This is easy, and I know because I did it. Take four fake beards (use your best judgment as to which beards) and glue two of them together, back to back. Repeat. Spray color on them if you want. These are your new mohawks. Now, shave lines down your head with a Bic razor in two spots, hopefully somewhat symmetrical. Glue your new mohawks to your head where you shaved it. After that, all you need is some 90’s rave gear and you’re golden.

Everyone kept saying, “You’re Lance Armstrong!” and I was like, “Nah, I’m fuckin’ George Hincapie. Stand corrected.” A girl dressed as Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction challenged me to a wrestling showdown for no apparent reason, then she karate chopped me in the throat out of nowhere, so I put her down and into a head and arm choke. It was all very erotic and sensual.

If you’re dressed as a snake but still need full use of your limbs, you are insufficiently committed.

The greatest challenge of our time is making a snake costume that both is sufficiently snakelike and allows the wearer to have full use of their limbs.

You could instead just get a zombie costume and go as “The Old Taylor” though it might be tricky to visually get across sudden, inexplicable deafness.

Is that a snake? At first I thought it was a pokemon or something but then I remembered that year old “Taylor Swift is a snake” meme and figured it must be a snake. The arms and legs really take away from the whole looking like a snake thing since, ya know, snakes don’t have arms and legs. Overall, I don’t think this costume quite captures the edginess of Taytay in 2017 and it doesn’t really have a sense of “I’ve got a reputation but I don’t care and this definitely isn’t some poorly conceived marketing scheme.” 3/10 very loud screams.
