Official pics tomorrow, and YES I'm wearing it for work.

Hopefully, others have that permision and will post pictures too!

That reminds me when i was a receptionist at one of my many office jobs. I dressed in my wench's costume. The building I was in (there were other offices in the building - it just wasn't my company), had a costume contest, which was cool and a Halloween party. That was awesome.

However, I did go out to lunch (by myself) wearing my costume. The guy who was my waiter was very attentive to me and I got smiles, waves and "happy halloween's" from the customers around me - that was fun. I should do that again sometime.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Oh, I copped out and am sitting here dressed much like my avatar. In fact, I am dressed EXACTLY like my avatar, and my skirt keeps getting stuck in the wheels on my chair.

It's boring for me, but my co-workers think it's cool.

I was gonna do Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, but I have to co sign on an equity loan at lunchtime, and I have to show ID, so I doubt they'd like whiteface with stitches and a long red wig.

I'll save that for the kiddies when they come by later for trick or treating. And for the party I'm going to next Saturday.

We're doing the tried and true 80's theme. Always fun, and since we are all children of the 80's, it's like being 13 again! Besides, ANY excuse for too much blue eye shadow and leg warmers is a plus!!

[AnaKhouri]

Since I can't do anything cool like be a blood-spewing zombie (something about scaring kids...geez), I opted for elf princess. I will post pictures tonight if anyone is interested.

[FuzzyKitten99]

since my home is my office, so to speak, right now I am a flannel pants & sweatshirt girl... but when the daycare kids go home, I will be changing into this costume:
except I have regular 4" red pumps and painted glitter on them, instead of buying a pair of hooker-heels.

I just wore my regular SCA garb. My coworkers are very impressed, apparently.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Yeah, me too.

It feels not much different to me than a pair of jeans, but people who see me are blown away. I guess we kind of forget how cool garb is. I mean, after all, it's not really a "costume." It's real clothes!

[Jester]

I don't work today, but since it WAS Fantasy Fest down here last week, I got to do many costumes. Some of the highlights:

Court Jester (I do this one every year--and yes, I was wearing tights).
Perverted Zorro
Pirate (we had a pirate party at The Bar).
Blues Brother.
Roman Senator (i.e., toga).
Red die (red t-shirt with dice on it, red dice beads, red die hat).
Dr. Hannibal Lecter (won second place at the Celebrity Lookalike Contest, ironically at my old job, the Luxury Landmark Hotel, and am making an appearance as Dr. Lecter tonight at the local haunted fort).

Of these, I did all but Hannibal and the toga at work. Will post pictures once I get them from everyone who took them.

Face shot!

[myswtghst]

Very nice, Shironu. :)

I just posted this in another thread, but my Vargas girl costume I wore to parties over the weekend was much too scandalous for work, so I'm currently in an old set of scrubs (from my days as a veterinary nurse) and I have a stuffed otter named Oscar with me, to explain that I'm a zoo vet. Not terribly original, but easy, and comfy, since I'm stuck here til midnight!

[Shironu-Akaineko]

Comfy is always a good criteria.
Also, Scrubs are still better than the baby costume here.
One of the cashiers simply donned a pair of her own pajamas on, Krusty slippers, pigtails and freckles.
No giant bib no diaper, nothing.

Gah, a giant novelty binky but that's it.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I wish I had a mask like that. I really do. Especially since today one of my friends at work was telling me about how she was going to see Saw 4 tonight.

"I wanna play a game..." heh heh, indeed.....

[NightWolf]

A few years back I was working Security at a local hotel. I figured It'd be fun to dress up for Halloween, so I went with a decent costume that would still allow me to do my job.

Cowboy Hat
Cowboy Boots with Spurs
Black pants - (uniform)
Black shirt - (uniform)
Black vest with a star sheriff's badge
Gun slinger belt with a six shooter cap gun.

I thought it fit rather well considering the profession I was in. ;)


Sadly this year there would be no point in dressing up. Working 3rd shift, nobody else would see me really. (and we're extremely "dead" tonight)

[Andara Bledin]

Ah, yes, the good old standby of wearing your garb as your halloween costume. I've done that before, although only once, because I like to do a different costume every single year. Although since we have a ton of new people at work, I should do my peasant costume again, as they've never seen it.

This year, I was something out of Gravekeeper's nightmares in an outfit entirely of pink camo. (no, I didn't order it from him, or the company he answers for) What was I?

A colorblind survivalist.

I thought of this last night when trying to figure out what I would be with an outfit of pink camo, and then I remembered my uncle, who is colorblind and had a pair of tan pants he categorically refused to wear because he insisted that they were actually pink and everybody was lying to him so that he'd wear them, and then they'd all laugh at him. He was wrong, they were merely tan, but in his defense, he had precedence for his suspicion.

^-.-^

[Jester]

There was one costume I forgot in my above list: convict. It was just a stripped down version of the Hannibal Lecter costume....I ditched the handtruck, the straitjacket, and the Hannibal mask, and just went around with my orange scrub pants, my orange Los Angeles County Jail shirt, and handcuffs on my hands. And yes, they were real handcuffs. It's all in the details. :-)

...my Vargas girl costume I wore to parties over the weekend was much too scandalous for work...

My Perverted Zorro costume was the only one I wore that was too scandalous for work. And trust me, it was WAY too scandalous for work.

