Post-It Malone Costume

I always love doing something fun and creative for Halloween and I really wanted to mix things up a bit this year. 2021 produced a fair amount of pop culture references like Squid Game, Bridgerton and the Suez Canal ship (which are all decent material) but after coming across a picture of Post Malone in a Google search one day I thought, "wow...Post is pretty cool and his name rhymes with so many things, so I can really work with this." After considering many zany ideas like Ghost Malone, Goal Post Malone, Toast Malone and Post-It Malone, I figured the latter would be the coolest of the bunch because I could design a giant Post-It that Malone would potentially write himself and then walk around in it with his look. I did some additional searching to see if anyone had done this sort of thing before and noticed that nobody really had (at least from what I could see), so it was right up my creative alley. It was important to me to not only design a cool post-it for this, but to also recreate Malone's look as much as I could because his tattoos and accessories are a very distinctive part of his identity. My wife helped me with a lot of the logistics and the overall look and feel of the costume and thankfully we were able to get the job done in a week or so without too many hiccups.

The costume was really a hit with a lot of the people who saw it and I had a ton of fun wearing it to the NYC Halloween Parade and elsewhere around the city. I even entered it into Webster Hell's infamous $5k costume contest where it got a pretty good reaction from the crowd!
