Here&#8217;s some Grinch cosplay."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2020 is a dumpster fire that grows hotter and stinkier with each passing day. The US election is an absolute mess, we&#8217;re in a second round of lockdown in the UK, the terror level just got raised for some reason, and Pat Sharp&#8217;s just got a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B0857FC1WP\/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1\">new book out<\/a>. Things are bleak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christmas is on the horizon. But it&#8217;s clearly not going to be like any Christmas we&#8217;ve known before. Will we be able to see loved ones without the police breaking down our doors for breaking Coronavirus laws? We just don&#8217;t know at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what I do know is that people like to dress up as The Grinch and it is very funny to me. This topic originally came up when I was researching people doing cosplay of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/the-mask-cosplay\/\">The Mask<\/a><\/em> and it just cracked me up. There&#8217;s something inherently very compelling about dressing up in a big green costume and doing it badly. It&#8217;s what I live for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway here&#8217;s some of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/6B710D46-EE29-40E7-910F-D8765D59CB0A-0.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"821\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/6B710D46-EE29-40E7-910F-D8765D59CB0A-0.jpeg?resize=616%2C821&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/6B710D46-EE29-40E7-910F-D8765D59CB0A-0.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/6B710D46-EE29-40E7-910F-D8765D59CB0A-0.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/6B710D46-EE29-40E7-910F-D8765D59CB0A-0.jpeg?resize=816%2C1088&amp;ssl=1 816w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/6B710D46-EE29-40E7-910F-D8765D59CB0A-0.jpeg?resize=60%2C80&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/6B710D46-EE29-40E7-910F-D8765D59CB0A-0.jpeg?w=971&amp;ssl=1 971w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes a Grinch costume? First, you&#8217;ve gotta be green. Second, you&#8217;ve gotta be hairy. Third, you&#8217;ve got to have some kind of festive attire on &#8211; at least the Christmas jacket, with the optional sack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our first entry ticks all three boxes, yet still feels so far off. The uncanny valley of Grinches. They&#8217;ve even got the right kind of snarl going on, and the curled shoes are a nice touch. I can&#8217;t quite place what&#8217;s wrong with it. Maybe it&#8217;s the word &#8216;GRINCH&#8217; on the hat? I don&#8217;t think the Grinch would advertise himself like that. And if it&#8217;s so that people know what your costume is meant to be&#8230; well, you should have some more confidence in yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/400663-dr-seuss-the-grinch-costume-for-men.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"292\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/400663-dr-seuss-the-grinch-costume-for-men.jpg?resize=292%2C565&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/400663-dr-seuss-the-grinch-costume-for-men.jpg?w=292&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/400663-dr-seuss-the-grinch-costume-for-men.jpg?resize=155%2C300&amp;ssl=1 155w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/400663-dr-seuss-the-grinch-costume-for-men.jpg?resize=41%2C80&amp;ssl=1 41w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eschewing the popular Jim Carrey look, you occasionally find something like this. Much more akin to the original Dr Seuss illustrations. But for some reason sporting some high-end designer sneakers. NOT MY GRINCH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/grinch-suit-ugly-christmas-sweater.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"821\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/grinch-suit-ugly-christmas-sweater.jpg?resize=616%2C821&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/grinch-suit-ugly-christmas-sweater.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/grinch-suit-ugly-christmas-sweater.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/grinch-suit-ugly-christmas-sweater.jpg?resize=816%2C1089&amp;ssl=1 816w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/grinch-suit-ugly-christmas-sweater.jpg?resize=60%2C80&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/grinch-suit-ugly-christmas-sweater.jpg?w=1066&amp;ssl=1 1066w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Utterly horrifying. Not only are we dealing with a &#8216;nude Grinch&#8217; situation, but he&#8217;s also desperately in need of a good shave. Like, the person who made this costume (we can only presume there is a human being in there) must have spent hours adding hair to this&#8230; thing, and at some point made the call that they had not &#8211; in fact &#8211; added enough hair, and that more hair was needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The facial makeup is also pure nightmare fuel. It kinda looks like&#8230; a lion? In fact, the whole get-up is distinctly lion-ish. As if they were doing the Wizard of Oz lion, but somehow a green sock got mixed into the wash. And now they&#8217;re trying to play it off as a Grinch vibe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, the belly on this Grinch is something else. More like the Grinch who <em>ate<\/em> Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/JdDiUv1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"770\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/JdDiUv1.jpg?resize=616%2C770&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/JdDiUv1.jpg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/JdDiUv1.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/JdDiUv1.jpg?resize=64%2C80&amp;ssl=1 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ok, YES. I Googled &#8220;sexy Grinch&#8221; out of pure curiosity. I do these things so that you don&#8217;t have to. And this was one of the more palatable results. I have nothing else to add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/the_grinch_and_cindy_lou_who5.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/the_grinch_and_cindy_lou_who5.jpg?resize=500%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/the_grinch_and_cindy_lou_who5.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/the_grinch_and_cindy_lou_who5.jpg?resize=208%2C300&amp;ssl=1 208w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/the_grinch_and_cindy_lou_who5.jpg?resize=56%2C80&amp;ssl=1 56w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something about seeing the Grinch holding a beer really tickles an itch in my brain. It&#8217;s so on-brand but the prudes at Disney won&#8217;t ever let it happen. In real life the Grinch would be a raging alcoholic, 100% necking White Lightning and scaring dogs in the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trouserlessness is also on-brand, imo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/The-Grinch-Costume-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"821\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/The-Grinch-Costume-1.jpg?resize=616%2C821&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/The-Grinch-Costume-1.jpg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/The-Grinch-Costume-1.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cookywook.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/The-Grinch-Costume-1.jpg?resize=60%2C80&amp;ssl=1 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our final Grinch (I thought there&#8217;d be more), and definitely the most &#8216;movie quality&#8217; costume.
