i need a good, cheap costume that i can easily get drunk in. last year i was ron burgandy from Anchorman, but i cant be that again. i was thinking natilee halloway, but that strikes me as both mean and a little obscure. any ideas?

How are you going to pull that off?! I'd imagine you'd have to glue foam rubber wedges to your face or something like that.

I love the way in America you can dress up as pretty much anything, scarey or not.

Anyway, our Halloween party theme will be the rather uncontrived theme of "horror movies" and I need something. I haven't worn fancy dress since I was a kid!

I'm having the same dilemma.

I have to dress up as something Pink for Halloween

i'm going to be early cher. i've got some suitable dresses, so all i need is a wig which is easily gotten from one of the many fake hair merchants down by the station.

What do you think about going as an L shaped Tetris block, dudes?

Hire a skeleton suit, stick a grey zip-up hoodie over the top and hey presto:

Blimey, I thought that was Graham Coxon when the picture popped up in new answers.

I might be Axl Rose, if I end up making it out to a party.

I am currently growing out my moustache to this end, with poor results.

i buy 3 or 4 bags of candy "in case i get any trick-or-treaters" even though i haven't gotten a single trick-or-treater in like 8 years.

"i guess i'll have to eat it then".

My gf is trying to convince me to go as Sebastian Flyte. She's even offered to buy me a teddy bear and conviently I would be able to be drunk as a necessary character trait, but I'm not sure if I want to.

Alex, get a light colored suit from a thrift and put a lot of padding in it and be David Byrne wearing the Big Suit.

I was going to do this but it wouldn't look right on me..

I'm going to a party as a really bad magician.

― Binjominia (Brilhante), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:50 (twenty years ago)

i'm going to carve hipster-pumpkins and put them in my candy store window for halloween. i should mention that i live in the candy store. and i'll have candy for trickortreaters because i love halloween so much. and maybe i'll watch buffy halloween episodes while i carve. and drink wine.

maybe some nyc ilxors want to carve pumpkins the weekend before halloween?

on costumes, i am stumped.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:02 (twenty years ago)

Carly, I'll carve the wkend before -- um, what's the date of Halloween? My calendar is Japanese/cheap and doesn't have holidays. Weren't you thinking of carving 'em up on the 22nd aka this Saturday?

― Laurel, Friday, 21 October 2005 01:09 (twenty years ago)

Dress up as one of them ILx trolls.

― King Money, Friday, 21 October 2005 01:10 (twenty years ago)

i gotta work kiddo. which is good. a girl at work can't come to work this weekend, so i'm working sat and sun. next weekend i should have a day off to luxuriate in pumpkin pulp. mmmmm.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:12 (twenty years ago)

I was thinking of going as Kate Moss on coke, right, but I don't know if this is a good idea.

― dar1a g (daria g), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:12 (twenty years ago)

do you have a pete doherty to lead you astray and a britishes accent?

I think I'm either going to dress up as Edward Tattsyrup or Papa Lazarou from the League of Gentlemen this year.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:24 (twenty years ago)

i have like 5 friends being "the dude" this year. so lazy!

― howell huser (chaki), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:25 (twenty years ago)

Carlz, I'm hitting Jersey City for a costume party on the night of the 29th, I'm afraid. Want to come?

― Laurel, Friday, 21 October 2005 01:36 (twenty years ago)

i'm afraid? that isn't mutually exclusive wiv pumpkins. maybe so, but i'm not even making plans past tomorrow yet.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:41 (twenty years ago)

Nono, not at all exclusive. Let's talk later.

― Laurel, Friday, 21 October 2005 01:50 (twenty years ago)

I'm gonna conjure up carrot top.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Friday, 21 October 2005 05:23 (twenty years ago)

i have the best costume idea ever now. oh yes. it's good

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:31 (twenty years ago)

(but it's a secret)

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:34 (twenty years ago)

about de darko thing, a couple of years ago i had the idea to dress as the skeleton rabbit... but failed as i couldn't find a proper costume...
maybe the were-rabbit anyone ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Friday, 21 October 2005 09:38 (twenty years ago)

OH haha i actually revealed my secret earlier in the thread!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 21 October 2005 10:19 (twenty years ago)

Well I'm gonna be either the devil (in a sexy outfit that you get from naughty shops) or the usual...a witch, where my mini black dress, 6 inch black heels, a black pointy had and look oh so hot!

― Tia Jade, Thursday, 27 October 2005 02:22 (twenty years ago)

I am going as a penguin, which may be the least sexy of all animals to dress as, but I don't care. Halloween needs to be more than just sexxy costumes for girls!

― scout (scout), Thursday, 27 October 2005 03:39 (twenty years ago)
