I don't have a Halloween Costume

[InkL0sed]

Please help. Urgent.

Vampire. Buy a cape. Let your chick put eyeliner on you (they love that part). Done.

[InkL0sed]

I can only use materials I have around the house, buying things is out of the question.

Plus, that's kind of a tradition of mine. Throw together a terrible yet ridiculous costume the night before. But normally I have a good idea...

[Ditocoaf]

Sorry, can't help you... same problem here in fact, but I'm in a dorm room, so I have nothing to throw together. And, now that I have to buy my own food, getting candy tomorrow has a sense of urgency about it...

You could always be a nudist.

PS. WHOA, fastposted by jim (great minds think alike???)

[Chicken_lord]

Shave your head and paint it up like a disco ball (or get a spherical hat and paint it like a disco ball!).

Then deck yourself out in some 70's - 80's Gear!

[InkL0sed]

I think I've decided.

I'm going to dress as ridiculously as possible. But not actually be anything.

Maybe I'll tell everybody different things whenever people ask what I am. This sounds brilliant, if I can pull it off.

[Frigidus]

Put on a suit and slick back your hair. Tada, you are a lawyer.

[pimpdave]

Do you have any potato sacks lying around? Just wear that, and when people ask what you are, say, "stock broker".

[muy_thaiguy]

Put on a cap, knickers, a school jacket (has to be blue or black), maybe a long haired curly wig, tennis shoes, and your Guitar Hero controller. And Voila! You are now Angus Young.

[Dancing Mustard]

Put on a suit and tie (as vulgar and colourful as possible), then print a sticker saying "Lehman Bros" and stick it on a cardboard box... ta-da! You are now a city broker.

Optional props include graphs that show lines plummeting downwards, large numbers of pens, and a copy of the Financial Times.

[jiminski]

orr you could: put on some make-up; a racy little skirt; some tall, size 8, lime green, open toe womens shoes.. hopefully a silver boob-tube, if you have one handy!
Then wrap around a black sheet as a cape, fashion some fangs from an apple. Finish the outfit off by tucking a calculator into your boob-tube and sticking an ice-box up your arse.
Et Voila: Count Dragcooler.

just get a chainsaw

Unless you are going to list all items in the house, we can't really help you much.

great idea

[pimpdave]

Unless you are going to list all items in the house, we can't really help you much.

Yes, get on that please. Remember to include brand names in your list, and your list will not be complete without your complete address and times when the domicile is generally unoccupied.

We really can't help you otherwise.

I'm leaning towards dressing as Ted Stevens tonight. It's simple. I'll just keep the suit on after work, put on a name tag that says Convict Stevens, and then walk around all night shouting "NO!" and "It's a series of tubes!"

I might need to stop in a party store or costume joint to get a couple convict like props. Any ideas? Right now I'm thinking:

Ass lube
Screwdriver (you know, like for a shiv)


And that's it. I have no other really good ideas.

Phil, the Prince of Insufficient light.

Should be easy enough, there are plenty of satan costumes out there. You just need a giant red spoon instead of a pitchfork.

I don't think a wanker costume is viable.

[Ditocoaf]

Well, I've solved my problem, and have some advice for you:

It doesn't have to be a "costume" as you'd normally think of it. If you're dressed in a way that is obviously unusual, then you're good. For instance, what I decided to do is this: get out all my camping and backpacking gear, and go around with a giant stick from the woods, wearing hiking shorts, hiking boots, and a T-shirt. At night in October in the Northwest. Should be fun!

[THORNHEART]

take a red marker and draw a big target circle on your face and then in small lettters say "punch" or treat?

Please help. Urgent.

If you have a color printer then print this out and and cut along the dotted lines.



You can go here for other political figures....even Britney Spears!

[Ditocoaf]

So how'd things turn out, ink?

[InkL0sed]

Oh. Well, it was 2 AM and I still didn't have any idea what to do, so I just started putting on random shit.

So first, I put on some red soccer socks. But they were old and loose, and wouldn't stay high. So I fastened them around my knees with a red tie around each knee.

I put on sweat pants and rolled them up above the knee. Then I put on a bright yellow referee's jersey, with an inside-out baseball jacket thing. I tied a blue tie right above each elbow, just because.

Then I put on a parrot mask, with a fisherman's hat.

So... considering the flamboyancy of all this, I ended up being a parrot.





Unfortunately, you can't see the awesomeness that was below waist level.
