Halloween Costumes.

[Jester]

I will not be dressing up for Halloween this year.

Before anyone gets on me, allow me to explain: We have an event in Key West called Fantasy Fest, which is held near the end of October every year. Sort of our Mardi Gras, only smaller, safer, and cleaner than the event in New Orleans. And I am one of those people that dresses up for Fantasy Fest, to the max. I think my personal record for costumes in a FF is 10 costumes in 8 days. And I have no plan of slowing that down this year. So you can forgive me if I don't actually bother with a costume on Halloween itself. (Following FF, Halloween in KW kind of loses a little something, if you're with me.)

So, in my life, I have dressed up for Halloween or Fantasy Fest every year except one, when I was 13 and sick. I am 38, and have no plans of ever not dressing up for Halloween (other than while I live here and do the Fantasy Fest thing, of course.)

My worst costume ever? My second grade costume that my mom and older sister put together for me. I was a chocolate chip cookie. Yes, the other kids made fun of me. Yes, they were right to. It was a lame costume.

My best costume? Fantasy Fest 2001, six weeks after 9/11, I dressed up as Osama bin Laden......with a U.S. cruise missile going right through my chest.

This year I will be reprising my second best costume ever, last year's awesome Hannibal Lecter. My friend Photo Dude has already agreed to wheel me around on the hand truck again, so I don't have to give up that part of the costume. Last year I took second place in the Celebrity Look A Like contest, and I plan on winning it this year. Unless, of course, there is another topless Carmen Miranda. Hard to beat a topless woman with fruit on her head. In other words, kids, scary loses to ta-ta's every time.

I also will be doing my annual turn as a Court Jester (do it every year on Fantasy Fest Saturday, the biggest day of the event), and will be dressing up as a pirate (I have no choice, as The Bar is doing a pirate even on Fantasy Friday). Beyond that, I have no idea what I am going to dress up as. I might try to put something together so I can go as a Beer Church Minister. Hmmm, that is a good idea. I have the Got Beer? hat, I have the official membership in the Beer Church.....some kind of minister's outfit....I'll check into that.

Some of my other memorable costumes were: Mr. Smiley, a Blues Brother ("Elwood. Jake's dead, ma'am."), a turd, a Roman Senator, an old man, the Sun God, a wizard (it helps that I can actually DO magic!), my friend Frank (THAT was hilarious!), a dead man (easy to do--old clothes and stage blood!), the Toga Mac Daddy (aka MC Roman), and the Perverted Zorro.

So, what costume ideas are YOU going to break out this year?

[Saydrah]

I might not be able to pull this off well on such short notice (just decided to do it) but I think I'm going to go as Carmen Sandiego.

[DevilBoy]

My favorite costume was "Scheckie MacCloud: Jewish Highlander - "I should be so lucky if I could die"".

Basically, I wore a period kilt and sash, grew ear locks and wore my yamulke.
Twisted humor that was more of an inside joke with friends... one of those "you had to be there" kind of things.

Unfortunately, many people are not very original... and this is why so many Halloween costumes will suck INCREDIBLY this year (http://i35.tinypic.com/2lwoqw8.jpg)

[MystyGlyttyr]

Let's see, in the past I've been Mickey Mouse, a Ninja Turtle, Babs Bunny, a samurai (cuz I wanted the sword), Jimi Hendrix (my sister almost wouldn't let me in the car because I looked like a hippie, heh), the Hurricane (wrestler), and a catgirl.

I would love to sneak an office-acceptable version of the catgirl costume this year, but I'm not sure they'd approve even of ears and a tail in the newspaper office. Le sigh. Sticks in the mud.

Meanwhile, my nephew is going to be Anakin Skywalker, who he is in LOVE with, apparently; and the triplets are going to be Care Bears. No word yet on what the infant niece is going to be.

[Jester]

No word yet on what the infant niece is going to be.

Put cardboard smokestacks on her.

She can be a Shit and Puke Factory.

