I’m going to be Frank Rossitano from 30 Rock. Got my hat (“Beef N Bean”), wig, big clunky black glasses, and I just shaved my beard into mutton chops tonight for a party this weekend. Will also probably dress up again to go trick-or-treating with the kiddos in a couple weeks.
I’m dressing up like a functioning member of society.
I’m 46, slim, and I have a shaved head and goatee. I wear glasses (contacts now, but I can always break out my glasses again). I recently received the hazmat costume so I can fully embrace my inner Walter White. I’m planning to teach my classes on Halloween in costume.
Unconscious
I still haven’t decided. Im fat, bearded, and balding. I teach at a boarding school, so whatever I do has to be PG-13 at most. I’ve been threatening for years to get a kilt and go as a highland warrior, but it’s too late to do it this year.
So… I’m still pondering.
My husband and I are going to be Babe Ruth Bader Ginsburg. If we don’t get at least five groans I’ll be disappointed.
Same as every year: Jeremy Spencer Tracy Nelson Eddy Albert Gore Vidal Sassoon. It’s complicated but amusing.
Hidden.
I suck at costume design in October. Now, come November I’ll have dozens of ideas.
Tipsy.
What are you gonna be for Halloween?
With any luck, taken into the spirit world.
My team voted to rewind 50 years and all be hippies for the Halloween tournament. We’ve won the team costume contest 4 of the last 5 years, so there is some pressure here. I’ve got my wig, headband, vest, tie-dye T-shirt and peace medallion ready, and I think I have an old “Impeach Nixon” button around somewhere.
Amen to that. Along with St Patrick’s Day, xmas, easter, Arbor Day, NYE, MLK Day, etc, Halloween has become a big day for dranking.
This year I was Boo-berry, the cereal ghost, for a Trunk or Treat event.
I wasn’t able to do a “big costume” for the big party I go to every year…the theme was “decades” and a bunch of the party-goers are friends from high school so I just put on a shirt from high school and combat boots. They got it.
I have one more party and still don’t have a costume so I’ll either dig out my nun costume, or just put in my cool vampire fangs and that’ll be it.
Asleep. I have to get up at 3am the next morning.
I keep thinking I should go as a modern Cinderella -
Grubby dirty clothes, a little dirt on the face, hair up in a sloppy bun/updo…
And walk around wearing only one sneaker.
I like it. And leave the other sneaker just outside the front door. Would be interesting to see if anyone could work it out and brought the missing sneaker to you.
This. And probably cold.
Steampunk vampire.
I want to be Crazy Cat Lady. Buy a cheap robe, sew stuffed animal cats all over it, shower cap with foam rollers taped on.
