The act of spending an unnecessarily long amount of time preparing for a later event in which one wishes to look nice, for example, a party, pub crawl, or a trip of New Orleans during Spring Break. You then find that you've spent so much time making yourself up, it is too late or pointless to attend said event.

e.g. Behavior typical of girls.
Aaron: "You's in New Orleans?"
Michael: "Nah, the girls took too long gussin'."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