Just like every other infant. :lol:

[Kiwi]

this year K wants to go as a couple

i wanted to go as stomer from the misfits (jem and the holigrams) but now it looks as if were going as a greek god and goddess....

its the only costume I could find that didnt A. cost more than $100 and B didnt make me look like a slut

what is up with all of the female costumes, is it like free reign to dress like a sleazy hooker at halloween or something? even the togas were all middrift bearing

I REALLY wanted to go as scarlett ohara but the cheapest costume for her was like $200!!!

Ill be making that for next year

maybe I should just go in some sheer pantihose some over my head and some on my legs... i could be a human condom or something

[Greenday]

I want to get the Lt. Jim Dangle outfit and wear that. Last year I was a sex instructor and the year before I was a marine, with full fatigues. Only problem is, I can't find the outfit in a large. Only mediums and I'm just too big for a medium.

[marty]

I'm doing the couples thing.

I'm going to be a Dirty Pirate Hooker--and no, not "Look at me I'm dressed slutty!", I will look filthy and strung out in my pirate costume.

And what would a dirty pirate hooker be without a pimp?

[BookstoreEscapee]

Only mediums and I'm just too big for a medium.

Really? Huh.

;)

[Elspeth]

I want to do a patron saint of either panic or stuipdity. Not sure how to pull that off. This way I can banish demons with my stupid stick

:devil:

I can't bring any of my swords to work :(

[depechemodefan]

I remember being in Honolulu for Halloween 2002, and a guy was dressed up in a clear plastic sack and inside the sack was shredded documents; he was Arthur Anderdson or Enron. Oh, and Honolulu was crawling with Japanese cuties, wearing skimpy costumes. That was awesome.

I knew this guy who would dress up like Gene Simmons except he had a prostisis genitalia attached.

I never have big ideas. Though one year I bought some egyptian female headgear and my mom made me a robe with a gold sash. That was nice.

[AdminAssistant]

what is up with all of the female costumes, is it like free reign to dress like a sleazy hooker at halloween or something? even the togas were all middrift bearing

Ugh, I KNOW. Even the 'plus-sized' costumes are all about BOOBS. Um, sorry, I teach on Friday, and I can't wear that to class.

If I were a bit sleeker, I would bust out some glitter and sequins and go as Jem - in a heartbeat. I even remember the song - truly, truly, TRULY outrageous. :lol:

My personal favorite costume is the year I did Dead Juliet...but I can't find the picture, hm let me dig....

[pssorens]

opening night of my gaming convention is halloween night. so I'm either going as a cawdor ganger from the game necromunda, or Dr. Venkman from Chostbusters

[AnaKhouri]

I am a huge costume fan (attention whore?) and have played with anime cosplay and RenFaire costuming. I also LOVE Halloween and always dress up even if I have to work.

Last year I was an elf princess. This year I am going to be a Greek goddess. I have also been Trinity from The Matrix (pleather pants SUCK btw), Little Red Riding Hood and the awesomest, scariest zombie that ever was. I made a little girl cry with that one. My finest moment, if you ask me. :devil:

[Greenday]

what is up with all of the female costumes, is it like free reign to dress like a sleazy hooker at halloween or something? even the togas were all middrift bearing

Wait, what's wrong with people dressing up like hookers?

[XCashier]

I'm not sure what I'll be. I guess I can always wear my SCA garb, plus my cloak. It's nice enough.

Can't wear my hippie costume; around here, it's not a costume (http://media.www.elvaq.com/media/storage/paper925/news/2006/04/20/CollegiateNewsfeatures/Hippie.Cultures.Still.Alive.Man-2535057.shtml)! :lol:

Hehe I was expecting an article about the Highlands in Louisville :roll:

But back on topic... Seeing as I plan to be at SugoiCon, I'll probably be doing some kind of cat girl/school girl thing......

[Evil Queen]

I don't know what I'm going to do for Halloween. Probably work. -_-'

[lupo pazzesco]

I don't really dress up on Halloween. My birthday is two days after and I'm usually horribly depressed. Not to mention the last 7 Halloweens/birthdays have ended up either with me in the hospital, me needing to be in a hospital, working a double, being injured and on crutches, or...well, I think y'all get the point...

Although, I DO still have my punk/rock/goth kimono a friend made for me...hrmmmm...

