How to Create a Joey Gladstone Costume

Cut it out! So you want to be Joey Gladstone for Halloween. Perhaps your best buds chose Danny and Jessie, or perhaps your favorite has always been the lovable Joey. Joey was the favorite of many on the show "Full House," and he was the friend with a heart of gold. All the Tanner girls adored Joey, and he was the softie of the group.

Moderate

Instructions

1. Embrace your inner comic. Don't even dare to attempt this costume if you are going to be glum and serious.

2. Watch "Woody Woodpecker" and Saturday morning style cartoons for weeks to get down Joey's humor. Include "Popeye" in the mix. Watch episodes and scenes of "Full House" that focus on Joey's sense of humor. His impersonations were legendary and are an essential part of your Joey persona for the costume.

3. Start from toe to head for Joey. Get a fun pair of sneakers. Yes, they can be themed to a cartoon or comedic theme. The more outrageous, the better off you are. Matching or patterned socks will work just great.

4. Find a pair of loose blue jeans that fit comfortably. Joey was a comedian and into radio and advertising. He kept it cool and casual.

5. Wear a shirt that is offbeat and fun. Joey is not a character that begs you to take him seriously on the first look. On the contrary, Joey wants to make you smile from your first impression of him. Keep this in mind when choosing your costume shirt.

6. Style your dirty blond hair loosely and casually, or wear a wig that is fairly short and is dirty blond.

7. Practice your Joey stand-up in front of the mirror. It may seen absurd at first, but you will see that it is helpful. You can evaluate if you're ready to wear your Joey costume or if you need some preparation time.
