Is anyone going to dress up for halloween? I was thinking about being Tangled Up in Blue… (all I have to do is get my hands on some blue yarn) What are your ideas? ---

Mr. Amanita and I are going to a block party that night, and I’m desperately trying to come up with an idea for a duo costume. I thought of Sigfriend and Roy (with a toy tiger attached to the throat of whoever is Roy, of course), but our wardrobes are very low on sequins. There’s always the old gender-switch Sonny and Cher costume, I suppose. ---

Sigfriend? _Sigfriend_? I guess I shouldn’t have had all that crack for breakfast. ---

I was thinking about being Parker Posey’s character in “The House of Yes”. With a Pink Chiffon dress. Matching pill-box hat. Hair just so. Ketchup for blood. And little bits of macaroni and other things glued on the front. ---

I’m going as Ted Williams. Wool hat, scarf, mittens, frosted hair, blueish skin, Sox jersey, styrofoam cooler around the waist, dry ice pouring out of cooler. You know, the usual. ---

A friend is having a drag party, so after I got past the temptation to wear some racing get up, I came up with a black and white concept. I found some black shoes that fit me, I’m going to get black & white striped stockings, a black skirt, white shirt, black wig, then paint my face geisha white with black highlights. There’s no way I can pass as a female, so I thought I’d go for freaky. ---

Depressed. I had to cancel my trip to New Orleans for that week. ---

my boyfriend would probably like it if I went as Rogue from X-Men but it might be hard to find the cool outfit. I could easily put white streaks in my hair though. 🙂 ---

Larry Flynt. I just got a wheelchair this weekend and I’m spray painting it gold, and I’m gonna wear a Hustler t-shirt and sport coat. ---

> [@](#): > > Larry Flynt. I just got a wheelchair this weekend and I’m spray painting it gold, and I’m gonna wear a Hustler t-shirt and sport coat. I notice no mention of pants with that outfit… For work I’m going as a pro wrestler and a cow-orker is going to be my sexy manager. For out I’m going to recycle my fairy princess costume from work last year, and depending on how many events I have I’ll keep my skeleton and devil costumes in reserve. Anybody have any webspace they would care to donate for Doper-ween pics? I’m happy to let y’all use my Yahoo! photo space if you want to email me pics but if somebody wanted to do something, you know, _nice_-looking that’d be good too. ---

Monty Burns from the Simpsons. I found a great rubber mask. …which is great in lieu of the “Who Shot Mr. Burns?” episode, where Chief Wiggum exclaims “Look, this isn’t Mr. Burns…it’s a mask!” \ “Oh, wait…it is Burns. The skin looks kinda like a rubber mask.” ---

I am torn between a mermaid costume and a lady gangster (circa 1920ish) costume. I need one more thing for either costume, so I guess it depends on what I find first: a violin case, or green shoes. ---

Pull out the “sexy devil” costume I bought 3 years ago and buy new red fishnets; or 2. don my lepoard-print skirt, army boots, and “Five by Five” t-shirt, then break myself off a big hunk of tree. ---

I think I’ve posted this in another thread, but Mr. Amanita and I have decided to dress up as Mr. and Mrs. Conan the Governor. He’s planning to wear a loincloth with suit jacket and tie, Viking horns, and carry a sword. I’m planning a tailored skirt topped with a wenchy bodice with leather accents, professional pumps and hose, pearls, Official Political Wife Helmet Hair™, and pillbox hat with Viking horns on. Oh, and white gloves. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-going-to-be-for-halloween/207383.md?page=2)
