TIME LORDE
I’M FUCKING SCREAMING
PUN COSTUME OF THE YEARRRRRRR
I know right! i freakin flipped when i saw that.
so damn funny
#40 is my boyfriend/best friend and i :D i watched the Grand Budapest hotel at his insistence, then realized we kind of look like agatha and zero
as both a Lorde and a Doctor Who fan, the Time Lorde costume is brilliant!!
hmmmm our photo didn’t make it in :(
A few of these photos went up a little late! Do you see it now?
strangely, no. maybe it was a poltergeist?
these costumes are so great!!!!! :)
I love all of these!!
The Sims! I forgot I had wanted to do that! Filing that away for next year’s options.
literally clapped when I saw ‘beheaded Anne Boleyn’ I loved it so much!!:D also reminded me of when Spencer dressed up as Mary Queen of Scots on PLL <3
Ahhh I love all the costumes!
Elizabeth from #80… can you do a tutorial on your Danny sweater? IT’S AMAZING!
“Elizabeth as Danny from The Shining (she knit that sweater herself!).”
HOW?! WHAT?! She is so talented.
Share your wisdom Elizabeth!
eeee!! i’m #75!! thanks for like letting me be on yr website, rookie!!
I think Suzy in #79 isn’t just haunted. I am pretty sure she is Beyoncé from her music video Haunted which makes her costume 100x cooler. Great job Suzy, you look awesome!
Here is the Beyoncé look for comparison:
Please the Vampire Weekend costume files and OMG LORDE AND FRIDA KAHLO
Ps: this is my blog btw speakingofvlada.blogspot.com
my photo didn’t make it in :(
Izzy from Perth, sweet jesus you are scary. I love it!
Nice to see another Temples fan! I met them last week and still can’t get over it.
I agree! :)) It is nice to know of other Temples fans, that is cool you got to meet them. I was too shy to walk up and say “Hello”.
i’m #11!! Yay so happy to be part of this gallery of super cool costumes!!!:):)

I’m in LOVE with these. Rookie are so awesome <3
all of these are so good! I’m #62!
I mean #36 !!
So glad ours is in this (my friend and I are scrappy and daphne!)
My name was misspelled tho :x
Sorry, Ramya! That was a typo. Fixed now!
You guys whose pictures didn’t make it in — did you send me a photo release form? The only ones I didn’t add were the ones that didn’t have those attached. (That said, I had a bad day yesterday and it’s very possible I simply misplaced a photo or two — if that happened to yours, can you resend it to me asap?)
Yay!! I made it in! I’m #11 <3 Everyone's costumes are so wonderful!! I wish we could all have one big Halloween party!
Oh, I am so in love with the whole ROOKIE community! This is just fabulous. So much work in all those costumes; I LOVE this!!! I kinda regret now that I spend Halloween alone in bed eating a big tub of Ben&Jerry’s ice-cream and watching Megalodon, though I must say I had a pretty good evening…=)
TIME LORDE!!! YESSS!!!
ahhh you guys all look so great!!! I love the Time Lorde costume <3
I’m #5! So glad I made it in with all these killer costumes :-)
Oh dear, I’m #28. You all are very creative! The one costume I am gawking at is Gabby dressed as Corrine from “The Fabulous Stains”!!!!
We should hold a public Rookie Reader’s Event where that’s the required wardrobe(I am not joking, this will have to happen).
I love that movie and the soundtrack.
I don’t know you Elizabeth, but it is totally amazing that you knit that Apollo sweater!! So cool!
FREAKING OUT OVER TIME LORDE OMG GENIUS!!!
I also love looove the Jellyfish costume, it’s a creative way to utilize a prop! It looks pretty and translucent and glowing. I wonder how much time it takes to fashion your umbrella like that hahaha.
I’m on page 71! Pleasure to be a part of this!
By the way, I’m loving the Wes Anderson costumes :3
All the Wes Anderson costumes were awesome (39 was so great she looks amazing). AND TIME LORDE! Omg, best pun ever.
I love the Andy Warhol one!
And the jellyfish :)
I loved Nutella.
Also, it’s so great to see boy Rooks.
Wish there were more of them!!!
Love,
V
