what was your best halloween costume ever?

[isabeau]

i dont know if this has been posted before but anyway i'll start one now. in grade school i went trick or treating as an indian sqaw. mom painted my face and i was even complete with a papoose on my back. a baby doll also wore an indian costume. i got most original at a halloween party. and later while trick or treating, i approached a house where this older guy was hanging out beside the sidewalk. he was trying to start trouble with the kids. anyway when i turned from him and went up the steps towards the house, i heard him say cool , meaning the papoose on my back. that was my best costume, however in junior high i went to a halloween dance as a sexy witch. black hat short black skirt red fishnet hose and some guy said is that you melanie? dont you sit behind me in reading class? he was so shocked because i was normally a shy person

Heh,

Well mine wasn't sexy, not to me anyway. But I crafted together a ferret tail and a set of ears, trust me, dragging along a thick tail with cotton in it isn't as easy as it looks, talk about wrecking my jeans by stapling that thing to my butt so manytimes.

Went to a party and people loved it because it was the first ferret costume they had ever seen. I'm just creative, and bored. >>

The one I'm wearing to a party tonight's kind of cute. I'm going as a priest...with rosaries in one hand and a bottle of Bourbon in the other.

It's so funny, because Halloween's an occasion where we celebrate the frightening, as well as being frightened.

Well, I scared the living Tom DeLay out of the gothie goil behind the counter there at the Halloween store. I made an intentionally not-too-funny joke about priests and pedophilia (the Church's sweeping this problem under their rug is a current event that has me bugged), and she looked at me as if I had pulled a semi-automatic weapon out from under Knox The Hatter's ever present chapeau. I said to her, "yeah, it is a frightening world, isn't it?"

Isn't it strange how the real world, and all the hazards within, doesn't rate a mention on All Hallow's Eve? What with terrorism, what with the spector of a lethal flu pandemic, what with the dangers involved in just letting your children go to school...

How odd. But, here's Casper the Friendly Ghost. Boo.

i so agreee Knox and i love your humour

My best costume was going as Mimi from the Drew Carey show. Figured I may as well live up to my screen name, and those who have met me in person can tell you how well I can truly pull her off. It's not a huge stretch...lol. I had the whole getup, though....blonde curly wig with the bright colored headband, long uber gaudy million colored dress, about 20 bracelets, 10 necklaces, long huge earrings, and enough blue eye shadow and other make up to paint a house. I come already equipped with the personality and attitude, so I didn't need to put on any fronts there...lol. When all was said and done, the effect was fantastic. I got so many compliments that night out at the clubs!

This year I'm going as a Hippy. No stretch there, either, and half my wardrobe fits the look!

Mimi 🙂

I'd have to say that my favorite costume was from a few years back when I dressed up for a costume party as a goth clown. I had this black fishnet goth shirt with chains dangling from it, cape, orange clown wig with a black top hat, white clown face with blue outlined with black around the eyes and black lipstick. It came out looking awesome. Nobody at the party recognized me and I even managed to freak a few people out. I had a great time that night.

I usually show up in something slutty (those who know me well are shocked, hmmm?) So one year, just for laughs (I had to work~I was a checkout girl) I dressed up as the late Sam Kinison, my favorite comedian. I wore my hair down long, a goofy baret, made a HUGE cardboard cross to wear around my neck. I borrowed my big friend Nick's raincoat and put a pillow inside on top of my stomach. People coming thru my line either said, "Who the heck are you supposed to be?" or collapsed in hysterics: "OMIGOD~you're Sam Kinison, THAT is so great!"
XOXO

omg steph i loved him also how cool

I've never gone trick-or-treating. But if I did, I'd go as myself, dress up as a nerd, and do my best Louis Skolnick impersonation. I'd bet that would scare the living daylights out of everyone! 😀

That might be one of the more interesting ideas I've heard of. I don't know how it could be practical...but I'm sure some enterprising person out there could figure out how to make it so...

Maybe it could be done by cutting out a foot from a huge piece of foam, like a gumby suit. then you could paint the toenails and maybe add some corns and callouses.
