Justin Trudeau’s family is at it again with another year of delightful Halloween costumes.

Canada’s prime minister dressed up as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved character Sherlock Holmes for the spooky holiday, donning the fictional detective’s signature deerstalker hat, pipe, and clue-hunting magnifying glass.

But Trudeau wasn’t alone in his costumed festivities, with his whole family joining in:

The author of ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’ has the purest reaction to everyone’s Lara Jean Halloween costumes

TwitterFacebook

“It’s not like in the movies. It’s better, because it’s real.”

From a small mountain of adorable, quotable moments to the iconic and timeless dreamboat that is Peter Kavinsky, Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before gave us all a lot to love this past summer. 

Now, in the heart of October 2018, the gift of protagonist Lara Jean Covey keeps on giving. This paradigm of effortlessly sophisticated teenage fashion—seriously, has the Peter Pan collar ever looked this good on anyone?—is inspiring dozens of fabulous Halloween costumes and author Jenny Han is taking notice. 

Han published the film’s source material, also titled To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, as a YA novel in April of 2014. She later executive produced Netflix’s adaptation of the high school love story and, with help from costume designer Rafaella Rabinovich and actress Lana Condor, brought Lara Jean to life.  Read more…

These are the best Halloween thruples costumes

TwitterFacebook

Heteronormative monogamy is out, queer polyamory is in. 

That’s true for many parts of this country — or, you know, my Brooklyn block. Either way, platonic or not-so-platonic thruples are so *in* this year.

It’s time for this country to retire their binary oppressive Flintstones couples costumes and replace them with far more subversive thruples costumes.

Here are the best thruples costumes for 2018:
