Latex, I guess? I suppose that’s how you do Halloween, when you have access to Hollywood makeup tech. ---

Yeah, Halloween parties in Hollywood can be…intimidating?..unfair? “So, you are wearing an actual Star Wars storm trooper outfit? Nice.” “So, you got 7 times Oscar winner Rick Baker to do your Halloween make-up? Nice.” ---

It’s her 11th trip to the hospital for treatment and she is desperate to look like everyone else. Some of her earliest childhood memories are of people looking away, horrified by her appearance. Her bandages will soon come off and she can only hope that this, her last treatment, will have done the trick. If not, her doctor has told she will be segregated with a colony of similar looking people. All that to say that truth is truly in the eye of the beholder. ---

To achieve this, he cast the episode with his back to the performers.[2] Heyes had planned to have Maxine Stuart, who spoke all the lines of the main character Janet Tyler, when her head is entirely covered by bandages, dub the single line spoken by Tyler when she is revealed (as portrayed by the actress Donna Douglas). However, Douglas had been listening to Stuart’s voice as she recorded her part, and was able to imitate her so successfully that she was allowed to speak the line on camera. I happened to watch it within the last year or two, and I realized in the first few minutes, “that’s not Ellie Mae’s voice!” ---

That hammy voice “_I just want to be normal! Why can’t I be normal_?” Yeah yeah yeah, just get to the part with the ugly pig faces 😛 I’m no AG fan, but I highly endorse her costume. Next time, maybe she could lose the ponytail. ---

Before clicking this link, I would have bet $20 that the thread would be about Grande wearing a costume that was racist or appropriation or something similar. Not to imply anything about Grande, but that seems to be the usual annual celebrity costume scandal. Nice to see it was about a well done and original costume! (Well, “original” as in not a current pop-culture thing) ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Latex, I guess? I suppose that’s how you do Halloween, when you have access to Hollywood makeup tech. Years ago when the _Beauty and the Beach_ TV series was running, a couple entered the masquerade a Catherine and Vincent and Vincent’s makeup was totally convincing. It lasted about two days – he had to sleep very carefully on his back with a couple restraining pillows on either side – then the latex began to crack around the mouth.

Mostly they’re ‘just’ costumes but there is a lot of prosthetic makeup as well. ---

That is apt in so many ways. She seems to in-body a character similar to those in that episode. If she realizes that, then it’s brilliant. If not, then it’s just really cool. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/arianna-grandes-halloween-costume/842810.md?page=2)
