I have a costume party later tonight and I need to pick a costume asap...many options but I can't seem to decide on one. I'm probably going to go with something as cheap and easy as possible. I would love to do Samuel Jackson from the Chappelle Show( MMMM MMM BITCH!) http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/755750/ Not sure if I'm going to be able to find a colonial looking outfit around here but here goes nothing.
I just figured out my costume earlier today. I need another partner to properly pull it off, but either way I am going to sport under armour compression shorts and a silver box head.
I was invited to a party tonight and at the last minute I found out they wanted people in costume. My Carmen Sandiego costume isn't very dance-y, and since it was a reggae party/concert I wanted something that would be more fun to move in. So, I quickly stumbled across the idea to be a "Freudian slip." I wore a slip dress with glasses and Freudian phrases written on my chest and arms. And when I remembered I said "penis" instead of various nouns throughout the evening. It was a hit -thanks to the sexy dress/nerdy glasses combo - but absolutely no one got it -thanks to the being too distracted by the sexy dress/nerdy glasses combo. Nonetheless, it was a supremely easy and fun costume to whip up with things I would guess a lot of girls would have already, if any TiBettes are looking for last minute ideas. Although, they were my reading glasses that I got from CVS for those times when I'm really tired, so I could only see a couple inches in front of me clearly, and my depth perception being thrown off so drastically while wearing heels wasn't wonderful when it came to things like climbing stairs or getting on or off the curb. But, looking over the top of the them was just as good when it came to acting like a psychoanalyst.
Audrey - there was a Freudian slip at the party that I went to last night, accompanied by Freud himself. Loved this costume: I went as Joan from Mad Men and my husband was Don Draper And then of course there was a nudist (seriously) but I don't think that I will post the pics here in this thread (mosey on over to the WDT if you want to see some)
My Harley from EpicMealTime costume was a huge hit. I carried 5 lbs of bacon and a magnum of Jack Daniels and distributed it generously. In doing so, I learned two things: 1. Jack chased with a bacon strip is surprisingly good. 2. Drunk sorority girls will do some really silly stuff for small pieces of bacon. "Dog treats for human beings" indeed.
I'd say this worked out well. My girlfriend's Italian complexion was a tad dark for the wig and dress. I was about 6'3'' in the platform boots I wore.
Al Bundy Halloween costume or shockingly accurate look into my life in 20 years? You decide. I did enjoy having an excuse to have my hand down my pants all night.
This is the finest Halloween costume I've ever seen, and it doesn't even have the prefix 'slutty' attached to it.
I went as the oily saxophone guy from The Lost Boys because, well, I STILL BELIEVE and for those who have fuzzy memories: <a class="postlink" href="http://youtu.be/yw3MO4E9gVA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://youtu.be/yw3MO4E9gVA</a>
The production floor staff at work wore these all afternoon. All of them had these on with different names on the back and cardboard hooves. A roommate wanted to head to a bar tonight so I reached for the quickest thing in the closet. Yep, pretty quick reproduction of last year. I have a lot of flannel and Carhartts in my closet already so being a lumberjack works minus a beard is easy. My roommate has some nice flight gear and the guy in the middle is Peter Griffin with birds in his beard. Awesome.
Here is an update to my Halloween costume. Overall it was a pretty solid hit except for the fact that I smelled like sharpies and spray paint (and lost more IQ points than I have to spare) due to last minute costume execution. Also the box stayed put via a baseball cap glued inside. Spoiler since I am in boxer briefs.
I just got done trick-or-treating with Li'l Bandit a couple of hours ago. As usual, this year he flip-flopped around on what to be until the last minute. First he wanted to be Link from Legend of Zelda, then a zombie, then the Scarecrow from "Batman Begins." I thought he was going to be the Scarecrow, but he said that the burlap bag was too itchy, so this evening he just put some fake blood on his face and called it good. At the end of the evening, he said that he thought he was getting to be too old for dressing up/trick-or-treating; looks like I'm gonna have to beat some sense into him... I however went as a dad escorting his three kids to Halloween festivities. "Wait a minute Bandit, you said that you only had one kid!" y'all are probably screaming at your monitors, and you are right. I got an idea while watching the Halloween episode of Regular Show on Cartoon Network with Li'l Bandit. In that episode, Mordecai (the main character) put sheets over five balloons, and collected five times the loot. "Hell, I can do that!" I thought. So I fabbed up a couple of "ghost children" out of some scrap wood and sheets. They rolled around on some caster wheels from an old creeper I have, and I pushed them around with the handle of a push broom bolted to the frame. Here I am with my "kids." AND IT WORKED! EVERYONE GAVE CANDY TO EACH OF THE GHOST CHILDREN! THREE TIMES THE LOOT FOR LI'L BANDIT! Here's a close-up of the ghost children: Why yes, that is a fish-net stocking clad leg in the above picture. In case anyone is wondering what The Ice Cream Cake Girl looks like these days, here she is: NSFW [rnsfw][/rnsfw] That's not a costume, it's how she dresses for work every day. Anyway, I will post some pictures of the whole "Ghost Children" setup tomorrow (which I plan to use again next year), I really don't feel like taking them right now.
