halloween fun

Fireman Halloween Costumes are amongst the most popular and for good reason: They're a babe magnet. It doesn't matter how you look, it doesn't matter what shape you're in, if you put on those overalls, if you put on that hat, you look manly, you look good. Heroic, strong, you look like a real man. Firemen are such an archetypal icon, a Jungian image of machismo and heroism, and you won't go unnoticed at the party.

Let's talk about real firemen for a moment, though. The truth is that the job is usually pretty boring. For every hour spent putting out a fire, you spend dozens of hours sitting around waiting for a fire to catch somewhere in the city. For every fire you put out, you respond to a dozen false alarms.

Real fire fighters perform a duty that is incredibly important, and that's why they're considered so sexy, but there's a price to pay with all of the boredom and ennui they sit through.

Of course, you on the other hand only need wear the costume and you are good to go. The women at the party aren't going to care that you've never really rushed into a burning building, you look the part and that's close enough to make you the sexiest man at the party no matter how you really look underneath the outfit. But of course, you do have to get into the character! Here are some tips.

Grow Some Facial Hair

You are going to need a mustache. Most of us look goofy with a mustache, but it looks great on a fire fighter for some reason. The bushier the better. Now, your friends are going to be making some Hall and Oates jokes throughout October, but ignore them, because they'll be wishing it was their idea on the thirty first when you're stealing all the ladies at the party. You may also want to grow out a one day beard so that you can really get a nice scruffy, manly look going.

Develop a Brooklyn Accent

The last thing you want is to shatter the illusion when you start talking. Remember, the only thing sexier than a fireman is a New York fireman, so watch some movies with Harvey Keitel in them. You may want to put some really New York themed movies like Mean Streets and Taxi Driver on a loop so that you can really get a feel for New York life and pass yourself off as a real New Yorker.

Soot it Up!

Burn some win corks and use the soot to powder your face and suit so that you can look like you just came from the fire when you get to the party. The only thing sexier than a New York fire fighter is one who just came from a fire. It's all about playing the part, so don't let a little ash on your face bother you, you're a fireman, remember?
