• Me? This year I'm dressing as a nerd. My SO is dressing up in goth, wearing a gag-gift bright green shirt over all of it that says 'I <3 Nerds'. Last year I wore a big afro and a plus size set of baby blue sweat pants/top, and she was Janus Joplin. So... I know others get nuts on halloween, we see them each year... but, do the monkeys get nuts?
• i always forget until the last minute and have to wear the nun costume i got a few years ago. nothing better than a nun with a goatee...
• from the trees?
• I'm going as a Crazy Hermit. Sordid details in this thread.
• I got invited to a Halloween party, but I'm not going. If I had gone, I'd either go as Apathy (wear a name tag that says "Hi! My name is Apathy"), or wrap myself in bubble wrap and go as a package.
• Little Bo Peep.
• 1 Inflatable alien doll + 1 ratty housecoat = 1 abductee costume.
• i count dots - that's a brilliant idea! Unfortunately, my inflatable alien is in another city right now. So I'll have to still with the elegant dryad costume I was planning :) (I was told to say I was Daphne, to impress classicists, but the leaves I have are maple leaves. Though I guess I could be a Canadian Daphne.
• I'm a goth. Every day is Halloween. So, I'll probably dress like a "normal" person for the actual night.
• Monkay, air sumpn. Ev cairse! Quotta silly kvestin. Charmed, I'm sure...
• If I can whip a Ming the Merciless costume in time, I'll do that. Otherwise I'll do Anton LaVey.
• I'll go as oilfield trash; hardhat and coveralls.
• Probably a French Maid. But since I am going to the Village Halloween Day parade with friends, we may go as arrested RNC protesters, per this thread.
• Mr Knickerbocker - Love the Ming idea. First evil villian I thought was awesome. I'm going as Miss Innsmouth 2004, but I'm telling people I'm just "Queen of the Fish People," because none of them read Lovecraft. That's tonight. Halloween itself...well, there's the handing-out of candy, and then some reading.
• Ginger Spice. With a girlfriend as Baby Spice and a Gay black male friend as Scary Spice.
• I am going to a party as Little Red Riding HO-micidal maniac. the hub will be a werewolf pimp thingy...
• I am going to go as a sterotypical 18 year old girl, complete with belly shirt and pink sweat pants, and if i can find some, some flip flops. (I'm a 6ft 4in 225lb 31 year old man with a beard, so it should be intersting. I never realized how gender normalized I was untill I went to go buy some women's clothes)
• I'm dressing as a NaNoWriMoWanNaBeWinNer. I'm itchy to start writing.
• A yuppie. Awful striped shirt, disgusting polka-dot tie, slicked back hair, aviators, enormous cardboard mobile phone, business cards ("Douglas M. Twatt of Twatt, Twatt and Fockers").
• Arrrr. My friend and I do be pirates. Avast ye scurvy dogs. We'll probably jettison the eyepatches/parrots for the Samhain ritual we're going to first, then get fully Anne Bonneyed up for the party afterwards.
• My girlfriend is going as Missy Elliot and I'm going as Martha Stewart - we're "High Crimes and Misdeameanors" Tomorrow night I'm taping sponges to my shirt and being "Self-absorbed."
• I stuck US postal forms and labels all over an old wedding dress and am going out as a mail order bride.
• I went to a party yesterday dressed as the devil (red dress, red velvet doc martins, fishnets, horns) and my date wore a t-shirt that said "got satan?"
• My SO went to an office party dressed as Clark Kent. Suit & tie, glasses, button-down shirt pinned open at the chest with a Superman t-shirt underneath. Also a bit of red cape peeking out under the jacket. It was a huge hit. He won the office award for best costume.
• wow. Did he give you the Kiss of Amnesia™?
• Uh, what was I saying?
