The Coolest Pirate Costume EverIf you’re planning to go to a Halloween party as a pirate, then get ready to havesome fun putting together the coolestPirate Costumeever. You’ll probably want toswagger in to the party with the complete pirate look - the dreadlocks, the braidedbeard, the ring knuckles, some heavy duty mascara and your bottle of rum. And, notto forget, definitely with a few, made up, high sea adventure stories. What next? Heyho captain, let’s get to work. Here are a few ideas to turn you into a real pirate.If you’re serious about wanting to have the Coolest Pirate Costume Ever, start withthe dreadlocks. You can choose to either go for real dreadlocks or just small braids. You want that disheveled, I’ve travelled the seas and eaten a few sea urchins in mytime look about you. Now, tie a large faded bandana around your head and let ithang down past your shoulders. Attach a thin strap of leather with assorted heavybeads, a few seagull feathers and a medallion. Make sure you’ve got somegruesome story about how you got hold of that medallion. Then add heavy layers of foundation, followed by generous amounts of a blackeyeliner pencil (kohl), smeared above and under the eyes, and extra smudge on thecentre of the eyelids. The braided beard is something you might have to pick up at a costume shop andthen braid into two thick braids. Have a friend add a few random braids and beads inyour hair at the same time. As for the moustache, you can use face paint or eyeliner.Put on a V-neck white cotton shirt, add a buttoned waist coat and then step intosome dark pants. If you happen to have pants that fall mid-calf that already havebuttons or a large buckle, all the better. Wrap a sash around your waist, and let itdrop below the knee; add a few big-buckled belts.For the final touch, you might want to add some gold-capping on your teeth, or Isuppose you could black out a front tooth, but I just wouldn’t go there myself. A fewskeleton tattoos on your upper arm would be a nice touch. All of these are optionalbut of course would definitely add more to your pirate costume in effect.Nope, you’re not quite done yet Captain. Now you definitely want to spend sometime rehearsing your new disguise. That’s all part of wearing the CoolestPirateCostumeEver. You’ll want to swagger through the door like a pirate and get themcruising with you. Hey ho Captain. That’s what you want to hear them saying at theparty. Or is it Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum? You’ll probably want to decide on how you want to address the guys and gals at theparty – maybe you can go around calling everyone, laddie or shipmate. You’ll alsowant to keep your lines to a bare minimum, as you may be competing with a livelyundertone if the party’s already underway when you get there. Don’t try to slip-inpirate talk, full force, like Captain Jack in ‘the Pirates of the Caribbean,’ who managesto say all in one go: “Have you come because you need my help to save a certaindistressing damsel? Or rather, damsel in distress? Either one. Settle for anabbreviated version, such as “damsel in distress, can I get you a soda?”And if you decide you actually want to go as Captain Jack, you’ll also need to knowthe story of how you were once the captain of the black pearl. And then you’ve gotthe added challenge of showing up with a live monkey on your shoulder.We haven’t gotten to your sea boots yet, but by now you’ve probably realized that
