I don’t think I’d have much of a success rate with those kinds of bears 
A chef.
I have a chef’s jacket that I had to wear when I took a cooking class a few semesters ago, and a chef’s toque that I bought at Disney World.
Big freaking whoop.
I’ll be tying a few empty tin cans to my belt, I’ll have a stack of movie cases and will have balloons and streamers and other party stuff around myself.
I’m going as the Cannes film festival.
I’ll be the Buddy Christ.
Simple and current: Safari jacket and shorts…rubber sting ray sticking out the front.
Was planning being Devil in a Blue Dress, but I can’t find a blue dress anywhere, at least not one I can afford considering I’ll likely never wear it again.
I do have the devil horns, etc, so I’ll just be a devil if I can’t find anything else.
The husband is going as Jack Skellington. If he’d decided sooner I’d have gone as Sally, but I don’t have time to get a costume together.
Not me, but Mrs Duckster.
Last year she dressed entirely in a pink pantsuit, pink skin, pink hair, and an old tennis shoe attached to the top of her head. She won first prize at her office party because no one figured it out. This year she is planning to attach these to her clothes, with a tiny working light bulb on the top of her head.
I’m going as CSI Sara Sidle. I made a CSI vest like they wear on the show out of some old t-shirts. I will carry my Nikon d50 wtih me because they carry cameras similar.
I wanted a free costume that would be comfortable - the CSIs on the show get to wear their regular clothes, so I will wear a black button down, jeans and my Pumas under the vest.
The Hubster and I are going as El Duderino (since we’re not into that whole brevity thing) and Maude Lebowski from The Big Lebowski. We got most of his costume yesterday, and everything just screams “burned out slacker bum.” I’m still looking for the perfect robe to wear so I can tear it open and say “Jeffrey. Love me.” Good times.
Last year we went as cats, which in and of itself is lame, but we went as our cats, which makes it either cool or frightening, depending on your point of view. I made ears and a tail for each of us and painted them to look like our cats’ coats, and then we painted our faces to match the cats as well.
The year before that we went to a party that had “the '80s” as the theme. I went as a serving wench (they didn’t specify which '80s, so I figured that the 1780s were fair game) and The Hubster went as a Chia Pet (khaki clothes, orange face paint, green fuzzy wig), which no one got.
The year before that we were Mario and Luigi, which is a surprisingly easy costume to put together.
I will post pictures, but for that I have to track down someone to hold the camera, who’s around in daylight, at the same time. So far this has not happened.
I might ask a friend to take pics of me at the club, because I’m sure it’ll look cool under UV.
Now that’s hilarious. I love Halloween costumes that have to be explained. 
I’m going as Autumn. I’ve got a burgundy-ish dress covered in fake orangey-yellow leaves, and I plan on making my mask with real leaves I scavenge from my friend’s backyard tomorrow afternoon.
I’m going as a murder scene. So far I’ve decided to wear:
—Police tape tied and draped on various parts of my body
—Fake knives and blood
—Evidence (playing cards, glove, threatening letters, maybe a cigarette butt or three) taped to different parts of my body
—Post-It notes with letters on them to identify different parts of the scene
—Fingerprints made with blood and dirt
—Maybe fake semen, depends on if petroleum jelly looks enough like semen to work
I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since I was twelve. I hope people will “get” what I’m supposed to be. Hey, it beats being a generic pirate wench, you know?
I’ll be Jamie Hyneman.
I’m dressing up as Clark Kent.
Ah-HA! At last, one of our resident celebrities has revealed himself! We were just too slick for you, huh?
Im going as a kinky librarian to one of my college’s halloween parties. I have a job at the local law library, so I should be outfitted fine with the usual demure A-line skirt and button down shirt, high heels, crop, red lipstick and a book on Eminent Domain!
Flesh-eating Zombie, thankyouverymuch.
I bought one of these , and a pair of these, . I have a katana, a wakazashi, a netsuke, a bamboo cup and chopstick and one of these.
I’m calling myself the Penultimate Samurai.
No way, Stalker Friend Draelin! I was Autumn two years ago! I used the glycerin-soaked real-but-preserved leaves from the craft store and a black butterfly face mask with real leaves attached with thin wires so they looked like they were swirling around my head. I wish I had a picture of it, it was really neat.
So…tell me what you were last year so I’ll know what I’m going to be next year!
I’ll be working on Halloween as well as tomorrow night, so I’m hard pressed to find a party that I’ll be attending. But I’ll be dressed as a security / bouncer. I’ve got black BDUs and steel toed boots. I ordered a black “SECURITY” t-shirt and hit up the army/navy surplus store to get a utility belt and handcuffs. Though I’ll also be sporting a party cowboy hat and eye liner - woot!
