20 Oct Girl With One Arm Pulls Off The Most Epic Halloween Costume You’ll Ever See

Halloween is an excuse to get extremely creative with absolutely no shame. Whether it be blood gushing from your eye socket, or a knife through your abdomen, the possibilities for gore and horror are endless.

This is also something that is especially true for Lauren Duck, who lost her arm in a freak accident. The 21-year-old, with an unparalleled sense of humor, has incorporated her extreme misfortune into her Halloween costume and it’s truly epic.

Duck, from San Diego, has garnered an enormous following online as a result of her witty updates in which she uses the loss of her arm as the center of her jokes.

Earlier this year, she went viral after her amusing Tinder bio was shared online. “Hands down the best catch on tinder,” her profile read, before listing her qualities: “face 10/10, body 9/10, personality 20/10, arms 1/2.” Not only that, but she had also listed her profession as an “arms dealer.”

Duck lost her arm in a freak accident on June 29th, 2016, which she recalled for Buzzfeed News:

“I was going pretty fast on a moped and lost control of it, and I hit the median in the road. I flew off and hit a sign and it sliced my arm off. I stayed conscious the whole time.”

Whilst on the No Jumper podcast, Lauren explained how she was “going like 60 miles per hour, in like a 50 zone” when she swerved and was catapulted from her bike before “a sign sliced [her] arm, like, clean off. It flew like 30 feet, from my body.” Luckily, she was saved by a police officer on the scene who had just received tourniquet training. “I remember I asked the cop, ‘Hey, am I gonna die?’ and he said, ‘No, you’ll be fine,’” she said.

Duck also recalled how doctors ALMOST saved her limb: “Doctors attached my arm back for, like, two months, but in the hospital during the surgery where they’re reconnecting the rest of my nerves they like turned me and I lost blood flow. They had to amputate it.”

To begin with, she struggled with the jokes, finding it painful to see the funny side in her predicament. “For a while, I wasn’t okay with the jokes,” said Lauren, who now has over 100,000 followers on Twitter. “But then I started telling the jokes, and it’s kind of helped.”

Her openness has garnered her thousands of fans online who are inspired by her strong personality. Many find it difficult to laugh at the jokes she makes, but Lauren says she is “completely comfortable with it.” So, don’t feel ashamed for laughing when you see her kickass Halloween costume…
