CJC’s Seven Deadly Sins

This year they are one-upping themselves with night of Deadly Sins featuring the deck dazzling duo Samba and Fahmy on the decks. Now, they don’t call them deadly sins for no reason and that means you shouldn’t have too much PRIDE to wear a costume, become ENVIOUS of the better costumes, LUST over the girls who go all out in provocative/slutty Cat Woman outfits, become GREEDY and down 20 B52s, before becoming a GLUTTONOUS fiend, eating too many of this tasty jazz club’s pizzas then throwing up and becoming a SLOTH the next day as you nurse your hangover.

No, no, no that is not the point of the theme. You’re supposed to think about one of the seven deadly sins as you put together you costume. Here are some ideas:

LUST – This should be an easy one for the girls because, at the end of the day, Halloween is the one day of the year where you a green light for dressing like a ho, without any judgment  So bring out the lustfullness in you or  provoke the lust of the party-goers around you by wearing a a little black dress with questionable bunny ears, or just get your boobs out. Easy.

WRATH – Wrath is associated with anger and indignation so maybe you can go as your favourite villain of this century. Possibly Adolf Hitler, The Joker from Batman, The Daleks from Dr.Who or the current president of Egypt…

ENVY –  Leave the green behind and get creative. Why not stir up envy in other by dressing up as someone virtuous like a superhero, or an angel or even a prophet? However we highly suggest you stay clear away from Mohamed, though,  unless you want to be beaten half to death and cause mass protests across the Middle East which may end the murder of a foreign diplomat. Actually, why not just wear green?

PRIDE -  Maybe you think you’re too cool and have too much pride to dress up for Halloween. So  just come as an exaggerated version of yourself or a personification of your personality.

SLOTH – Over the years, we have seen many half-assed attempts at costumes. Sloth is associated with laziness so here are some examples of sloth like outfits: put a white blanket on your head and go as a ghost, wear a suit on backwards and call yourself ‘The Backwards Man’ or wear that free cardboard hat that you got from the kiddies meal at Burger King and call yourself a prince.

GLUTTONY – Come as large Shrimpo combo from KFC…

Best part? The top 3 costumes (judged on concept, execution and representation of your chosen deadly sin) will win special prizes!
