I can't bring myself to do it ugly. I want to be pretty and feminine. I think I'll give all the men I meet the evil eye that day. Posts: 2064 | Registered: Dec 2003

I'll be... working? If I do find I have friends to go out with by then, I'm vaguely thinking of being Marty McFly. Though it's not really going with the trend I've had, last few years I've been Halloween (the holiday), Michael Jackson (in his heyday), and a ninja pirate...all realistic but slightly dark. So maybe I'll think of something else. Maybe Hatshepsut. *ponder*

I'm going to be hurt. I still have my walking cast from when I broke my leg, and a Batman Cape from an amusement park. I'm taping a sign that says: Warning, cape does not enable wearer to fly. I'm still thinking about using my crutches.

I'll be the poor college student staying at home. I think I'll have some candy for any kids who come by (although they rarely do).

I'll be Multitasking Mom - able to drive kids to sister's house so niece can take them trick-or-treating, visit hubby in the hospital after his knee-replacement surgery and still have time to go to work that evening. I don't have a cape, though ... Posts: 2034 | Registered: Apr 2004

1. Be one of the people in the new iPod commercials - dressed all in black, black-hairsprayed/dyed hair, face painted black - and get a cheap iPod coloured cover and put glow sticks in it, so I can swing it about all night.
2. "Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Showers" - Dress in blue, attach cotton balls in various cloud formations, and carry a squirt gun with which to shoot people randomly.
Any other creative ideas? I'm trying to top a bag of jelly beans (from last year).

Just be careful you don't shoot anyone in a way that will ruin their costume. (Make up runs, paper accessories, etc.) I'd be seriously annoyed if I put a lot of work into a costume and someone shot me with a squirtgun first thing at the party and I looked like crap for the rest of the evening.

I'm going to be the stressed out, overworked computer programmer on the brink of physical and mental collapse.
Saves me a ton of money on clothing, it's not a stretch, but I wish people would stop asking "so what are you supposed to be?"

Oh, heavens, I wouldn't do that! I know how much time and effort costumes take. I'd aim for something more embarassing than messed-up makeup with my squirting, however... Posts: 3932 | Registered: Sep 1999

We are building a Bender costume. My best man, Jonesy, will be playing that part. I will be Fry, and Lindsay will be Leela.

I haven't even thought about it. I went all out last year, and I'm not sure what can top it. I also need to either friends and a party to go to so Matt can study for his comps that start the next week, or I need to steel myself to watch something scary.

I've been thinking about being Dim from A Clockwork Orange, but I can't find a good picture of just him and everyone would just think I did a bad job of dressing up as Alex. I'd also kinda like to do a couples costume w/ my lady friend, but most of the ideas we've come up with have been pretty lame. Hmm, maybe a she can be a corpse and I'll be a naughty mortician. I dunno, that just popped into my head, she probably wouldn't go for it.
I wonder how hard it would be to be Ralph from Space Balls? Anyone got any good ideas on how to work that out? Any character from that movie would be pretty cool.

I ordered my boyfriend's shirt. Intramural zombie hunting team.
I'm crossing my fingers that it gets here by next Saturday, which is the big costume party down at Frenchman.
Edit: This is the shirt. He said I could put a black rinse in his hair. The only thing I'm concerned about is that the last time I used a rinse, it would drip all over the place at the smallest bit of moisture. Ideas?

Use the spray instead? Or spray with hairspray all over to help fix it? I think that's what my sisters used to do.

NicholasStewart - you could make one? Just get a basic cap and write, paint, sew, whatever onto it?

sidenote: divaesefani - A-dore-a-ble!!!!! I like the one of his face with the adult profile on the right. It's like he's seeing through the lens.

Nothing! :'( For the first time IN MY LIFE, I will not have a crazy, elaborate Halloween costume. That includes my wedding day, which was Halloween, and yes, I wore a totally sweet costume to the reception.
The reason why we're going costumeless is because we'll be spending Halloween at Knott's Scary Farm, and they don't allow guests to have costumes there, for fear of tripping and getting caught on roller coasters and all that good stuff. Alas. But we do get to shoot zombies with laser guns, so it's all good.
Anyway, a friend of mine who has extremely long hair did a pretty Medusa one year. It was amazing. She put tons of braids in her hair, then pushed wires into them, and bent the braids so they looked like writhing snakes. Then she put on one of her bellydancing costumes. It was TOO cool. You should totally go for a beautiful Medusa.

I will be a happily drunk soccer mom for Halloween. It is our eighth annual Drink-or-Treat Celebration. The kids trick-or-treat, and we carry along drinks in plastic coffee mugs.

I'm going to be a Quality Assurance Coordinator.
I know, it's not very cool, but I have to work. Since I'm working nights, I won't be home to give out candy either. And I don't leave it in a bowl by the door. Everyone knows the whole bowl just goes in the first kid's bag.

Not unless a sign gives a specific amount.
Maybe that's true for the kids whose parents go with them Jeesh, but get a few who are old enough to go on their own and it doesn't really matter if you leave a sign or not.

I'd like to be Eris with her golden apple, but I'll probably get sad when no one guesses who I am.
