Are you dressing up for Halloween?

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Yeah good trachten don't really qualify as a costume... you need to wear them pretty regularly to make the cost worth it. Its the same with kilts or any other high quality piece of clothing. I wear mine more than a lot of the regular clothes I wear so I don't feel bad about spending the dough.

 

[Homercidal]

Due to limited time to do up a costume, I'm thinking abotu going as a heavy metal guitar player. I already have several guitars and a actual "Midnight Snack" concert T. Ok, it's our band, and it's really only a couple of guys who never actually played anything for real, but the T looks pretty sweet, and totally fits the Heavy Metal image, so it works.

Plus, I got an optic fibre head bangers wig to go with it. \m/

I need costume advice. My wife and I just had our first child and without going into the explanation, the kid WILL be in a little lobster outfit. We'd like to match or do something complementary to the lobster but can't figure out what. I thought maybe I could go as a fisherman and SWMBO as a mermaid? You don't really fish for lobster though. Actually I just had a thought... what if we both went in chef outfits and I carried the lobster baby around in a big pot?!

Go as Popeye and Olive Oil. Is that not relevant enough?

 

[Damonic]

Guess I'm late to the party... already been done.

Won't stop me from doing it though! Unless you guys come up with something better...

 

[flyangler18]

SWMBO and I are going as Lois Lane and Superman, respectively.

 

[Laurel]

I won't be dressing up, but I guess at HWMBO's work, they give you something if you dress up. I imagine that he'll be wearing either his karting suit w/ helmet or a gilly suit that he did up for paintball.

 

[STAD]

HWMBO... Haha, still cracks me up.. I wish it worked that way...

 

[sause]

Yes. I watch the Inspiration yesterday. I'm going as a football player from the movie Necessary Roughness. Texas State Armadillos Baby!!

 

[Donasay]

I was going to be a tarted-up beer wench, but some nut-sacker in my apartment complex stole my package with the costume in it!

My backup will either be french maid (yawn) or Willy Wonka (the Gene Wilder one, not the child-molestery Johnny Depp one)

I actually orderede a plus size tarted up beer wench costume myself... I have 3 halloween parites to go to and I am supposed to dress up for work, needless to say the tarted up beer wench is not work appropriate...

 

[Bourdon]

I want to go as a ghostbuster this year. IDK if I have enough time to build the proton pack to my liking (power-up sound, working lights, charging tone, etc...). Maybe next year.

 

[Laurel]

It does in my house. Maybe you need to have a heart to heart with your lil lady.

Not in this house. It's HWMO. There's no B anywhere in there. Now, if you want to get technical, really it's HWMOAAAAT (Must Obey And Adore At All Times)

 

[Brett3rThanU]

My girlfriend is going as a Flying Saucer waitress since I'm there 2-3 times a week. The attire is a short plaid skirt, tight tank top, and knee high socks. If you know the bar, you know what I'm talking about. I'm going as a dirty old man.

A few years ago I went as the main character from the movie Memento. My friends and I spent 3 hours putting all the tattoos on myself with permanent marker and stencils. It was hard because I kept having to pause the movie to get the tattoos down. I did get a few compliments and several pictures taken with me, but most people hadn't see the movie.

 

[Damonic]

+1 for Memento, I would've been hella impressed. I probably would have kept coming up to introduce myself to you over and over again!

 

[DeathBrewer]

i'm doing the joker. already got purple pants and a jacket. all i need is some shoulder pads, a purple shirt and a green suit vest...planning to do a little more shopping today, actually. the makeup goes on tomorrow:

my hair's a little long, but at least that will seperate me from the other 20 jokers i'm bound to run in to.

 

[DeathBrewer]

yes.... yes i am XD

see? there's one already! :cross:

Oh it was more of a joke, it's fairly mutual. Just with certain things.... Haha.

 

[Kevin Dean]

My wife and I are going to a drunk/eat/smoke fest this halloween so it's the first time I dressed up for Halloween since I wore my peewee football equipment in 5th grade.

She's going as a serving wench, and in keeping with the "be something you're not normally" theme, she's being the designated driver.

I'm going as V from V For Vendetta. A fat V.

Incidentally, this one is home brew related, since I've whipped up a batch of Halloween Haus Pale Ale (which is a nice way to say "SWMBO told me to make beer much faster than I'm prepared to do, but I did it anyway.")

 

[Chriso]

Awesome possum, y'all. Made a keg of 1 gal Margarita Mix, 1/2 gal Strawberry Daquiri Mix, 2.5 L Tequila, 2 cans Limeade Concentrate, and a little water. Force carbed at 40 psi and served on ice.

We have Dr. Horrible, homeless Captain Hammer, Joe Biden, two gay cowboys, a wizard, a butterflywizard, a poker player, and a spy from Team Fortress 2. Sweet f*in ass party!

PS I'm druck. You have GOT to try the above Staw Marg on Ice recipe. It's rlly good. SWMBO Slayer For Sure.

 

[Elpiochnb4]

I dressed up as Johnny Creamed Corn. He is similar to Johnny Appleseed but I felt like that had been over done, and I did not have any Appleseeds.

 

[olllllo]

Some people at my Party

Me as Count Chocula

 

[Elpiochnb4]

The Lego men could the funniest freaking costume I have ever seen.

 

[alex_wilkosz]

i shall say the best i saw this year was this:

5 guys...on bicycles, with cardboard cutouts on each side riding thorugh the city most of the night....the first was pacman..the other 4 were the ghosts...they had the music....then later they flipped there costumes and the pacman was "chasing" 4 blue ghosts