[Reyneth]

This year, I am dressing in black, doing the pale face w/dark lipstick, eyes and nailpolish. Then adding wings and a wand.

I'm going as the Fairy Goth Mother. :lol:

[Kiwi]

Wait, what's wrong with people dressing up like hookers?

hey if you want to look like a hooker no problem

but I DONT want to look like a whore and there are very very few costumes for females that arnt all about boobs or arse or both

some of us females like to leave a little mystery around our goodies while not looking like Im a pilgrim or a sack of potatos

or in my case a very sexy sack of potatos :D

[sportsmom]

I'm not dressing up, but my oldest is going to be Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold. What can I say, she found a pinstriped fedora when we were out getting her little sister's costumes and ran with it. For those not familiar with this person, here's a pic...

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd255/x_happy_endings_x/Synyster%20Gates/SynysterGates60.jpg

Her two best friends are spending the night and she's trying to talk them into dressing up as Zacky Vengeance and the Rev to finish out the whole thing. Two more and we could have the whole band!

[RecoveringKinkoid]

No, no it isn't.

I wasnt' there, I've never met your friends, and I STILL broke Rule #1. :roll:

[Greenday]

The sexiest sack of potatoes even!

I do get what you mean though. I was looking for costumes this weekend and every single one was really really whorish. What if a girl wants to be a cop instead of a "sexy" cop? What's wrong with that?

[Becks]

I'll probably trot out my poodle skirt again. :D

Or maybe I can borrow Bella's. I haven't even seen the one Grandma made for her, and that was...two? three? years ago.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I picked up a "Sally" costume (Nightmare Before Christmas) at the Disney store last year. You can get costumes for half price right before Halloween.

I'll probably be Sally for a couple years. :o Even on sale it was 35 bucks, so I need to get my money's worth. But hey, it's a cute costume and it's not like I'll outgrow it. And it's not whorish, either, which is a huge plus.

I was going to get the husband a Jack Skellington costume so we'd match, but he was a fuddy duddy and said he wasn't going to dress up. If they still have a Jack when I go back this year, I'm going to buy it and make him wear it.

[marty]

My dirty pirate hooker costume isn't going to show too much of my goodies. That's why homemade costumes rock.

[Binky]

don't really celebrate Halloween in Aus, however I'm going to a around the world costume party on the weekend, sort semi-Halloween party 21st on the 31st of Oct, so this will be the very first year I'm actually going to be celebrating it. If only technically in spirit (scuse the pun)

Anyways I'm going as a German Beer wench :D

http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/risquebusinessrb/?action=view&current=IMGP0207.jpg

:D :D

I hope it looks ok on me.

[Kiwi]

The sexiest sack of potatoes even!

you know it :rolleyes:

[Shards]

I dunno what I'm going as this year.

Every year I either start working early and come up with crap, or throw something decent together at the last possible second. Three years ago, I didn't decide to dress up until my best friend knocked on my door asking if I was coming or not. I literally grabbed a knife, a bandanna, a sombrero that for some reason I remembered where to find after my parents having found it at some culture fair when I was 5, and my fencing saber, and put together a half decent Zorro outfit.

Two years ago, I played dirty. I went to a Halloween party wearing a bow tie and a note pinned to my chest that read 'To Women, From God.'

I'll give a cookie to anyone who can remember who I stole that idea from.

[Jester]

what is up with all of the female costumes, is it like free reign to dress like a sleazy hooker at halloween or something? even the togas were all middrift bearing

Midrift bearing is sleazy and hookerlike? Really?

I have also been Trinity from The Matrix

Last year when I got second place in the Celebrity Look-a-Like contest, third place was Neo and Trinity. They looked good, and frankly, I thought they were the only ones I could lose to. Was very impressed that my Hannibal Lecter beat them, actually.

I'm going as the Fairy Goth Mother. :lol:

Classic! A few years ago, a good friend of mine got dressed up with antennae and wings and attached vegetables all over her outfit. She went as a Garden Variety Fairy! :lol:

What if a girl wants to be a cop instead of a "sexy" cop? What's wrong with that?

