Alex from A Clockwork Orange

As mentioned in my previous post, I like to do things a little cheaper for Halloween, rather than wear any of my cosplays. That, however, does not mean I don't like to dress up. I love Halloween! And I love to dress up for it.

I kind of have a rule for Halloween. What I dress up as, needs to be in the scary or creepy category. This year I'm gearing up for a bit of that old ultra-violence as I'm doing a female version of the protagonist Alex from A Clockwork Orange.

Alex' getup is fairly easy, but also very recognizable, and there's one very important detail you need to get right: his right eye makeup. You need some pretty prominent fake eye lashes for that. Other than that you need a white shirt, a pair of white trousers, a pair of white suspenders, a black bowler hat, a cane and an old school jockstrap. If you like, you can skip the jockstrap and the cane.

This is my costume. I had almost everything in my closet already. All I needed was a pair of white trousers (that I got cheap from H&M) and a pair of big fake eyelashes. I ended up skipping the jockstrap myself. I wanted one, but it was difficult to find, so I just decided to drop it.

I forgot to put the shoes in this photo, and you can't see them in the ones above, but Alex is wearing a pair of black combat boots. Any black boots will do really.

The end result of my Alex costume from my makeuptest. My fake eyelashes are BIG, but I still didn't think they were prominent enough, so I painted on a heavy cat eyeliner too. On the other eye, I'm only wearing mascara,
