Freaky Friday

Fashion writer CRYSTAL OKUSA explores the spooky side of fashion this Friday 13. Try this at home only if you dare...

The knows...

Like many other human beliefs, the fear of Friday 13 (known as paraskevidekatriaphobia) isn’t exactly grounded in scientific logic. But the really strange thing is that most of the people who believe the day is unlucky offer no explanation at all, logical or illogical. As with most superstitions, people fear Friday the 13th for its own sake, without any need for background information.

Get prepared now that Friday 13 will happen twice in a row this year.

How to dress for Friday 13:

-To match the day and the activities, you need to dress the part. Usually it’s preferable to get costumes that are sold for Halloween or gothic clothes and accessories. Also the metal accessories work well.

-You also get the hand painted vinyl facemask that has one eye covered with a black mesh and elasticized straps to hold it in place, or any scary looking mask.

- A lady does not really have to go all covered up, but instead get creative with your costumes. Since it’s Valentine eve, you can look both sexy and scary..

-. Do something different like wear black and try some freaky make up. You can even colour your hair together with friends. Don some crazy costumes and have the fun of your lives. Good thing it’s a FURAHI DAY!!