Then buy a man's cop outfit.

Anyways I'm going as a German Beer wench

Remember, the key to the costume is the details. So have a mug of beer (fake or real) or some such. Without beer, that costume, while very alluring, doesn't really say what it is.

You should come down to Key West and go around with me when I do my Minister of Beer costume! (Which is coming along nicely, I must say!) :cheers:

[iradney]

I've only really dressed up once, since Halloween is not really a big holiday in South Africa.
I went as a vampire bunny :) (My then BF went as The Crow - major brownie points from me coz I LOVE that movie).

I did want to dress up as a telly tubby that had been murdered, but all the telly tubby outfits were in kiddy sizes, and I'm not that small!

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Friend of mine showed up at a Halloween party we had for the kids at our (Episcopal) church one year wearing khakis and a polo shirt. We berated him for not wearing a costume, and he said " But I AM wearing a costume. I'm supposed to be a Methodist." :lol:

[crazylegs]

I'll be working on Halloween.

Until Midnight.

So there's my 'costume', my work uniform! :lol:

[XCashier]

I was going to get the husband a Jack Skellington costume so we'd match, but he was a fuddy duddy and said he wasn't going to dress up.
Argh! Don't you hate that when the SO doesn't want to dress up as well?! Mine's been known to do the same thing. They can be such party poopers...

Here's hoping he'll be more accomodating this year! :)

[RetailWorkhorse]

I was going to dress up like a dog again, but I can't afford the fur I need and don't have tiome to get it from the web anyhow (If Wally World suddenly had it, I'd buy it up and make it).

I'll probably just put on my dog collar and go as a Human Pet (something I "dress" up as on a nearly daily basis).

D said she wanted to dress up as a Hooker. I'd be the Pimp. :D

[draftermatt]

I'm going as Dr. House (even got a cane).

My wife is going as a sexy baseball player.

We're having our 1st halloween party this year (all our friends were missing the dressing up) though so far only 3 people have said for sure "I'm coming" le sigh.

[Kiwi]

Midrift bearing is sleazy and hookerlike? Really?

my point about the togas, is that they are usually a full legnth dress but it seems for girls there is very few options if you dont want to show off your body

and no midrift alone isnt sleazy but couple it with your boobs squeezing out of the top of your "dress" and the only ankle legnth toga having a split up to a girls woo woo you get the picture

as I have previously stated, if you want to look sexy on halloween, go for it. But I DONT want to have my flesh on display
I also dont want to look like a nun... well unless im dressing as a nun and even then all of the costumes are for SEXY NUNS

its frustrating!

[blas]

The guy I was seeing last spring and I had planned on dressing as Britney Spears and Adnon Whatthefuckshisface but we broke up and he moved to Florida.

I do not even have a spare penny for a costume....it will have to be something I already have or can borrow from someone.

Here's a real original one....80s Party Girl. I'm going out to the bar that night (Friday night, woo hoo!). I can borrow some of my mom's old tacky heels and I have hot rollers I can use to make my hair sky high, huge obnoxious earrings, gobs of bright pink lipstick and eyeshadow up to my eyebrows.

I'm not sure if I'm going to wear tight leggings with the heels or some tacky skirt with a shirt with no shoulders OR huge shoulder pads.

[AdminAssistant]

Here's a real original one....80s Party Girl.

I did that one year - hair in a high, teased, side ponytail, short black skirt, black/pink fishnets....and an old Aerosmith shirt, I think. Can't really remember. That 'costume' was all about the hair, to be honest.

[RayvenQ]

I've only really dressed up once, since Halloween is not really a big holiday in South Africa.
I went as a vampire bunny :) (My then BF went as The Crow - major brownie points from me coz I LOVE that movie).

I did want to dress up as a telly tubby that had been murdered, but all the telly tubby outfits were in kiddy sizes, and I'm not that small!

I'll refrain from pointing out the mistakes in the Crow Makeup :P

[ArcticChicken]

We're making Mandelorian Neo-crusader armor. If I can get my cousin off his ass to help.

