How did you celebrate Halloween 2011? I was in Mazatlan, Mexico for my travel video project. Since it’s a Pacific Coast port city… I was a spooky sailor girl!

HalloweenCostumes.com let me choose any costume from their massive site — you can imagine how I struggled. The site has thousands of outfits, from Steampunk to pirate, plus-size, couples, kids and skimpy. Take a look for yourself; I bet you’ll find something for your next dress-up party.

My sailor costume came with a hat, corset and skirt.
Contrast platform boots: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child. Perfect match.
Red purse with gold bow clasp: vintage Nina Ricci, belonged to my mom
Long black bead bracelet: actually a necklace. Gifted by Fashionology.

My filmmakers and I started the night in the Golden Zone. No costume? No problem: there were masks and wigs at the door.

A salute to the press trip organizers, who were very sweet and made sure we got the video footage we needed.

Clowning around with Mazatlan locals.

A few shenanigans later, we wound up in Old Mazatlan… but there was too much tequila involved, so I can’t show you the photos!

I can reveal that there was a costume contest. Did I win? You’ll have to wait until the video to see.

How did you dress for All Hallows Eve? What was the best costume you saw this year? And do you like what I wore?

Big eye makeup, false eyelashes, a twisted or curled hair set, and sparkly everything.

Ageha Magazine has step-by-step tutorials for how to make your eyes look as big as possible. The gist: fake top and bottom lashes, eye-shadowing techniques (white on the inside corners), circle contact lenses with giant irises… and of course, Photoshop.

One easy way to get the look: purikura (sticker picture machines). The new “Lady by Tokyo” has classier options and a matte finish.

After choosing the photos, Cotton Bale and I decorated them with bows, stars and cat-noses.
My Pirate striped top is gifted by CamdenLock Clothing, who also sent me this knit punk set.

All the purikura machines emphasize eye-enlargement.

And very white skin.

Bling-bling nail art is another gyaru must. (In fact, I’m getting my nails done today for a magazine photoshoot!)

Here are more big-eye Japanese girl photos.

What do you think of the gyaru look? Thoughts on Asian standards of beauty, and the techniques for big eyes and white skin? Let’s have a discussion in the comments.

PS: Thanks to the Seoul Times for featuring me.
