            31 Days of Halloween: October 28

            Good evening, friends,
It’s the greatest day of the greatest season: the return of jimi Halloween, the celebration of mundane Halloween costumes organized by the Japanese website Dailyportalz.
Here are a few favorites; you can see the rest on their Twitter account (or check out a thread of selects using this alternate Twitter viewing link), and by looking at the hashtag #地味ハロウィン2024.
Here are some of my favs!
A person who can’t get the camera to focus on the product they’re showing off.

A person whose cardigan got caught on a doorknob.

A person sweating bullets because he’s been asked to cut a pizza into five equal pieces at a business lunch with a new client

A person who’s 5cm too far from the parking ticket machine

Sacabambaspis (an ancient fish that went viral in Japan a couple of years ago)

The person who ordered curry udon despite wearing white clothes.

Person in the queue at the airport security checkpoint.

A low-ceilinged area at Ueno Station. (The low ceilings in question)

And some wonderful ones posted by fans on Twitter…
A loaf of bread

Someone who enjoys a low-key Halloween at home using their smartphone.

So good!! Do you have any favs from this list or the ones posted online? If you had to dress in a mundane Halloween costume, what would you be? Hit reply and let me know.

Wow, this Tiktok of a scary interactive, electronic Halloween costume! (Thanks Tess!)
