Halloween Costume Ideas

[accadacca]

My work is having a dress up day on Halloween. They are giving away some prizes, the 1st place winner gets $1000. I have not dressed up since high school or longer. What should I do to get the $$$!!! It is going to be a dog and pony show.

Try this.

Just don't go as Dracula, or the Hobo. Those are always sell outs.

It's funny the guys our age that dress up as hobos, and have to color a beard in on their face because they can't grow one.

I always wanted to dress up as a "hot dog on a stick" girl, I always thought that would be funny. I could do it, but I'm a whimp!

How about a wetsuit, a half mask and a tu-tu?

[Sombeech]

My favorite costume. Oh, and my disco getup wasn't to bad either.

Here's some costume ideas...

Future Guy

Necessary Materials:
* 2 Black Plastic Garbage Bags
* Duct Tape (Preferably Grey)
* 1 Adhesive Label

What to do:
Cut two holes in the bottom of one of the bags for your legs and pull the bag on like a pair of pants. Next, cut two arm holes and a neck hole in the bottom of the other bag and pull it on like a shirt. (Garbage bags can be dangerous if you wrap them around your head until you can't breathe... be careful! This costume not recommended for children under 3.) Tuck your "Future Shirt" into your "Future Pants" and wrap the duct tape tightly around your waist several times as a "Future Belt." Write something futuristic on the adhesive label like "Future Suit 3000" or something and stick it in the center of your chest and you're all set! Throughout the night make a point of saying things like "I knew that was going to happen, you see, because I'm from the future." If anyone asks you to predict anything, just say you aren't allowed to reveal future events or it may screw up the space/time continuum. You can even use it as a great pickup line! Something like "Boy, you sure look familiar. Oh, I remember! We had that wild night of amazing sex back on Halloween 2001! Wait a minute... that's tonight, isn't it? Imagine that!"

Pop Sensation Lionel Richie

Necessary Materials:
* Digital photo of Lionel Richie (provided)
* Software capable of basic photo editing
* Color printer
* A piece of cardboard roughly the size of your head
* (1) Large rubber band
* Stapler
* A suave outfit

What to do:
Start by copying the following picture to your hard drive.



Open your photo editing software and increase the size of the image as large as you can while still fitting it on one sheet of paper (8.5x11"). Print the picture in the highest quality you can on a nice heavy paper and then cut out the outline of Lionel's head. Next, spread some glue on the back of the picture and stick it to the cardboard. Once again cut along the outline of Lionel's head through both the paper and cardboard. Hold your mask up to your face and mark where your eyeholes need to be and cut them out. Cut the rubber band in half and staple one end to either side of the mask. Put on your suave outfit and mask and you're ready to go! I honestly can't give you any pointers on how to act like Lionel Richie, I've never met the guy, but I guarantee none of your friends have either, so feel free to adlib. In a pinch you can always say "Gee, that ceiling sure looks great... for dancing!"

[accadacca]

I heard that the guy that took the $1000 last year was Edward Scissorhands. This year he is planning on being Lemony Snicket's and I heard that he is actor on the side too. Oh well we are having trick or treating for the kids and a load of other prizes. Did anyone really think I was serious???

[Sombeech]

There's gotta be a great story there...

Yep, there sure is/are. I should start a seperate thread, 'cause this chick was nutz!

[Sombeech]

So, how'd it go? What did you dress up as?

Here's what my wife dressed up as today. Pippi Longstockings

[rockgremlin]

I like the steel-toed boots. Did she make the costume herself?

Yeah. Those are my steel toed boots, too.

You can see the leather tips are worn down, from all my years of KICKIN' ARSE. ... or other things.
