Need opinion on my Halloween costume idea

In My Humble Opinion
1

Having Googled for creative DIY ideas, I’ve decided I’m going to be “an identity crisis” for Halloween. Plan is to slap a bunch of those “hello my name is” stickers on me and write different names on them. Probably will wear my hair down on one side and either in a braid or pigtail on the other, and perhaps have some sort of mismatched outfit going on.

Here’s where I’m a bit stuck…a friend suggested that my idea lends itself more to being “multiple personality disorder” and that I should instead put different professions on the stickers. I’m actually okay with ending up being multiple personality disorder, but I wanted some more opinions on the matter. TIA!

I think that would be interesting. Whenever someone asks what you are, you can say “I don’t knooooow!!!”. Yeah, thatll never get old… :slight_smile:

Not so sure about writing different professions instead, though. Do people ever write professions on their “Hello, my name is ____” stickers?

OTOH, if I ran into that, I’d probably think you were an Eminem lyric.

But ignore me; I rather hate those rebus/word salad/*sui generis *costumes and prefer the traditional ones.

we need more information…
you mentioned the name tags, you mentioned the hair style, etc etc…But these are minor details.
The BIG ISSUE , which is much , much more important to the success of how people see your costume is…
how much beer will they have had first?

Ahh, a perfectly respectable question. There will be much consumption of alcohol at this party.

I think nametags with professions would confuse me, seeing it without further context. E.g. are you a “jack of all trades”? Then why the weird hair? etc.

Perhaps use names, but with a question mark at the end: “Hello, my name is Mark?” “Angie?” etc. Names are more closely tied to identity, for me.

I also really like the “I don’t knnoooooooowwwww!” response to anyone who asks who/what you are? :smiley:

Ooh, good call on the question marks!
