The Weekender November 9-11

       

Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
Interested in art? The MoMA is now showing "Starry Night" from Vincent Van Gogh and "The Scream" by Edvard Munch, which are two very famous paintings that even those who aren't as interested in art know about. I happened to go when we had the week off and they we're fantastic! The MoMA has photography, the impressionist area, and of course, all modern sculptures and paintings, along with so much more. As a SUNY student, we get free admission, but prices for regular students are $14 and regular admission is $25. The MoMA's address is 11W 53rd Street, between 5th and 6th Ave.

You only have to make a few additions to any cavewoman costume to be Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones.

All you need is an Edwardian Style dress and accessories to be a character from Downton Abbey like Lady Mary Crawley.

Bring your own chic updates to the classic schoolgirl costume to be Serena van der Woodsen or Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl.

A 60s style dress and wig can recreate Megan’s iconic singing scene from Mad Men.

 Movies:

There is a wide selection of flapper costumes that can be accessorized to look like Daisy Buchanan from this year’s The Great Gatsby movie.

One of the cutest couple costumes of the year can be taken from Moonrise Kingdom.

Famous Artwork:

A little make-up and a polka dot outfit can create the perfect pop art by Roy Lichtenstein costume.

Graffiti style paint can be used to make a costume inspired by the street artist Banksy.

You can even turn your outfit into the famous painting of your choice.

Use some of these tricks before you go out to get your treats - Happy Halloween!
