Halloween Random Acts: bees, Russian aliens and old sitcom characters

31 October 2011 Rob Buckley Random Acts Post a comment

Halloween is of course a time for Americans, and in particular American women, to get dressed up in random costumes.

Ali Larter, being the ‘Queen Bee’ of random round here, went surprisingly literal this year and dressed… as a queen bee.

The always reliable Scarlett Johansson, although not off to a Halloween party as such, given she’s in Scotland filming a movie, instead dressed as someone pretending to be a Russian in a 1980s pop video.

Technically, she’s supposed to be a sex-mad alien at this point. Not sure the outfit says sex-mad alien, though.

However, the fabulously random Alex Breckenridge – presumably delighted to hear American Horror Story has just been granted a second season – has picked the most apposite costume for a TV blog to laud: she’s going to her party as Peggy Bundy from Married With Children.

Not convinced? Well, she’s going with a gal pal… dressed as Kelly Bundy.

I think she wins this year – although Ali came close.
