Last year, at a costume contest at a bar at home, dressing up as Jesus won a man several hundred dollars. There were also the dead prom queens. I went as in 70s digs. Friends went as hula girl, soccer player, britney, forrest gump and capt dan (complete with wheel chair). That was the best.

Year before that (2000), did an urban cowboy costume and got caught in rioting at school. Friends went as a firefighter, cat, britney again, witch, french maid, police officers, doctors, male love slave with a belt around the neck. There was quite a crew.

My most comfy costume was what a sister and I wore for an exchange, we went in pajama pants, animal slippers, pig tails and painted rosy cheeks and freckles. Complete with teddy bears in hand. It was easy, cheap and so nice to wander around the party and bars and afterhours in pjs.

Maybe instead of being a dead prom queen you could try a beauty queen?

Last year I was "Miss America"... i made the cutest sash that said Miss America 01-02 on it, wore a dress from the previous year's formal with gloves and the works, and bought a tiara and sceptor on ebay that looked like they were real diamonds ;) The girls loved it.

This was when i was like in 7th grade. Ok it was little unique, people didn't get it.

I was a person that got struck my lightning. Yeah so I curled, teased, and hair sprayed my hair until it stuck out staight. Then I shreaded some old clothes and put black powder or something to make it look like shinged clothing. I also made a lightning bolt to put in my hair. I also put black paint on my face and arms. What can I say, it was different. One lady asked if I was a TV, I was like do you see a box with knobs on me? Maybe some how if i had like smoke coming off me like dry ice people would of got it.

that's a cool idea ADPiAlly!

LOL!!! Funniest post of the day!!!

:D

Glad to be of service :D

May I should go as a TV as the lady asked HEHE

I might try to be the lightning person again this year but the logistics of putting dry ice on me is stumping me. And it would be hella cool if smoke was coming from my hair. But again I don't know how I would do it. I can always light my hair on fire LOL Just kidding. Does anyone have any ideas??? Thanks

Ally

any ideas for couples to dress together?

mr amycat is obsessed w the idea of me a slutty schoolgirl. lol. I may just indulge him. ;) but he'd have to be my male love sllave in return. ;) lol

SigmaChiCard, one year my boyfriend and I were going to try and dress "together".. I was going to be Cleopatra, and he was going to be Julius Cesar. We were also thinking doctor & nurse.

One couple I saw at last year's Halloween party were dressed as M&M's... the girl was of course the green M&M and the guy was the yellow one. I thought it was cute ;)

Okay, I threw a Halloween party for a client last year and the following was a list of suggested "couples" costumes which I've updated with a few, more current additions.

If you are looking for good ideas, do a google.com search for Halloween costumes! You'll find plenty!

Everyone always tells me I look like Agent Scully from the X-Files, so one year I put on a black pantsuit, pinned on a makeshift FBI badge and carried a green inflatable alien doll. I won costume constests for that one!

My boyfriend is a total nut about Halloween, so I had to have a good costume this year. He is going as Death, and I am going to be a Fallen Angel, complete with black feather wings and glow in the dark halo. I am still trying to decide which accessories I will use.

This thread has some FABULOUS couple costume ideas. Others that we considered were Doctor/Patient, Flapper/Mobster, and Vampire/Buffy the Vampire Slayer. One of the BEST couple costumes I ever saw was a couple dressed as a lightbulb and a plug. He was the plug, and when their costumes connected, she light up! I have no idea how they did it, but it was hysterically funny!

Maybe I should go as the cover girl for "Girls Gone Wild" video. ;)

OK, dont think i am wierd or something, but i always wanted to dress up like a roach or some other gross bug, and then do a couple thing, and the person you were with dresses up as an exterminator. i think it would be really cute!
