Get Yourself Some Pimps Costumes
Pimp Costumes can be a good costume idea for a party or even Halloween. Dressing as a Pimp is all about being ostentatious. You have to have loud clothing to go with a loud ‘personality’. Apparently dressing in outrageous clothing and adorning oneself with blinding bling is to show that you are important and wealthy. You stand out from the crowd and this attracts women to you. You could then try to turn them out. Looking flash and important also let’s them know that you are a successful man (a playa no less) and someone that could see them right and look after them.

Nowadays it seems to be almost a cliche or parody on how a pimp should look to be dressed in alligator shoes, snakeskin jackets or be adorned in all sorts of jewelry. Hence the fondness of people to dress in so called pimp costumes for parties and other dress up occasions. Dressing in such outrageous costumes is a great way to lose your inhibitions and really have a good time. And the reactions you will get from other people will help you have a good time too. Despite the undeniable seediness and exploitation that goes on in the real pimp world, these costumes are meant to be seen as a bit of fun. And this is the general reaction you will get at a party.
Here are a few pimp costume options to look at.
The Sweet Daddy Beaujolais costume consists of a red, velvet like jacket and pants with zebra-print trim. A matching fedora-styled hat and gold neck scarf come with the outfit to add to the super mack look of the costume. Adding a cane and various bits of bling add to the overall look of the costume and are recommended.
The Supa Pimp Mama Costume lets women dress up as a pimp too. This costume consists of a cheetah print jacket with black faux feather trim, a gold belt, a pair of black bottom slit pants, and a metallic gold top. A cheetah print fedora with a gold buckle is also included to complete this Supa Pimpish ensemble. Again, you need to add a few extra pieces to the costume to give it that special look, notably a few pieces of jewelry, a pimp cane and some outrageous shoes.

The pimping world has got more and more coverage in recent times. In the US, the first piece of pimping literature was written by Iceberg Slim in the 1960s. It was a loose autobiography of his times as a pimp. It had a vibrant language and a unique voice. The novel introduced the reader to many of the slang terms used by pimps and the African American urban culture around Chicago at the time. Iceberg Slim went on to write many other novels set in the inner city landscapes. It became known as urban fiction or black pulp fiction. The man and his work are often cited as an inspiration for many comedians and hip hop artists of the present day.

More recent coverage of the pimping life can be found in the documentary American Pimp. This film interviews various pimps and explains the lifestyle and many of the terms that are used. Many of the people featured in the film have become semi famous and gone on to run legitimate enterprises or even tour as motivational speakers. Others have wound up in jail. It’s a fascinating insight into this world, even though you feel uneasy about the exploitation and manipulation that is demonstrated in some parts.
