I just finished my tinfoil-covered-box robot costume tonight, and it looks so sweet I can’t wait to show it off. I’ll get pics up tomrrow since nobody’s awake in my house to snap the shot right now. In the meantime, does anyone else have a costume they’re particularly proud of this year? Post with pics if possible!
I don’t know for sure yet, no one has replied to my question about it.
I have a big Elmo doll that you can push the stomach and it talks. I cut the head off, cut the legs off, and gutted it completely. I am going to duct tape Elmo’s head to my head, and then duct tape his body and legs to a wife-beater shirt. Then I will tape the voice mechanism to my side and spatter blood on the shirt and doll. If people ask me anything, I will press my side and Elmo can then ask for a hug.
I was a schoolgirl this year. Corny, I know, but all the costumes I looked at were too expensive or too silly. This just came together with a trip to the mall and Target.
I’ll post some pics after work.
My son’s gonna be Yoda ! 
Don’t you mean “Yoda, my son will be!”?
I know a guy who made two gigantic Katamari heads (one for him, one for his SO). He brought them to work and I was the only one who recognized it. (Never played any of the Katamari games except for a demo.)
I’m Ugly Betty (I even made fake braces!). Sadly, no one else in my office is dressed up, so I feel a little dorky. Hey, just like Betty!
I wanted to be Wonder Woman, but couldn’t find a costume that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg in shipping (and no patterns to make it myself, waaaah) so I am going to be Lil’ Miss Riding Hood. With bloomers, because that costume is pretty slutty otherwise.
I am Sandy from Grease. I wanted something cute, but that didn’t scream WHORE. So I have the long red skirt and cheerleader sweater.
One guy at work asked me what Grease was. I told him he was too young to speak and to just shut up and go to hell.
I went to a party this weekend as a nun. It was a storebought costume, nothing spectacular. But I do make a good nun.
I wanted to be Amy Winehouse but I’m going to a neighborhood block party and I don’t think anyone’s gonna get it. I’ll probably just wear the costume anyway and say I’m Elvira or a vampire…
I re-created Charlie Brown’s ghost costume from the Great Pumpkin special. White sheet with eyeholes and big black spots drawn in magic marker, a “Tricks or Treats” bag and a rock.
My Fiancee and I are Princess Peach and Mario.
I applaud your restraint in not kicking him in the nuts!
Too cute!
Me this year. Long sleeved black shirt. Black pants.
I just went as the darkness
GAH!
Major Tom has boobies???
!!
How do those contact lenses feel? Can you wear them all night without wanting to scratch your eyeballs out?
