The "Hotline Bling" video has destroyed a center part of the internet since it was released two days ago -- the bizarre visual of Drake dancing, often alone, for long periods of time in lots of different weird outfits (along with the phone sex call center at the beginning and James Turrell-esque visuals) have all conspired to create a perfect storm of online insanity.
All this makes for a unique addition to our Drake Halloween costume guide -- there's enough in the "Hotline Bling" video for a full 'nother squad to dress up. (For a full roundup of the maybe too-expensive-for-Halloween clothing involved, hit up Details.) Here, for your squadly enjoyment, is everything you'll need to get your crew together as the entire "Hotline Bling" video all at once, except for fire-ridiculous dad-dancing skills.

Fall Jumpman Drake
The red Moncler jacket (which has apparently sold out in the small and extra-small sizes), the Nike Air Jordan shirt, and, of course, the sweatpants.

OVO Hypebeast Drake
Get an OVO sweatshirt (except it's sold out, so maybe just draw an owl on your normal hoodie). Throw on some striped black jogging pants (blue and red stripes preferable, but it's all negotiable in love and Drake). Add white Nikes.

Turtleneck and Chain Drake
Grey turtleneck (this is apparently the actual sweater, but it costs $400, so you make the call), grey sweatpants, Timbs. Dance. It's lit.

Leather Jacket/James Meme Drake
Find a leather jacket, preferably with a logo and stripes on it (here's the Pro Speed jacket he's wearing). Layer over a white or grey hoodie, throw on some black jeans and black combat boots, and you've got the final form Drake takes in the video.

Call Center Girl
And for the women in your squad (who should totally feel free to dress up like Drake if they want to) or dudes interested in doing some drag for the holiday... get a pink shirt tied in the back. Dem light-washed jeans. And a headset. You're good to go. Just make sure you remember how to do stuff with feet. (Hoop earrings a plus.)

OVO Dancer
Black sneakers, black crop top (or other OVO wear), etc. Most importantly, get ahold of the "Woes" hat from OVO. (Drake is really, really good at making you want to purchase items of clothing.) Go forth and bling.

In New York City's gay nightlife scenes, there seems to exist a line between sexy boys in jockstraps cruising on the dance floor and drag queens lip syncing for tips. While gender maybe be part of our cultural dialogue in a way it never has been before, sometimes it can feel that mainstream gay culture lags behind when it comes to conversations about gender fluidity and androgyny. But genderfucking go-go goddess Rify Royalty is leading a revolution in Brooklyn with Straight Acting, a monthly party celebrating its one year anniversary this week. Straight Acting trolls gay men who uphold rigid definitions of masculinity when it comes to who they'll sleep with, all while shrieking "Yasss queen!" at the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.
