Nick and I decided months ago that we would dress up like Breaking Bad's Walter White and Jesse Pinkman for Halloween. It was a very timely and relevant costume idea since the series finale just aired this fall, and the show became very popular in TV culture. Right when we had the idea, I hopped on Ebay and searched for "Breaking Bad costumes." They were all $40+ each, ridiculous. Then I searched for generic "haz mat suits" -- $15 each + free shipping, perfect! We assumed we'd have a place to go on Halloween and that one of our friends would have a Halloween party, maybe even two, so we'd have plenty of opportunities to show off our sweet costumes. Negative. The only event we had toward the end of October was our annual neighborhood burger night, so we wore our awesome costumes there the week before Halloween. I even made us our own "blue crystal" (it was just homemade rock candy, no need to call the D.E.A.!) to use an accessory to our costume. I must say, we looked pretty dang good! I think we even lost weight by sweating so much in our haz mat suits, winning!
