As discussed in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=211391&pagenumber=2) thread, there has been some talk about having a Londope Halloween party. So while us Londopers are umming and ahhing about it, and so as you funny foreign-types can be involved i thought i’d start a _virtual_ halloween party here. If you want to take part you have to describe: 1. **What costume you are wearing** - the theme is ( rather obviously) Scary/Evil/Baddy costumes. 2. **Which room you are hanging out in** - for hyperthetical purposes this party is taking place in a reasonably big house. 3. **What you are doing.** So to kick off, I’m hanging out in the Kitchen. I was in the living room/lounge but someone has just whacked the volume on the stereo up and you can’t hear yourself think in there let alone chat to anyone. Anyway, i’m standing here decked out in full _Star Wars_ Stormtrooper Armour (sans helmet) drinking a beer and moaning to someone about how many people have turned up as Mr Smith out of _The Matrix_. Over to you guys and gals… ---

I’m in the living room dressed as my favorite character from The Matrix. I just cranked up the stereo to drown out some Star Wars geek in the kitchen whining about the costumes… 😃 ---

1. PIRATE! 2. Back porch/yard. Kind of chilly, but the bon fire is neat. 3. Chatting up **vanilla** , **angua** , **fizzygoodmakefeelnice** , **vivalostwages** , **Jaade** , **Super Gnat** , **Baker** , and various other Doper Babes™. Having a great conversation, btw! **Polycarp** is telling jokes and **Esprix** is explaining the advantages of tape floss. ---

Drunken scuffle kicks off between **Me** and **Love4Life** over absolutely nothing at all. Its a classic drunken fight in that: 2. **Coldfire** , dressed as a giant Tulip (he claims its a Triffid but no one believes him) breaks up the fight. And tells us to stop acting like children. 3. We apologise sheepishly to each other and embark on a lifelong friendship full of many wild and wicky adventures 😃 ---

Somebody loves me! Somebody loves me! Halloween fights are the best. Where else can you see a werewolf trying to kick the crap out of a clown (Yes, I really saw that). Now I’m just standing in the corner, wearing my Agent Smith outfit, staring behind my sunglasses and occassionally touching my earpiece as though I’m receiving instructions, waiting for someone to arrive dressed as a french maid, slave girl, dominatrix, or carrying a bottle of Jager…it’s all good. ---

I’m a hooker. Fishnet stockings, huge blonde wig, tall shoes, the works. I’m at the keg getting progressively drunker as the party goes on. Then I wander around the entire house making an idiot out of myself. ---

Well considering how I always forget to get a costume and then just ramble up whatever I can… I show up as a vampire. My hair is up in a slick french flip and I’ve got the dark eyeliner and dark red lipstick going. Heeled ankle boots and black pants with a white top and a calf length jacket with only a string holding it together in the front. Fangs are looking mighty real too… I’m hanging out in the backyard keeping a healthy distance from the bonfire and chatting up with NoClueBoy while I sip my red punch… ---

A pregnant vampire would be so cool! (I sure hope I have the right poster…) How _you_ doin, **Obs Flutt**? ---

I’m there as the **Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man** from **Ghostbusters**. This is not only befitting my natural uh…largesse, but allows me to wear a beret in public- always a plus. I’m moving around, enjoying the conversation and fine finger foods. I’ve got my eye on a special gal, who hasn’t revealed herself yet. She’s hiding in the library with her feet up, reading a rare volume of Victorian tales of wanderlust and hinterlands, while all the time looking resplendant in her 18th Century French-Canadian ensemble. 😛 Cartooniverse ---

I show up, dressed as [Mad Madam Mim](http://images.disneysites.com/clipart/images77/Movies/Sword_in_the_Stone/Madame_Mim/mim02.gif) , which suits my natural tendencies towards the squatty and somewhat (at this time anyway)tubby-like shape of my body.🙂 I grab a beer and go hang out with **Obsidian Flutterby** and commiserate with her about the woes of being pregnant. 😃 MetalMaven ---

I’m not too bad. _grins revealing her fangs and somehow managing not to lisp_ (Can you tell I’ve worn them before?) Enjoying the party? Enjoys the commiseration from MetalMaven. Heh… by the time Halloween comes around for real I’ll be to big to get into my costume! The LARP group I’m with is holding October’s on the 31st… it’s set in the dark ages and what I cobbled together has a skirt that is snug to my waist… I’ll probably not fit into it this month either. Maybe my character will dress like a guy for the last couple this year lol… ---

I’m dressed as the evil Ursula from The Little Mermaid. Complete with attached huge foam butt ! My costume is all glittery and purple, and I 'm toting a loooooooong cigarette holder between my blood red talons. At the moment I’m sneaking a smoke out on the back porch, wishing **Aesiron** would hurry his rear end on over to the party. And where’s **Homebrew** with his special Halloween suds? ---