Other than that, some of my costumes just wouldn't work at work....Hannibal Lecter would not have worked. The handtruck was a bit bulky, after all, and I doubt my coworkers would want to wheel me from table to table or from bar patron to bar patron. Even without the handtruck, ever try serving while in a straightjacket?

Also, while I did bartend in my pirate costume, it was the incomplete pirate costume: black pants, black ruffly shirt, and a black tri-hat with a feather. I had to leave off the billowing black cape, the black battle horn/drinking horn, and the (real) sword in a black scabbard. I DID wear all that after work when I went out though, and did not get in trouble for it, even though the police said they would even be confiscating TOY weapons on the street for Fantasy Fest.

I'm a zoo vet. Not terribly original...

I disagree. I think that IS original. Seen lots of doctors and nurses, can't remember ever seeing a zoo vet.

I wish I had a mask like that.

I actually bought a Guy Fawkes mask (V for Vendetta) but never actually used it, even though I could have by dressing all in black, wearing my black cape, and donning my black Zorro hat with the mask. *sigh* Another time, perhaps.

A colorblind survivalist.

That goes up there with some of the best "bad" costumes I have ever seen. (And I am saying this is a compliment, please don't take it otherwise.)

Prize 1 goes to the guy I saw years and years ago at a Halloween party in Phoenix in a sheet with eyeholes and all these symbols all over it. I asked, "What are those symbols?" He replied, "Probability equations." So I shot back, "What the hell are you?"

"A ghost of a chance."

I LOVED it!

Prize 2 goes to a guy I saw at Fantasy Fest many years ago, dressed all in nice black clothes, looking very GQ with his hair slicked back, and all these naked Barbie dolls attached to him. His costume?

"A chick magnet."

Classic!

[Andara Bledin]

Yup. I didn't have the time or funds to get together something good, so I went for cheesy instead.

It's just a shame that it isn't a costume somebody could guess on their own. It requires explanation.

But I do, some day, want to run around in it soliciting help from random strangers telling them I'm colorblind and I got a great deal on this "desert camo" I picked up, but that now I'm thinking maybe the guy who sold it to me wasn't such a great guy, and so I want them to tell me honestly how well they think I'd blend into a desert environment. I'd have to have somebody with a camera to get all the reactions.

"I wanna play a game..." heh heh, indeed.....

First of all, thanx.
Secondly, IT'S NOT A MASK!

It's an hour-long makeup job! :lol:

[XCashier]

I just wore my regular SCA garb. My coworkers are very impressed, apparently.
I don't have coworkers, but I did wear garb to my church's Harvest Festival and people were also very impressed. When I took my son to the mall for trick-or-treating later, I was stopped by some folks who took my picture and asked me where I bought it. When I told them I'd made it, they were astounded! :D

[Jester]

The very first year I did the Court Jester (which is now a tradition for me), many people asked me where I bought the costume. My reply? "Seven different stores." Because, while I didn't actually make anything (my talents, while numerous, don't extend to that particular endeavor), I DID put the costume together myself from various parts. Also true of many other costumes, including my Hannibal Lecter costume from this year and the Perverted Zorro costume from the last three years running.

The one costume I DID make was the Osama bin Laden with a U.S. Cruise Missile Going Through Him costume, which I did for Fantasy Fest 2001, six weeks after 9/11. THAT got a lot of response, I can tell you! And 99.99% of it positive!

[NightAngel]

Originally, I was going to go as Lara Croft for Halloween but that didn't work out.

So, I made my hair purple, wore a multitude of gold and purple Mardi Gras beads as a belt, put on way more eyeliner than usual and some gothy dark purple/almost black lipstick and all black clothes.

I had NO idea what I was but it was fun.

When I walked into work one of my SL's (he's in a band) looks at me and says:
"You're Punk Rock Girl (http://www.deadmilkmen.com/lyrics/punk_rock_girl.html)!"

And, so I was Punk Rock Girl. :lol:

[Gawdzillers]

I wanted to be Al Gore (the South Park Gore, not that boring IRL one), but the school wouldn't let us wear costumes.
I was going to be either that, or Jason Voorhees.

Or Epic Fail Guy.

That last one is easy.
1. Buy Guy Fawkes Mask.
2. Put it on, with no other fancy add-ons (please wear clothes, though)
3. Fail. HARD.

[Jester]

1. Buy Guy Fawkes Mask.

Don't know about the failing part, but I have already done step one. Of course, the difference is I really do have the rest of it (black clothing, black cape, black hat) except for the wig. I don't whether to be proud or embarrassed by this, actually. :lol:

[BlaqueKatt]

me as Harley-and a coworker that came in about the end of my shift as Batman

[unholypet]

Would that I had a working camera/scanner, I'd show off my German/St.Paul's/Ricola gir outfit. I handed out candy at work in it lol

Pig-tails braids
White puffy shirt thingie
Black tying vest
Green fluffy frilled skirt
Knee-high black socks
Brown wood-looking shoes

[Ree]

I have zero imagination, and felt like crap this week, so I didn't wear a costume.

I just told everyone that I was dressed as a sleep deprived grandmother having a bad hair day. :p

[SengaKitty]

I'll have to put my costume back on and get pictures (or get copies of the pictures someone took of our booth for work :-D) I was, of course, a witch :) I helped hand out candy at the company booth on the square. Black and silver "countess" costume minus the paper inside that makes the skirt poof out, black tights, boots, a black cloak and a black and silver conical hat. :-D It was fun

[Kara]

Katt-

Harley Quinn = RAWK!

That was fantastic. You look great.
