    Turning one Halloween costume into two looks: Channel Adam Lambert & Columbuswithout changing

    Steven Devadanam
    Oct 27, 2010 | 2:02 pm
    • Mary-Kate channels indigenous-Catholic-chic.
    • The Virgin of Guadalupe channels amphetamine-obsessed child stars.
    • Double trouble: Cat and Jennifer Cora
    • Is that a Disney stud or 20-term governor? Nobody will know the difference!
    • A little bird told us you can snag this outfit at Walmart.

    Multitasking is this Halloween weekend's mantra. The convenience of a Saturday night Oct. 30 party (which assumedly turns into Halloween) and efforts by other purists to throw a bash on Sunday evening has us all scrambling for multiple costumes in order to not be caught in the same outfit twice.

    Take a breath and realize that you can don the same duds both nights and simply adopt different titles. Reference this list of last minute costumes that takes döppelgangers to a delightfully scary extreme:

    Mary-Kate Olsen OR the Virgin of Guadalupe

    Go for hooded bathrobes and ornate kimonos to master this waif-deity look. If you have the resources, take a GeMagic to a gauzy, old Snuggie, and you're set. In the event that you find mocking religious vestiges potentially offensive, then go as Mary-Kate on Saturday, and on Sunday eat one cracker and then say you're Ashley Olsen.

    Adam Lambert OR Christopher Columbus

    Since both Adam Lambert and Christopher Columbus came out of the closet this year, this costume couldn't be more timely. Sure, you'll have to switch up the accessories, but the pursuit of shiny things will carry over from one day to the next.

    Brett Favre's Flaccid Penis OR Brett Favre's Erect Penis

    Size may not matter, but original Halloween costumes definitely do. Take a page from Page Six and dress as Brett Favre's ambiguously aroused member. There's a chance it will be cold outside, but leave your hoodie at home if you don't want to be caught looking like an uncircumcised little prick.

    Washington Ave. Bro' OR Australian Refugee

    The assumed uniform of Washedupington Corridor bar hoppers, Ed Hardy clothing, has been banned in Stonnington, Australia, resulting in a mass expunging of glittery skull T-shirt devotees from the continent nation. Bonus: both personalities like riding Waves.

    Cat Cora OR Cat Cora's partner

    There's nothing wrong with a little self-love, and when you're a celebrity chef, it's understandable to want to spend your life with a mirror image of yourself. Experience the magic of these duplicate dames for yourself on Halloween, but don't be surprised if you also get confused with Chelsea Handler.

    Rick Perry OR Gaston from Beauty and the Beast

    Just released from the Disney vault: chiseled features and a receding dark hairline. Deck yourself out as one of these strapping lads and you'll spend Halloween weekend resisting offers from aspiring governor's mansion butlers and the Belles of the costume ball (or children's cartoon enthusiasts). Either way, you're in for a good time.

    Slutty Big Bird OR Flapper Tranny

    Dressing up as a promiscuous muppet is very "now," so capitalize on this trend before it goes the way of the Slanket and infinity scarf. When you're covered in yellow feathers, pink stripper heals and a frilly mini, you're sure to be the mother hen of the party. The next day, dazzle some dudes with this embodiment of 1920s flash. Best of all, this classy 'stume is available at Walmart.

    Snooki's Poof OR a Rat

    Emancipating a reality star's signature appendage was the "it" Halloween trend in New York and Paris in 2009, but we're just now starting to see it take root in Houston. And what better way to embrace it than to go as Jersey Shore diva Snooki's distinctive hair?

    When you rebrand yourself as a subway rodent on Sunday, you can continue conversations about Fashion Week and speak in a trashy New York accent. See, this isn't that hard to pull off. If you need more inspiration, look to Banksy or the poof's Facebook fanpage and Twitter personality, @SnookisPoof.

    Editor's note: Want to party with CultureMap on Halloween? We're teaming up with 13 Celsius for a Halloween bash Sunday from 4 p.m. to midnight. There's no cover charge, but food and drinks will be available for purchase. Wear your best double-purpose costume and see if we can guess your alter ego.

    FIGS will open its new Rice Village Community Hub on December 6.

    Healthcare apparel company FIGS is opening its first brick-and-mortar store in Texas with a new Community Hub in Rice Village. The retail space is designed to serve both as a store and a gathering spot for the city's healthcare community.

    The Rice Village location opens this Saturday, December 6, with a public grand opening event on December 13 from 6 to 8 pm featuring giveaways, music, food, and drinks from local vendors. Joining outposts in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York City, the Houston location is the fourth Community Hub for the company and the only location in the South.

    The store will carry the full range of FIGS products, including scrubwear, loungewear, and accessories. It will also host events and programming focused on healthcare topics, offering visitors opportunities to meet and share experiences.

    At the new FIGS boutique, shoppers will find the Color Clinic, offering scrubwear in core colors with rotating seasonal options. The store also has a Customization Station, which provides embroidery for names, titles, practice or hospital logos, and local icon options available only at Community Hubs. Personalization is also available for scrub caps, outerwear, and accessories.

    The brand, founded in 2013 by Heather Hasson and Trina Spear, is known for fashion-forward medical uniforms made from a proprietary fabric with four-way stretch, antimicrobial technology, moisture-wicking, and wrinkle resistance. Hasson and Spear began selling directly to healthcare workers in Los Angeles-area hospital parking lots before growing their presence as an online retailer.

    CEO and co-founder Trina Spear believes Rice Village was the perfect choice due to its proximity to the Texas Medical Center. She said the company wanted a space that supports Houston healthcare professionals and gives them a place to shop and connect.

    "Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, and we are honored to bring a FIGS Community Hub to this city. This space is designed to serve and celebrate Houston healthcare professionals," said Spear. "Our Community Hubs create opportunities for customers to not only shop in a way that never previously existed, but to connect with each other and with FIGS on a deeper level."

    FIGS Community Hub, 5515 Kelvin Dr., Suite 130, 77005