[BookstoreEscapee]

"Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."
-Mean Girls

Wait, what's wrong with people dressing up like hookers?

hey if you want to look like a hooker no problem

I think Greenday should dress up like a hooker. :D


There's not much point in dressing up for work. I don't work with customers and I doubt anyone in my area will dress up. I usually wear all black on Halloween, though. I don't plan on being home for trick-or-treaters, either. I live in a second-floor apartment with a really obnoxious buzzer for a doorbell. I don't know how much traffic they get, though. I might ask my neighbor downstairs. I'll probably go over to my parents' and help play cat-wrangler when the doorbell rings (if they don't get tossed in the basement for the evening).

When I worked in the store my costumes were usually an excuse to wear jeans and sneakers to work. The last year I dressed up I wore jeans, a black t-shirt and a made a nametag on my computer that said "Hello, My name is Forever." I was "Forever in Blue Jeans" (Had to explain that one to all the young-uns'). In small, light gray print along the top and bottom of the name tag I put a few lines from the song. Though for a while I wore Ex's cowboy hat (this was a few years ago when we still worked together and had been together a few months).

One year in the store I wore my graduation cap and gown, and when I was on the floor I carried a road atlas around with me. I was a Roads Scholar.




Other cool costumes from coworkers:

Civil War soldier - that guy is a big history buff and does reenactments; he owns the uniform and wore it every year;
Civil War-era dress and bonnet - she was another Civil War buff, even though she's British. Her hoop skirt took up the whole aisle, and her bonnet was so big that she had to turn her whole body whenever anyone approached her because she could only see straight ahead.
A lion with an impressive mane (that was a woman);
Bunnicula (kids' book about a vampire bunny),
Pat the Bunny - the last two were the same person in different years; her name was Pat and her nickname was Pat the Bunny; really it was the same costume with different makeup

[Eric the Grey]

(My then BF went as The Crow - major brownie points from me coz I LOVE that movie).

I did The Crow a few years running, starting with 2 years before the movie came out. I was a fan of the comic book. The people who knew me, and didn't read the book looked at me the third year running and went :eek: I even had a few empty .38 caliber shells tied in my (phony) hair.

I'll be working on Halloween.

Until Midnight.

So there's my 'costume', my work uniform! :lol:

Yup, that'll be me as well. If I were going to dress out, I would wear my costume from last month. My Gf threw me a themed birthday party. The theme was movies or movie stars. I dressed as Jake Blues from The Blues Brothers. The costume worked pretty well, except I had a hard time seeing after the sun went down. :lol:


:cool: Eric the Grey

[Sylvia727]

I still have my costume from Talk Like a Pirate Day. White ruffled blouse, black trousers, brown suede vest, wide black belt with huge silver buckle, black combat boots, red bandana, eye patch, and all the gaudy jewelry I could loot from my relatives. I may be able to add a borrowed stuffed monkey to the list.

My little sibs live in another state, so this will be my very first not trick-or-treating. There aren't any trick-or-treaters in my neighborhood, so I'll probably invite some friends over for candy and scary movies. Which sucks, because I love trick-or-treating. My sister has already announced her plan to solve this problem by getting pregnant, thus providing herself with a three-month-old for next year. For some reason, this well-thought-out solution to a heinous problem isn't going down well with her friends and family. :lol:

[Gawdzillers]

I'm going to be a party animal*. Inspired by Every Time I Die's video for "We'rewolf".

Read: Wolfman with a Hawaiian shirt.

[Giggle Goose]

I'm dressing up as Sara Palin since I do a really good impression of her (according to my limited audience). I'm just getting my bangs trimmed to be like hers and then doing a beehive. I'll wear some cheap pair of rimless reading glasses; I'm not too concerned with accuracy.

The twist is that instead of dressing in a skirt and jacket; I'm going to wear a "sexy eskimo" costume with a short skirt and knee-high boots. The short skirt kinda defeats the purpose of being an eskimo, but since it's slutty it doesn't have to make sense.

[Greenday]

I think Greenday should dress up like a hooker. :D

AWESOME! Great idea! I'm doing it.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Oh, man! I did an 80's party girl the year before last! I tried to basically be a walking MTV vid for as many songs as I could think of. My friends had fun trying to name the artists.

