Well, we had our little costume contest here at work this AM. My department at work decided to be the characters from Clue. We took a quick picture, and I’ve put it up [here](http://www.uvm.edu/~nvenet/ClueWho.htm). Some of you must have digital cameras out there. Let’s see your Halloween costumes! ---

You know you’re a geek when you dress up as a [video game character](http://www.quicksilverweb.net/picses/melc3.jpg) for Halloween. 😃 ---

Cool, **Dragon**. Nice costume, although I had to close that pretty quickly; people here would think I was trying to look at something inappropriate. If that costume makes you a geek, then I can definitely say that 93eK 91rL5 4r3 HOT! 1 N33d T0 GET me oN3! 😃 Come on folks! Show us your stuff! ---

Um… My costume is my son’s mask, a pair of boots, and a thong. I took a picture of it, and replaced hubby’s wallpaper with it. 😃 ---

I’ve just won the award for “scariest costume” here at work. I got a “certificate”, and a 5-inch diameter pie pumpkin. (I think I’ll make a mini-jack o’lantern out of it.) Two people took my picture, so I may have something for you to look at eventually. In the meantime… Short spikey hair. Black shirt with spider webs, plus flames and skulls along the bottom. (There’s a name for the style, but I can’t think of it right now. Sort of an LBC Hawaiian thing.) White cake makeup on my face and arms with Ben Nye PC-81 “Cadaver Grey” accents. Ben Nye CL-23 Blue-Grey on my lips, and also as veins on my forehead. More Ben Nye, this time red, used as eyeliner. Add a light dusting of baby powder (to set the makeup and add a “graveyard dust” effect), some cobwebs, and an ugly grimmace, and _voila_ – instant zombie. I could have put more into it, but I didn’t know if I was going to do it until I got here. Not my best effort, but one guy only recognized me by my “soul patch” and I _did_ win the “scariest costume” recognition, so I guess it’s okay for work. ---

[Okay, here it is](http://pw1.netcom.com/~heliboy/scary.jpg). I made better faces in the mirror. This pose makes my face look fatter than it is. ---

[Daphne, Fred and Velma](http://www.boomspeed.com/cataclysm/DaphneFredVelmaScooby.JPG). Ok, so the Scooby wasn’t really there, we’re missing Shaggy, and it wasn’t really for Halloween (dress up day for Year 12)… but the costumes are still pretty nifty 🙂 I’m Velma (the orange and brown one on the right) ---

I wanted to dress up as a straight guy, but my wardrobe, wrists, and voice put the kiboch on the whole thing. 😃 ---

A group of friends (two guys, tow girls) decided to go as a box of tamopns. I was the lead tamopn. Whenever I get the pictures off a friend, I’ll post them. ---
