I really like Halloween costumes, though I’m generally too lazy to dress up. It’s a rare time — increasingly frowned-on in our culture unless you are a member of an officially approved oppressed group — for one to become someone else entirely. But one thing about being a celebrity is that you can afford to pay for a really nice costume and all the make-up people, costumers, etc., to really do something cool.
Emily Ratajakowski as Marge Simpson takes the cake, though.
(She was the grad student Ben Affleck’s character in Gone Girl was sleeping with, by the way.)

I think more people saw the Blurred Lines video than Gone Girl
I think when people go to extreme efforts to reproduce a character it often highlights the creepiness. I don’t know if either woman intended to do so. Within the cartoon world of the Simpsons pretty much all of the white human characters are yellow. In the real world, someone who is that yellow has jaundice or just dove into a vat of mustard. Heidi Klum went all out with protheses and latex and reminded people that a person who actually has Jessica Rabbit’s proportions looks odd.
My costume was simple this year. I was a box of breakables. I clipped some suspenders to a UHaul box and wrote “FRAGILE” on some electric tape.
Your costume sounds pretty cool.
I don’t think Ratajakowski’s Marge looks any creepier than Marge actually is. I’m not a Simpsons fan, though. Heidi Klum almost certainly intended that creepiness effect — she does this every year and has had some pretty bizarre and terrifying costumes.
Like the one below. Wonder how long that took someone(s) to make.
I didn’t mention the “Blurred Lines” video because that’s pretty age-range specific, but nearly everyone saw Gone Girl.
