anyonee...? I have no idea WHAT to be. I want it to be creative and funny. But not to uncomfortable. and easy/not expensive to put together. any good character's or ideas for me!?! =) thanksss. peace--liz
I'm going as a cavewoman. I bought some animal print fabric and some air dry clay. I'm making a sew-easy "dress" and I made some bones out of the clay. I will sew the bones on the dress for decoration, and put a bone in my hair. I'll tease my hair out. My husband is going as a doctor. He has a lab coat, the coat has a label that says, "orgasm donor" his name tag says, "Dr. Seymour Butts - Ob/Gyn - from the clinic for sexual health" He's got a stethescope, and some other tools. You can also put a lamp shade on your head, make a cardboard table to put around your waist and an alarm clock attached to that - and be a "one night stand". Blacken one of your eyes, and wear a big "P" on your shirt - be a blackeyed pea. A sheet over your head and be a ghost - or wrap the sheet around you to make a toga. Wear black and lots of make-up, to be goth. Get some clothes from a secondhand store and be a pimp or a ho. Wear your pj's and be a little kid. Dress very sexy with glasses and be a sexy librarian, or Sarah Palin. You could stuff your bra really full, wear a platinum blond wig and be Dolly Parton.
You could make a robot costume out of boxes. You could wrap yourself in saran wrap. You could dress normal and say that you are a hippie and you're boycotting Halloween because of the commercialism.
Wear a tight dress with a pillow under it. Smoke lots of cigarettes, drink, and pretend to be a pregnant celebutard. Wear a really bad behive and skanky clothes with makeup smeared all over your face. Act completely wasted. Draw a couple of tattoos on yourself and be Amy Winehouse.
Why don't you look around some Halloween websites and stores and get some inspiration from there? Or how about a site like this. I bet you can find tons of things around the house to make similar costumes to the ones you find in these places, but they can give you some pretty good ideas. I am decent at making up last minute costumes. One year I was Lydia from Beetlejuice, which requires little else but some black makeup, some hair gel, and a black frock. Two of my friends attached paper clips and envelopes/letters to their shirts and went as email attachments. Another found an old boy scouts uniform at a thrift store (thrift stores are good for these things) And we also made axes out of tin foil and spatulas, put on flannel shirts and suspenders, and went as lumberjackies. Um...I am sure I'll come back with a few more.
I'm going as Mother Nature this year--I bought a white muumuu with a tropical flower design on it, then I crocheted a headpiece using artificial autumn leaves; I made a rainbow collar (I have to admit I'm pretty proud of that one! ), a pair of bracelets with flowers on them and a pair of earrings that look like the Sun and the Moon--now all I have to do is find a decent pair of sandals to wear with it and I'm all set! I can't wait to put it on come Halloween!
Be Uncle Fester from the Addam's family. Or Uncle It. All you need is a very long wig and sunglasses. . I read in one website this funny idea for a costume. Wear your normal clothes and hold a picket sign that says "Nudist on Strike".
