We finally decided on what to be for Halloween.
My son had thought to be a dog.
So, it suddenly hit me!
I’m gonna be Ozzy!
I’ll shuffle around mumbling, yelling, “SHARON!”
I’ve gotta get the accent down though.
A great idea.
I’ve thought of saying my subject, but…I don’t know these people, and they could get offended or not know what I mean!
ha ha
mumble mumble…
I’m Mistress Elisabeth in my new Renaissance garb!
I was thinking of being a black cat and dressing Shancat up as a witch, if I could find a witch costume that would fit him.
Isn’t Halloween 3 months away still? Or is it celebrated early in some parts of the world?
I think I could do a killer Lara Croft, all I’d need is a coupla nerf balls to stick in my bra, but I have nowhere to go on Halloween, so no excuse to dress up … 
I want to be a pineapple

I actually saw some Halloween candy on display in the drug store. It was in a Halloween box. At first I thought ‘those must be old’, only to realize that no they were just the first.
AAAAAAHAHHHHhHHHHHHHH!!!
Well, yeah, but for all of us crafty, make-your-own-costume types, the time to get cracking is NOW. Otherwise, you end up running around on Halloween night with a ball of yarn, an old placemat, and some safety pins trying desperately to compose some sort of disguise.
As for me, I’m thinking of going for an “Old Crotchety Librarian”–easily dressed at goodwill. The tricky part is, I want to make the Little Guy a book costume to match me. I’ve thought about using a sandwich board-type design, but he’s only one and I don’t know how much that would interfere with his walking. Any ideas?
Belladonna- cute idea. How about makin’ the little guy into a bookworm?
That is SO cute! However, I do understand your concerns with his walking. Why not just make him a cute little kid who’s breaking all the library rules by making too much noise? Then, you get to show off your crochety old librarian idea by "SHHHHHHHHH"ing him constantly. Instead of making him carry books, attatch bookcovers to the sides of his candy bag, and make one side look like the spine.
'nuther vote for bookworm. I see a sorta Swee’pea affair, but with a clittelum.
(Yes, I know that actual bookworms don’t have visible clitteli. And they gots legs. Bookworms gots legs, I tell ya! And too many of the damned things.)
Yes, bookworms and mildew are my mortal enemies. Cuz I’m a bookworm. Figuratively. I’m so confused.
Ooh that gives me an idea. I’m usually clueless as to what to wear for halloween. I tend to be too broke to buy anything and I have no talent in making things. Now I can just use my wench garb from faire and throw something together. Yay.
God i already picked my costume and i buy them from the stores. but i always have to pick early because after i look at the selection i change my mind every four freakin seconds… but this year the winner is … GoGo Girl! sounds kinda lame but my BF is gonna drees up like austin powers so that we match at the party . I would dress up like felicity shagwell or foxy cleopatra. but i dont really have the hair ,or the legs , or the boobs for either costume.
Since I’m a regular SCAdian, as well as the rest of the folks I would party with, we outlaw garb for Halloween. It’s cheating, I tell you!
However, showing up at work in full 13th century plackard plate was fun.
Some variation on fairy/pixie/tinkerbell or something. Wings, wand, skimpy little outfit…
Oh, did I mention that I’m a 6’4", 230 lb male with a shaved head and tatoos?
“Yeah, I’m yer freakin’ fairy godmother. The temp agency sent me”
Jon, that reminds me of the big burly trucker type I saw in a Vegas bar several years ago. Wings, tutu, and wand… “I’m yer f*ckin toot’ fairy. Ya gotta problem wit’ dat?”
He was great, and you will be too. Go for it!
Black plague. I wanna be the black plague.
Yeah, I was afraid that it had been done before 
S’okay, I bet he wasn’t wearing hi-top Converse.
Just discussing it is giving me more ideas…I gotta talk to my friend-the-seamstress…
I always end up wearing garb, because it’s all I have and I don’t sew.
My roommate goes as a murder victim (blood all down her shirt, and a huge gash across her throat).
This is a little disconcerting for her (college) students, as I’m sure you can imagine.
Do you already have your costume? I’m always looking for new ideas. I think I’ll start a thread about props.
