vulgarweedHalloween is coming up again. What should I be?
Last year I was a Ringwraith and G was a Jedi. We had a crossovertastic drunken swordfight in the middle of the floor at a packed rock club. My costume made me pretty blind, which made the sword fight even better--his glowing lightsaber was literally the only thing I could see.
That'll be hard to beat.

Date: 2007-10-08 09:37 pm (UTC)Me, I'm having the problem of a surplus of costumes and an insufficiency of venues. I don't think we're getting to dress up at the office, I feel compelled to wear my pink Romana costume at the one Halloween party I know I could go to, and I'm dressing my mother in the Ten costume I'm assembling just to have the vicarious thrill. And I need to find someone to go to the Ren faire with me so I have the excuse to wear my absinthe fairy outfit now that I've got the good wig and corset.

My favorite high-concept costume was in '04 when I went as an Entwife for Kerry.

Date: 2007-10-09 05:26 pm (UTC)I've gotten spoiled by previous years when I was able to visit a ren faire in October and go to that one party and dress up at work -- one year I recall managing to find at least three or four costuming opportunities in the month, including a friend's party the weekend after Halloween. I'm thinking stealth costume on Halloween at work -- my glen plain trousers and vest, with the Doctor hat and scarf to be added that night for the benefit of trick-or-treaters when I'm answering the door -- and I'm really on the fence about the party since it's likely to be my one good dress-up chance this month. (I have no one to go to TRF with this year. It's saddening. I should maybe actually ask my friends.)

Date: 2007-10-08 09:44 pm (UTC)Actually, I'm kind of seriously entertaining this Serpent of Eden idea. Everybody gets a snake and an apple, right? (And it would fit my habit of good but wildly impractical costumes.)
Also on the snake theme, I am also toying with the idea of going as a big honkin' Deathly Hallows spoiler.

Date: 2007-10-09 01:14 am (UTC)yeah, sorry...i'm nowhere near as...well...shocked. as i seem, that is. it's been a damn peculiar week and i feel like i've been gutted and stuffed with bent pins and cast-off teeth, so things are hitting me oddly.
i was just thinking that if you do that, i'd have to go as Harry. and then i was seeing the impossibility of my even pretending to be a Gryffindor. ever. ;)
too bad you haven't got a real snake. too bad i haven't got a real snake!
