I’ve been kicking around the idea of messing with the swedish chef. I’ve got two ideas: One is to put him in a tuxedo with a classy little half-apron, a rubber chicken and a martini.
The other is to run around wearing nothing but an Apron and the chef’s hat, load up on glowsticks and pacifiers and be Swedish Chef on Ecstacy. I really like this one.
I’m going to be a fallen angel.
I have a black fluffy halo, some black angel wings, a black corset top, fishnets, knee high black boots and a long black gothic looking cross. The only thing I don’t have yet is a skirt - but I do have some lovely (but cheap) black crushed velvet lying around so I’ll make up a skirt with that 
All done on the cheap too - I found things at the dollar shop or on sale, or reused stuff I already had.
Marry me!
Actually, I think you should make sure that the costume fits, and take pics as you go. You know, a pic with each article of clothing.
And then share. Purely for critique purposes, of course.
I’ll be wearing
Thanks for the ruby slipper suggestions, everyone, but I did the spray adhesive-glitter thing last time and the glitter got EVERYWHERE and the shoes looked pretty crappy. I ended up getting sequined red fabric and will cover a pair of old shoes with that (using spray adhesive probably).
I’ll take pics and post when I’m done!
Alas, you are too late. I am already engaged to Acid Lamp. I am, however, always on the lookout for more minions. 
As for you, Tristan, I’ll be sure to photograph the results if I ever break out the darned sewing machine. I can’t go naked on the bottom half.
I just realized I’m not working on Halloween, and thus will have few people to show my costume to. :eek: Maybe I’ll go grocery shopping that day just to have someone to show it to in person. The clerks already think me and Acid Lamp are nice but pretty strange folks. Oh, wait, I’m not working the day after either! Maybe I’ll go see RHPS in my steampunk air pirate gear…
I have no good excuse, but someone needs to dress up like this and carry some corn starch or powdered sugar to toss at people. Because Raggedy Ann-thrax would just be fun. 
This year, we’re finally doing a couple costume. We’re throwing a “Halloween In Springfield” party, and all our friends are really getting into the spirit. So, as host and hostess, he’ll be Mayor Quimby and I’ll be his date, Miss Springfield. I’ve made the sashes and my tiara, and he’ll wear a suit while I’ll wear a pink dress.
My friends are throwing a "Haunted Londontown " party and I’m flying into Burbank to be Nosferatu.
Naturally I’ll be bringing several cases of Nosferatu Ale from Cleveland’s Great Lakes Brewery.
I’ve done a little more work on my arc reactor:
Good enough, I guess?
Doesn’t look very accurate, and I still need to add a couple pieces, including the LEDs. I guess it will be ok since most of the time it will be underneath a shirt.
That’s really awesome!
For the first time ever, we have a house where kids can actually Trick or Treat (before either our street was too short for attention or there was vacant / abandonded places on both sides – not exactly an endorsement to ring our bell) and I am sooooooooooooo excited. In honor, I’m making a Cave of Doom they’ll have to traverse first to get the goods. 
At the end will be me dressed as
Frank the rabbit from Donnie Darko. Want some candy you naughtly little children?
That looks fantastic, bouv! I’m impressed.
We’ve got a “toxic spill graveyard” thing going on right now, with radioactive toxic zombies littering the lawn. It’s quite fun, and I hope the kids like it. Acid Lamp scared the bejesus out of the neighbor kids last year, and then they brought their friends to see it too.
Halloween’s not as fun if you don’t get scared a little.
nashiitashii, that sounds so cool! You guys should definitely post ‘after’ pictures. I would, but still don’t have a digital camera. I need to put that on my List of Things to Do. Heh.
On another note, watching the last presidential debate tonight has given my significant other an idea… I definitely think he’ll be haunting as Joe the Plumber come the 31st.
