I have tentative Halloween plans!!   Okay, October 30th, but that's good enough for me.  We're going to meet up and head out to a corn maze and haunted house while in costume (group of lady librarians + husbands).

So now...I have to figure out a costume.  Preferably a warm one.  Creative people...help?

Urrghh! I knew this would happen! I can't pick a costume!

A little help please?

Choices:

1. Forbidden Pirate

2. Mime

I always love mime costumes! They're easy to do and you get to disguise your face in paint too! Plus, if you're good enough you might catch a few quarters

My boyfriend and I are going to a Halloween BBQ, costumes required. We're  doing suicide authors; I'm going as Sylvia Plath, and he as Ernest Hemmingway. I don't know about him but I'm fashioning a mini oven-helmet out of cardboard. I just need to find some old fashioned 50's clothing.

/morbid.

Paradox and I still don't have costumes for next week.  Meep!  Any suggestions?  We were going to try to go as Eric and Christine from Phantom of the Opera, but Goodwill didn't have what we needed (we checked 3 of them).  Any other ideas? :\  While matching would be fun, at this point, we just need costumes.

I finally decided on a costume. I'm going to be a sexy vampiress. I know it wasn't even on the list, but because of the weather here, it was the best choice. I won't freeze in it. So expect lots of cam-whoring from moi when Halloween finally gets here, lol.

I'm hoping to be David Bowie as the Goblin King from the Labyrinth.

Complete with giant blond wig and a cucumber in my pants!

Plus I can spend the whole night with a British accent, singing Dance Magic Dance and reciting You Remind Me Of The Babe.

You must provide photographic evidence of this costume.  Pretty please?

I second that!

Well, it's still sort of in the planning phases, although I was surprised at how much of the necessary stuff I had in my own closet...which should probably be embarrassing.

If I manage to pull it off, I will provide evidence.

You remind me of the babe...

  Hey, that's my idea.

Seriously, I'll be dressing up as Jareth as well.

And will provide us with photos in said Jareth costume as well, right?  Pretty please?

Halloween is so close, and I still have nothing! I might end up being cheap and just getting a little kit or something. Bah.

I will giveses yuz interweb kisseys if you curl your hair and dress up as Magenta.    Pinky swearz.

I was shopping around on the website of a local costume shop, and I think I found something. My only concern is that because it is so close to Halloween, things tend to sell out pretty quickly. Fingers crossed!

Last night I went to the amusement park, which was open and decorated for halloween. The lines were so short! The haunted houses weren't too impressive, with the exception of a claustrophobia thing.

I know the people dressed up are just trying to do their job, and that acting afraid would be the nice thing to do, but I can't help but make eye contact and smile so they know I'm not afraid.
