6. Heidi Klum and Seal as ravens (via Stylefrizz)

A very involved costume, to be sure. But are we alone in thinking that this isn’t quite up to the astoundingly high standards Heidi Klum has set for herself in the past?

7. A woman as a Roy Lichtenstein painting (via Tasha Marie’s Charmed, every image bookmarking blog on the Internets)

This costume has exploded on the web over the past week — and rightly so. Proof that quality and social recommendation sites are not enemies.

8. Some people on the subway in Boston as Wild Things, plus Max (via Casey Donahue)

A hat tip is in order to New York Mag’s Vulture blog for turning us on to this frighteningly high-quality costume. Definitely beats all of the slutty [nouns] clogging up the NYC subways on Halloween night…

9. Perez Hilton as Lady Gaga (via Perezhilton.com)

No caption necessary.

10. Twitter (via Buzzfeed)

It’s funny because the fail whale page is the most identifiable feature of Twitter. Seriously though, very well-executed, sir.

Jenny Sanford is All Things to All Pundits

1:59 pm, Tuesday

video

The story of embattled political soon-to-be ex-wife Jenny Sanford is one of the rarest incidents in American politics: a story that both sides can spin to fit their narrative. Sanford went on a media tour to promote her new book, Staying True, that hit all three major cable news channels and the unofficial fourth power in journalism, The Daily Show. And despite the vast ideological gaps among the mediums, every interviewer wanted her on their team.
