I have to wear a lab coat at work tonight, so I just got some bunny ears to wear, and a puffy tail I’ll pin on the back of the lab coat. I’m positive I’ll be the only one to dress up at all, but I don’t care. I’m bringing in a bucket of candy for everyone, just because.
I’ll post pics of Antigen the lab-bunny later, if I think of it.
Here at work I’m dressed as Seymour Krelborn from Little Shop of Horrors. I transformed my cube into “Mushnik’s Flower Shop” with lots of plants and pictures of flowers, and I’ve got a little Audrey II. I’ve got bloodied up tape and gauze on my fingers, and I’m dressed pretty much exactly like the linked pic.
It’s actually my husband’s costume. He’ll wear it tonight, and I’ll dress as Audrey from the movie/musical. My costume isn’t really work appropriate, and it’s really just a slutty blonde without my husband’s costume anyway.
Lots of people here are dressed up. We’re having a pot luck party in one of the conference rooms at lunch time.
We went to a party last weekend as Tippi Hedren from The Birds (me) and a Red Wings blackbird (husband). Pix from before we got to the party (we forgot to actually take the camera in with us).
A Starfleet uniform. Classic style, which means I am about half an inch of skirt away from getting arrested. The engineering department is having a costume contest today – I think I’ll enter.
Not a costume, really, but I have a black Halloween necktie – mummies marching at you with a big orange moon behind them. I’m wearing it with a black dress shirt, black slacks and shoes.
I dressed as Spike (from Buffy and Angel) at my Halloween party on Saturday night. I mentioned doing it last year, but I just wore the clothes and didn’t go to any extra trouble. This year I grew my hair out for the last two months just so I could bleach it blond, and it actually looks pretty cool this way. Used some gel to spike it up, too. Painted my nails black, and wore a black T-shirt tucked into black jeans, my dark red dress shirt unbuttoned over that, and my newish black leather jacket over that. Unfortunately I was starting to lose my voice due to bronchitis, so no talking in a working-class English accent for me! But it was a pretty good Spike costume, I must say.
I’m wearing a blue-lavender sort-of bliaut I made years ago, and my husband’s dark blue wool cloak. Mine has had cats sitting on it for months, and it’s turned sort of gray. The bliaut’s pretty much my only bit of stored up cotume that fits, and I’m still not sure what I’m going to do with the belt, over my seven and a half months pregnant bulge. Also it’s something I can work in without overheating.
I should find something to make a veil with, and I’ll probably do my hair in Norman braids.
A little uncomfortable. Kind of like having an eyelash under your lid that you can’t get rid of. The lenses are actually round rather than oval shaped like most people assume.
Six hours at work is about all I can take before it get’s really annoying.
A couple or rum&cokes makes it much more tolerable…
Skanky pirate, because I had no time for creativity this year. That said, my ass and tits hanging out probably more than make up for my lack of originality.
Oh, I also have skanky Little Miss Muffet, but I think the pirate one is slightly less slutty.
A white shirt with the word MILK on it, cigs rolled up in the sleeve.
Fake tattoo sleeves, fake piercings above my eye and on my ears.
a good sneer and a fake cigarette
“Milk gone bad” of course!
my wife is going in a French maid outfit (very hot by the way) with fake money pinned all over her
A stovepipe hat and tailcoat made from terrycloth in a motley of dark blue, maroon, brown and green. The buttons on the coat are shaped like hands and balloons.
A black cummerbund.
A black and white striped shirt.
Black and white striped leggings made from the sleeves of another shirt.
Black and white striped loincloth made from the hood of another shirt.
One white dress glove and one black one
A black cane with brass dots and diamonds (a table lag I salvaged from the garbage)
