Halloween is fast approaching. By now people are thinking hard of what could be the most unique costume they can wear to Halloween parties. Well, Mexicans have found the best solution to that.
In Mexico, only two costumes were competing in the market -- that of the country"s most notorious drug lord who is currently at large, El Chapo; and that of the most controversial presidential hopeful, Donald Trump.
According to a report from The Star, El Chapo masks and costumes are selling like hot cakes in the country. One of the companies that capitalized on the high demand of the El Chapo masks is Caretas. The small factory had already produced more than 2,600 El Chapo and had exported a big portion to the U.S. and Canada, The Star reported.
Designer Hector Bustos shared that selling El Chapo masks was initially a private joke shared among the factory"s workers. But the joke became too interesting that they immediately jumped on it. Caretas CEO Diego Esponda said that the fear and hilarity with which the mask emits is that the drug kingpin remains in the outside world and had in fact successfully staged two escapes.
"It"s kind of funny, isn"t it: We captured him twice and he escapes twice, right? So, you know, we aren"t glorifying anybody. On the contrary, I think this is a wake-up call to the government, which captures him and then he escapes," Esponda told The Star.
Next on the popularity list are masks and costumes of Republican presidential hopeful Trump whom the majority of the Mexicans hate. The candidate had lambasted the Mexicans as drug dealers and rapist in a speech announcing his presidential bid.
The Trump Halloween costumes are designed with mouths opened in what could be described as Trump"s face when terrified bordering astonished. The mask is made all the scarier or funnier with his signature blond hairdo. "The Donald Trump one is also selling very well in the United States. I mean, he is the most hated person right now in Mexico," Esponda said.
On Thursday, Trump Halloween costumes is the top trending search terms on Google, The New York Daily News reported. On the list were Lam and Elvie of the "Descendants," Scarlet Witch from marvel"s Comics and characters from Nickelodeon"s "APW Patrol." The classic Chewbacca from "Star wars" was also on the list.
The New York Daily News also noted that other retailers have jumped into the whole Trump Halloween costume craze. Over at Yandy.com, a sultry costume being sold under the name "Donna T. Rumpshaker" is getting traction among buyers.
