My husband and I usually do complementing costumes. Weā€™ve been lion and lion tamer, little red riding hood and the big bad wolf, and pirates. I think this year Iā€™m going to be a witch and heā€™s going to be a broom. Iā€™m pretty limited here with costume supplies, and witch is mostly makeup and hat. Broom should be pretty simple. I thought about Dorothy and a flying monkey, but I just donā€™t think I could get together the stuff I would need. ---

Dressing up as ā€œMarge Simpsonā€ was the most fun Iā€™ve ever had in a Halloween costume. You can get a $5 white ā€œpowderā€ wig at any costume store and spray paint it blue. I made the red beads by running a small wire through a bunch of red pom-poms (like the little fuzzy balls on the backs of tennis socks). A plain, green dress and I was ready to go. The hard part was getting my two feet tall wig into the car. ---

[QUOTE=Harmonious Discord] I have a suggestion for people that will just be throwing on black. Try a Spring Heeled Jack outfit. Iā€¦ [/QUOTE] Iā€™ve been wanting to do that for years! and then I found [these.](http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp?pn=3081255&bhcd2=1160671725) So iā€™m thinking next year for [this!](http://theshadowlands.net/jack1.jpg) ---

[QUOTE=hawksgirl] Iā€™ll be theDavis Wiki this year. Iā€™ll put on a white shirt with some sharpies attached so people can write on me. I was planning to keep this from being too tacky by Putting the logo on my face, so I feel dressed up Wearing a long sleeved black shirt underneath, so I donā€™t get my skin or bra marker-stained :eek: Pre-writing an entry across my chest, so no one tries to draw on my boobs. :rolleyes: Yay for cheap, eeeeasy costumes! šŸ™‚ [/QUOTE] Haha nice! While in the dorms at UC Davis (Tercero D Building! w00t!), a few of us decided to go trick or treating around. My boyfriend was visiting and he didnā€™t bring a costume. So he came up with something cute. He wore his PJ pants, a bathrobe, two different shoes and he was unkempt. Wanna guess what he was? ā€¦late for a midterm. Ah I \<3 my geek. ---

Same thing I wear every year: My Cat-in-the-Suessial-hat, my white Evita dress with the Madonna bullet bra on top, and Iā€™ll carry my Mamma Mia beach ball. I love looking cultured. ---

[QUOTE=Pullet] Another easy costume for the fellas: One suit, any color, with tie and collared shirt One shaved head one button of the Superman symbol with a ā€œnoā€ sign through it. Ladies and Gentlemen, Lex Luthor. [/QUOTE] I have a similar idea. Iā€™ll be wearing a suit with a slightly unbuttoned shirt and a loosened tie. Iā€™ll also be wearing a Superman t-shirt underneath the whole outfit. Yep. Clark Kent. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-that-time-again-halloween-costumes/372607.md?page=4)
