I’m still looking for ideas. So far my favorite costume to date has been the 6’2" beautiful gay boys cross dressed as hooter’s waitresses. However, since I’m not drawn like that it wouldn’t be a very funny costume on me.
The chick in a sparkly red dress with red horns & triton is so overdone. I wish that costume idea would take a one way trip to the bottom of the sea. (sorry kfl)
One idea I would like to see is someone dressed as a wooden horse with Matrix like characters printed all over the horse, and a trap door that opened at the front. Inside You’d have a guy or gal with a pocket protector & slide rule who would open the trap door and hand out little baggies of Jalapeno flavored Jelly Bellies.
Beware of Geeks bearing gifts.
man, I would love that.
I also loved the guy in the big pointy hat dressed as a Purple Crayola Crayon. I think the body of the costume was that foam stuff that he’d stapled into a cylinder and cut arm holes & such.
mrbuddylee How about getting some wire coat hangers and making a hat that is kind of like a chef’s hat, but really, it’s a whisk. You could use a similar approach to the crayon idea for the body/whisk handle. You could staple the biscuit boxes all over a cheap apron or housecoat for your wife, and get her a wig, and dust her all over with flour.
(I gotta say I love the ‘partly cloudy with chance of showers’ idea. That’s classic.)
I’ll probably be going as Superman this year, caught in mid-change of clothes. Suit, dress shirt, tie, black plastic frame glasses. Shirt torn open to reveal the familiar ‘S’. Total cost for costume: $15 for Superman t-shirt. (What can I say, I’m lazy when it comes to costumes.) It was either that, or go as the main character from GTA 3: spiked hair and sideburns, black leather jacket, green cargo pants, sneakers… and carrying a bat.
I found a coat that is almost perfect. It has a large logo on the back, though, that I can’t get rif of. It also has a small one on the front, but that will be coverded up by the giant ‘N’.
I also want to actually make the controller like it is on his belt, get some green LED’s to make a little bar on the top, hollow out the controller for some batteries so they can glow.
I’m going to Dope-A-Ween with Siege and I’m wearing my evening gown that I wore last year to the Titanic dinner, a black and silver feather boa, tap shoes, black gloves, silver glitter on my face and a tiara. My mother is going to make me a wand.
I’m calling myself the Celestial Grand Duchess of Wraiths.
Thanks. I’m the master of the non-costume, or the costume based entirely around sweatshirts, jeans, and sneakers.
Last year, I pinned socks, panties, lint, and dryer sheets all over myself and went as static cling. People were alternately mystefied and cracking up
The year before that, I stapled a bunch of sponges to my clothes and was self absorbed.
I’ll be wearing an antique blue velvet falling apart dress (probably it’s last Halloween, sniff), wet put up hair, and a life preserver with Titanic painted on.
A vampire bat. Black hooded sweatshirt, black sweatpants, wings made from cutting a couple of umbrellas apart (I’ll be safety pinning them to the sleeves of the sweatshirt), ears made out of felt, vampire fangs. Should be plenty comfy to wear all day at work…
That’s it! This year, I will wear a red body stocking smf jsyand staple pads and tampons to myself! Thanks!
One year I wore a Santa jacket, black boots and a Santa hat. Underneath I wore a flesh body stocking, and I was the “flashing Santa.”
Last year, I wore my Cat-in-the-Suessical hat, a white Evita gown with a Madonna bullet-bra on top, and carried my Mamma Mia beach ball. I got three offers to buy the beach ball.

I saw the Duff Man at a George Clinton concert last year… it was neat-o! I myself am going to be a Pirate, arrrrrrrrr!!! I got my pirate name from talklikeapirate.com… its Red Bess Bonnie. Watch out though, I’m going to be wearing a bodice and that means VAST TRACKS OF LAND will be prominently (sp?) displayed!
