My will power lasted for one post, but I can't hold it in any longer. I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That means it's official: middle-aged men are not the only ones who love Buffy. I can't quite put my finger on what is so attractive about the show, but it's like a drug. It has the quippy dialogue of Dawson's Creek, the teen angst of, um, Dawson's Creek, and the cast of, well, Dawson's Creek (as far as guest stars go, at least). But Buffy came first.
Yes, Buffy can do more tricks than Kerri Strug. Yes, vampires always wait just one second too long to bite their prey and then end up getting killed by the Slayer. Yes, Giles and Buffy have a really inappropriate relationship that has probably turned many a school librarian into pedophiles. But the excitement! The gore! The bad 90s effects!
That brings me to my final point. My old friend, Swank, suggested that I go as Buffy for Halloween. I thought about it and I was stumped: there's no way to go as Buffy. I could go as Joey Potter in a second: long and lean jeans with a tank top that's just a hair too short. Done. But Buffy? Black pleather pants and an orange spaghetti strap tank top? A schoolgirl skirt with knee-high boots and a sweater? An off-the-shoulders Ann Taylor style shirt with a bright red choker? Too many options! Basically, in order to dress up as Buffy, you just need to wear clothes, be super hot, and be a total freakin' bad ass.
