financial crisis on the their pocketbooks aka half ingenuity, half straight up ghetto. the way it works is the folks participating pull together closet finds and duck tape to keep halloween funky!

see examples below...

"trinity from the matrix"

"stepped on gum"

"pumpkins"


"pumpkin costume $0, matrix costume $0, bubble gum on shoe costume $0, the looks on peoples faces when they saw our ghetto ass costumes = priceless" -vanessa