I had an actual tour t-shirt from Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet tour, torn fashionably, a Cyndi Lauper skirt, Nu Shoos shoes, Adam Ant's stripe on my face, rubber bracelets like Madonna, generic Hair Metal hair, the works. Fun!:)

[Kiwi]

I think I managed it

Im going as a pirate, and found this dress

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b326/curlifries18/21794.jpg

see it covers my boobs and doesnt show what I ate for breakfast!

success!

I ordered a plain black hat but im going to zoozh it up myself with lace and feathers!

[BookstoreEscapee]

AWESOME! Great idea! I'm doing it.

I expect pictures. Or you to come trick or treat at my house.


I like that dress, kiwi. :)

[Aramika]

I'm going as Dr. House (even got a cane).


I have some Vicodin left over from my surgery a few months ago if you want to borrow it. :p

Please post pics, I :love: House and I want to see your costume (if you don't mind of course).

[Greenday]

I expect pictures. Or you to come trick or treat at my house.


I like that dress, kiwi. :)

If I can't find the Reno 911 costume I want, I'll definitely be a hooker. And no matter what, there will be pictures.

[Binky]

oh dear :lol::lol: I got my dress yesterday....it's kinda...short.

Like so short I might as well have it as a t-shirt, not a dress, so short my mutt is hanging out! :roll::roll:

Me thinks I'll be wearing tights and shorts with it :D

[draftermatt]

I'll plan on taking lots of pics, don't know how good it will turn out though. I haven't had time to get a sport coat, so I might not be able to do that. And I have to shave on Saturday since I'm in a wedding.

Might just be me with a cane and a bottle of pills.

[NotSoInnocent]

It's a family event here in the NSInnocent household.

The girl-heathens are going as pirates (Three separate pirate outfits, all three awesome) and the boy-heathen is going as a baby ninja (complete with a foam "sword" and plastic glow-in-the-dark stars... the kind you stick to the ceiling).

We will be Pirates vs. Ninjas... It'd be an even number but you so rarely -see- the other ninjas!

I'm going as Mother Nature. Oh yeah. *grins* It works for me.

[AccountingDrone]

what is up with all of the female costumes, is it like free reign to dress like a sleazy hooker at halloween or something? even the togas were all middrift bearing



um, you are aware that in classical imperial rome, females wearing togas were the whores?

And you dont need to buy a toga, they are relatively easy to make if you have a sewing machine. actually both mens and womens imperial roman clothing is pretty easy to make, and can be dirt cheap depending on the fabric used. i might still have links to a few websites on roman clothing.

[AdminAssistant]

Or, for something different, drape the fabric a bit differently and do a Greek chiton and hamartia. The Romans really did steal everything from the Greeks.

[Jester]

I did that one year - hair in a high, teased, side ponytail, short black skirt, black/pink fishnets....and an old Aerosmith shirt, I think. Can't really remember. That 'costume' was all about the hair, to be honest.

Am I the only one that misses the side ponytail? Seriously, that is such an awesome look on so many girls, and it became a casualty of the Eighties. Although I have been happy to see one or two women recently wearing it....who knows? Maybe it will make a comeback! :love:

um, you are aware that in classical imperial rome, females wearing togas were the whores?

Hence the greatness that is the toga party! :eyewaggle:

And you dont need to buy a toga, they are relatively easy to make if you have a sewing machine.

Or a bed sheet. I mean, seriously.....easiest costume in the world to make.

One year, I used a Dr. Seuss bed sheet. I added white gloves and a cat nose and whiskers, threw on a red and white striped top hat, and went as (what else?) The Cat in the Hat. :wave:

Hey, it WAS Toga Night! :lol:

[GingerBiscuit]

Last year we zombied it up. See attached piccies...

This year? I dunno. I don't really have the money, and I'm not *feeling* it this year.

I've noticed some 80's trends making comebacks - like long shirts with leggings, etc. I saw leg warmers at Maurices the other day. :lol: The side ponytail looks pretty ridiculous on me - but some people can pull it off. I really wish I had pictures of that party, but I can't find any.
