    Resolved [RESOLVED] {Serious} Need Suggestions

    for an upcoming Halloweens costume.

    Please avoid from mentioning all those hero types like spiderman, superman, batman and the like.

    I don't want to buy stupid clothes for this or spend too much.

    Any nice suggestions?

    I'm scarier now. Even outsiders attest to it.

    There is a halloween costume store somewhere that is selling an Osama Bin Laden costume.

    You may be assaulted if you wear that though, so just be a witch.

    Re: {Serious} Need Suggestions

    Many years back, a friend of mine took a small, rectangular, wastebasket, put a white shirt with a jacket over it on the wastebasket (she must have added something to fill out the shoulders, but it could be anything), then put red food coloring or some such around the collar of the shirt to look like blood. She perched this upon her shoulders, and buttoned the shirt down around her neck, and bent one sleeve of the jacket up to right under her chin, and added a glove or something at the end of the sleeve (which may have been stuffed with paper or something to fill it out). The effect was that it appeared that she was a decapitated person carrying her head in her hand. She may have added some gray makeup to make her face a bit pale and dead looking, but it wasn't really necessary, because the effect was so good that it was startling whenever she moved her eyes (and with the basket on her shoulders, she really couldn't turn her head much anyways). She won a prize for that one.

    Dress up like a bumbling tourist. Need sun-shades, a camera around your neck, shorts, tee and a small backpack.

    A very straight-laced (or so I had assumed) female boss of mine came to our office Halloween party one year dressed in a black leotard. On the leotard were attached various stragically placed traffic signs such as "curves ahead" and "slippery when wet".

    Oh and to make the costume look more like a road, she had painted two yellow stripes down the middle of the leoptard.

    Wear pepper spray. That'll avoid attention.

    Or at least carry it around with you.

    Seriously though, if you wear something dark, it might be considered a bit... well... dark!

    Go as a scarecrow,
    just wear old clothes, with some straw poking
    out of the cuffs and neck, with a bag over
    your head.

    Real question is will you post a pic of the costume.

    uh, that would be itchy...


    hmm, somebody has to remind me... too bad hairball and n0vembr is not there to take pics now.

    I'm all alone. And they all call me Miss.. It's unfair. I'd rather be called belle. I always correct them but they never listen. :sigh:

    I should try and freak out people by doing that, and then everytime someone tries to talk to me I say.. "I see dead people."

    And try to point to their friends.

    Better yet, point to their parents. That'll really upset them.

    sounds like me when I go to the mall, MINUS the camera around my neck. If I did that, I'd be a walking headless henchwoman.

    Well, we were just informed that cute costumes are not acceptable

    it has to be scary.


    i think i'll make my costume look like I was stabbed in the back.
    i'll make the props, the challenge is in making sure the knife doesn't wobble or get bent to one side. hahaha

    Working in an office environment will ensure that you never run short of knives in the back.
