This observation is so two minutes ago. 
Yeah, we were robbed, too. Mr. Pundit went as Senator Larry Craig and I went as a bathroom stall.
Mr. Pundit wore a business suit, with the pants dropped around his ankles. (Well, for 5 minutes, then he couldn’t stand it and put them back on). We powdered his hair, put on some glasses, and made business cards and a name badge that said, “Senator Larry Craig, totally NOT gay.” The clincher: tap shoes that I found on e-bay for $20.
My stall was made out of a refrigerator box that we painted with white enamel paint. We cut out the legs to resemble a stall and painted them with silver paint, then cut out a door to which we affixed a metal door handle. We bought a “MEN’S ROOM” sign from Lowe’s and glued it to the front and a toilet paper holder (including a roll of toilet paper) which we glued inside. We even put a hook and eye lock so you could lock it from the inside. Then we scribbled some graffiti ("For a good time, call Al at xxx-xxxx) using people’s name and phone numbers who we knew were going to be at the party. We brought permanent markers so people could write their own graffiti. It was a hit!
The host of the party, who was the only judge, picked a couple dressed up as Men In Black (black suit, white dress shirt, black tie and sunglasses. That was it.) instead of us.
So I commiserate with you Swampwolf. We’ze was robbed, too!
Is it possible the judges don’t know who Mr. T is and mistook you for the local blinged up thug or some guy looking for the nearest rapping contest?
Absoludicrous!
He’s probably complaining because it wasn’t him who dated her.
If you feel MPSIMS is the better place for it, I’ll kiss ass and agree. It is a bit weak and petty.
Mr. T is dated enough that he’s kitch. And kitch is always good for Hallowe’en. But 5 years isn’t long enough to go from cool to lame and back to cool again.
You know those are the same, right? At any rate, unless she was Michelle Pheiffer hot, you wuz indeed robbed.
You couldn’t bring yourself to do it with dark make-up?
How skimpy was Catwoman’s costume? Maybe she did, too.
Upon viewing photos, I think you should have won. I pity da foo.
her costume wasn’t skimpy, and she’s built like a 13-year old. I briefly–very briefly considered blackface. But decided against it after my wife mentioned Ted Danson…
Funny part was, when I told my babydaddy about how I was dressing, he asked if I wanted to borrow some brown shoe polish. And he’s a black man.
It was the whip then, the ho.
I take back my uncharitable thoughts. That is by far the best white-guy-is-Mr.-T I have seen in quite some time. Kudos.
OK. I got it. Next year, same costume. Only do it in whiteface, with Raybans, and go as “Mr. T costumed as Roy Orbison.”
It was pretty darn good, and I’m mildly impressed that you actually shaved the appropriate sections of your hair. I guffawed. 
So, are you going to look like a total moron with the rest of it shaved off after the costume’s over? 
ETA: If it makes you feel better, I only got second place when I was a Snakes on a Plane victim. Apparently I really needed a live snake for people to understand the costume.
You all think that’s bad? I cut way too many eye holes in my sheet and got a bag full of rocks.
Yeah, I know, lame and dated. Flame away.
That’s fucked up, man.
I’m probably going back to a mohawk and van dyke for a short while, then clean-shaven so it grows out evenly.
One year I dressed as Charlie Brown (sheet with too many holes) and went to the downdown “walk around in your costumes” area, stoned outta my gourd. After the third time I heard someone say, “Look! It’s a scrubbing bubble!” I got paranoid, and sat in my car 'til I could drive home.
Big time. Even if the execution sucked (and it sounds like it didn’t in any way), the idea is still a first place winner. Wish I’d thought of it!
That shit is time less !
Damn, I’m old.
While I can always enjoy more catwoman pics when made available, your costume really does rock hard.
