Those aren’t argyle.
I’ve been psycho-checking the shipping status of my costume to make sure I don’t get any “Our bad” notices, and it has arrived! I’m buying the last of my accessories today. Maybe next year I’ll have all this done before 10/29? Probably not.
Mind: blown.
I’m not even 100% sure her socks had white argyle patterning on them and weren’t just solid yellow. Plus I’d despaired of finding even solid yellow socks, let alone ones with argyle patterning.
Four years ago, I went as Rorschach. (Take that, all you fucking joiners who only saw the movie and are probably buying a costume in a bag, mumble mumble.) I was sitting on my friend’s living room floor on Halloween night stitching my mask a half-hour before we had to leave for our other friend’s party.
Even the dudes get coordinating sox:
Yellow Kool-Aid might work as a dye also.
They look to be patterned, though, which is what I was expecting, versus a solid color.
Yay, I helped.
Oh yeah, if you do have to go the dyed socks route, be careful if you dry them because the turmeric can burn fairly easily.
Sounds like a challenge to me!
And wear a hockey jersey, aka a hockey sweater, as they call them up there. 
Well, I procrastinated until yesterday, but have started to pull it together. I’m working on a bacon hat.
I have a feeling that I am missing something here, but I am wondering how one gets the idea to make a hat out of bacon. Granted, it is a very well made and creative hat, but seriously… Were you just looking in the fridge one day and thought, “Hey bacon! Now that would make a really cool hat!” 
I’m pretty sure it was the bacon bikini I saw on the web. Although that one was just raw bacon draped over a naked chick. Cooking bacon is a lot more difficult due to the shrinkage factor.
I should have known! 
We had a major snowstorm (2 feet) Wednesday and Thursday and it got down to 18° yesterday morning. I went out today to get a pumpkin at the store which had huge piles of them in big displays for a couple of weeks. Apparantly snow and cold are not good for pumpkins, as all the stores have chucked their displays. Not a pumpkin to be found.
I’m not going to have a jack-o-lantern for the first time ever.
Darryl Lict is tapping into an existing phenomenon, whether he knows it or not.
I figured someone probably did it before. I had seen a couple of woven baked bacon sculptures, though. I did construct the hat and it’s underlying infrastructure entirely on my own. I designed a hotdog hat way before the web got popular. It took 5 pounds of hotdogs and was a motherfuck to wear.
::sniff:: That’s the mostest beauteous thing I ever saw!!
I want one.
Badly.
I lead such a sheltered life.
You are the greatest person on the internet. Fact.
I discovered last year that yellow accessories are a pain to find. I was making a Batgirl costume and wanted a yellow belt and yellow gloves. I could have ordered a yellow belt online, but there weren’t any in local stores and I didn’t feel like paying for shipping for something I’d never wear again. I wound up buying a couple of yards of yellow ribbon and wrapping it around a belt I already had.
Even online I couldn’t find yellow costume gloves. Gold, yes. Yellow, no. I eventually concluded that they must not even exist. I made long yellow cuffs out of felt and attached them to my sleeves instead.
That bacon hat is making me hungry.
If that’s not the best item ever, I’ll eat my hat! I mean, I’ll eat his hat.
