Under Construction Sexy Construction Worker
When I ran this choice by io9’s Editor-in-Chief Jill “Fantasy” Pantozzi, she asked me why I has chosen a costume of a non-nerdy construction worker. I told her it was an incredibly subtle Minions costume. The denim blue shorts, the yellow safety jacket, the safety glasses—I truly believe from the bottom of my heart this is meant to evoke Minion-ness without being obviously a Minion. Maybe my brain is so broken from years of perusing “sexy” costumes in general and Sexy Minion costumes in specific and now I see them where they aren’t. However, let me posit this: there is and never has been a Sexy Minion. It’s an oxymoron, as they are two utterly incompatible ideas. So the only way someone could make a genuinely sexy Sexy Minion costume was by taking so much of the Minion-ness out that 99% of people don’t recognize it—only broken people like me. (Forplay, $69)
