A Year in 23 Flats

The Flat Profile Retrospective

/ / 13


/ / 15


Patrick Bateman (American Psycho)Excellent work on the hair, blood splatter, and expression of abject dickheadedness. The character is just the right level of notoriety: enough that the majority of students will know who he is, but with still su�cient obscurity to rouse a few blank looks. The lines we overheard heard him spouting weren’t quite as convincing as his get-up, but all in all an impressive e�ort.

Na’viIt’s really the eyes that do it, even if they’re not quite screen-accurate. What? That’s a legitimate critique! Stop throwing stu� at me! You guys are mean. Anyway, though blue face/body paint has been a staple of student costumes for years, this applica-tion of it is a damn sight better than a Smurf, possibly the least original and most-done student costume idea there is.

Captain Planets… or is the plural “Captains Planet”? Either way, these guys did a good job with the hair, and they blue themselves well. But what are the cut-o� tops meant to do? They don’t seem to be showcasing all that much, that’s for sure…

Paul WilliamsNot a particularly convincing mask, though the “Artist” pass is a nice touch. This guy even ended up on stage at one point, and stumbled through a few pieces mistakenly labelled songs. Hard to believe he managed to fool security, really.

Lego ManWinner of the best dressed man, and a deserving winner at that. Your bulkier cardboard/plastic out�ts are often a risk; you don’t get quite the level of mobility you’d have in a closer-cut get-up, visibility is often reduced, and it’s more likely to get damaged by the drunken hordes.

Lego Man #2Oh, man. Awkward. Never good bringing a knife to a gun�ght, especially when the gun wins “Best Dressed.” Still, a �ne enough e�ort, and would have been pretty great were it not so roundly outclassed.

Handy PeteBest way for a guy to accessorise to impress? Hot babes. Well played, sir. Well played indeed.

SmurfAw, c’mon guys, seriously? The Smurf pops up at every event for which there is even a vague justi�cation of its presence. It’s not an inherently poor choice, but when it’s been done so many times, what makes it seem such an attractive option when trying to �gure out a costume? Complete originality isn’t necessary, but there have to be options just as simple which haven’t been seen at every party/BBQ/piss-up/ice cream tasting in history.

Used Sanitary PadI’m kind of curious to see what kind of woman would (a) require a pad that large and (b) apparently bleeds spaghetti. The accompany-ing president is cutting a �ne �gure in the Asics trousers, which historians actually believe may be the brand ol’ Honest Abe favoured.

Open HomeSo we’re not exactly sure where the open home is, but this is one place we might just restrict to a TradeMe inspection.

Toilet Paper MenNovel use of bog roll, but you wouldn’t want to visit an after-party at their �at. Don’t they realise just how precious a student commodity it is!?

Barbie… some poor little girl is going to want to make use of that Warehouse money-back guarantee come Christmas time.

GhostbusterPerfectly encapsulates the slightly in-over-their-heads nature of the Ghostbusters. May have mishead the lyric “I ain’t afraid of no ghost.”
