Well last year's was bumped and locked. And I'm an unoriginal bastard so I need ideas for this year. Especially with it being Friday night, I do believe I'll be making an embarrassment of myself downtown, and naturally want to do that dressed in the appropriate attire. Also, this is my first year owning a home, and in a neighborhood full of young children. Part of me wants to keep the lights off and hide til they're done, part of me wants to be the degenerate neighbor (still law abiding... beers only for the dads). Focus: Halloween. Costume ideas, party ideas, scary stories (devil's nights mishaps anyone?) Last year's: http://www.theidiotboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=190908
Focus: I got a Celtic sword, so I figure I go as the Dragonborn from Skyrim or a Celtic warrior. Just got to figure a leather costume, with fur trim, and the boots and I'm set. Sword looks like this;
I'm working a temporary gig at a Halloween store. Fuck Frozen. And fuck fat people bitching that we don't have every costume in a "plus size". Also, fun fact...some of the "costumes" are the same cheap-ass role playing lingerie sold at dildo shops around the nation. If my store hits their charity goal (our charity is sort of great-100% of cash donated goes to the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth, and we volunteer a Halloween event for the kids there), then my staff pick my costume. So far, I'm going as a very confused, angry slut. With horns and teeth. The kicker: if my classmates help, I'll post the pictures as my profile pic for grad school (and hopefully, graduation pic). If any of you want to donate, let me know....hairy, irritated, blackmail material will ensue.
I did Slash for last year's bash to much success although some of the people who ate my brownies apparently went berserk. I'm not sure if we're going out this year but if so my choices are:
Dude... Edit: come to think of it, Macho Man could be good. Have your date be Miss Elizabeth, then both of you be zombies as well.......since you're both dead.
I love Rick Flair . . . LOVE him . . . but I already have the beard and the dark hair ready to go. I'm thinking simple.
I'm going as Elaine Stritch. I decided this way back in the beginning of the year when I saw her documentary, and since she died a few months ago it's now even more necessary for me to go as her. There will maybe be three gay guys that I pass on the street who will get it and everyone else will be really confused, even after I tell them, but it is going to be great. If anyone knows her, it's probably due to being Colleen Donaghy (Jack's mom) on 30 Rock. Her uniform is wearing a white button-up shirt, black tights, and heels, then I'm adding a bowler hat and big round sunglasses as cues. So it's going to be a compilation of these: I just need to find a long enough shirt.
So I'm going to a huge free party thrown by a vendor with an Alice in Wonderland theme, so of course the GF started sending me white rabbit costumes so she can go as Alice.
I just got my xwing pilot costume today. Due to the weight I've put on since getting married, I'm gonna be porkins
I love love love halloween, but for some reason I haven't found any inspiration yet this year. My costumes have not historically been the most child-friendly, but the agency I work for is inviting all the foster and adoptive kids to come for a little trick-or-treat party, so whatever I dress up as has to be totally G-rated. What's a girl to do?
Whats a girl to do? I thought girls had it super easy. Instead of slutty nurse, just be a nurse, instead of slutty teacher just be a teacher? Or is it not possible to be a non-slutty nurse/teacher?
But that's so boring!! Plus the only costume recently that was inappropriate for slutty reasons was the tyrannowhorus Rex, which was sort of intended to poke fun at sludgy costumes.
Unless youre morbidly obese, you could still probably pull off a Wedge Antilles. I havent decided on mine, but Luke Skywalker was one option, the other was Rust Cohle from True Detective, but I dont know how many people would get it.
