I'm going as a clown. The best, most original costume I ever had was my Mrs. Doubtfire costume. I wore one of my grandmaw's old dresses and a hat and it was fun. :)

Hugh Hefner, huh? Silk pajamas, Viagra, bubbleheads? ;)

Its all about the polyester!!!
 

After weeks and weeks of agonizing over a costume and after trips to vintage clothing and antique stores, I found a costume and it only cost me 17 bucks.

It is a blue flowered dress straight out of the Bradys, got the white scarf and earings to go with it. I'll get to wear it out tonite to a costume party.

I also might go out tom in pajama pants, a tank, slippers and with my teddy bear - what a comfy "costume."

Last year - I found these wild red pants with black splatters on them, paired them with a black halter and stuck a cowboy hat on my head - wha la a girl from coyote ugly. Oh year I had the big hair and belt too.

This years costume.
 

So, the friday night before our saturday Halloween party I went to bed trying to think of a costume, so naturally I awake Saturday morning with the perfect idea. My consul is engaged to our sweetheart, and he got for her the phattest diamond ring, which we all make fun of because we want to beat her up, take it, and pawn it...but nevertheless. She's a XO, and though she is REALLY REALLY into it, she's just as in to Sigma Chi. I go to our consul's (Gene's) place to see if he has any of her XO apparel lying around, telling him I'm dressing as this girl, when to my surprise, our sweetheart (Beth) is sitting there. Words exchanging, she takes me back to her place to outfit me as a XO.

So now, dressed entirely in her well-recognized style, with a wig relative to her, with her bra and appropriate size, with her bag, jewlry, lavalier, a fake plastic HUGE diamond ring, and a mask I'd made from a photo at Kinko's, I was Beth...and my good buddy whom I dress up with each year dressed as my Gene, sweater around his neck, mask, and looking just like Gene, sporting the letters all proudly. Though my description is too boring to portray the absolute comedy of it. I had the worst time getting into the party because for the first 25 minutes, I was constantly in pictures, the 4 of us...both Beth's, and both Gene's.

Some more interesting costumes for ideas for you guys that were at our party.
A TV-style box on your head with an opening, above which is written "Free Mamograms." Osama paired with a military person, running around with a watergun shooting at Osama with a red, nonstaining liquid. Everyone besides Osama that you hit is a civilian casuality. Bronzed Greek Gods. Drunk couch guy with shirt ripped with hilarious things drawn on him like a penis on his chin, pledge bitch witten...just lotsa derogatory stuff written in permanent marker, basically...things you'd do to a drunk guy passed out on the couch. JFK with a bullet to the head, with his marilyn monroe. Lots of our guys look like famous people, so we had several people just dress accordingly..Enrique Iglesias and Fred Durst are two I immeadiately think of.
--------
Continuing. That night was among the elite of most drunken nights ever, I won every challenge to chugging beer faster...a night of fufilled stereotypes, I guess. But at some odd twist-in-fate point, I began making out with this girl, who is very attractive, granted, but not someone whom I'd otherwise engage..know what I mean? Anyway. I was conscious enough to realize we were messing around, nothing as bad as my future roomie whom was told a girl actually went down on him on the dance floor(note: he did not remember it at all), but I'm told on Sunday that my buddy who was watching us kissing saw that she was rubbing on my fake breast, like caressing it. Crazy shit, I dare say. His description was that without using her mouth, she was playing with my fake chest as much as he (known player) has ever played around with a girls chest. I cannot testify as I was only there in body and not mentally. Never puked that night, but took care of lots of people who did. The place it is at is really funny. I've been there 4 or 5 times, and it's supposedly really close, but I have no clue where it is because I've been obiliterated everytime I've gone, and close to passing out everytime I've come home. I would guess only 1/3 of our chapter knows where it is...and they that's only because they most always stay sober to drive.
--------
Lose my keys that night somehow, and spend the hours between 4 (when I woke up) and 7 with the worst hangover ever, eating about 5 tylenol extra strengths, looking for my keys everywwhere, the search only began after my roomie asks me if I found them.....the conversation:
EB: Find your key's?
Me: Did I lose them?
EB: You called me last night around 4:30 telling me you did, after I'd been asleep for a couple of hours

It was comical, but someone had found them at the party location, so I got them back at meeting (THANK GOD)

Crazy Weekend!

My weekend wasn't as crazy, but all in all a good time.

Friday night, in the halloween tradition we rent and watch Hannibal (or try to watch - there are some scenes that are a little disturbing to say the least) All in all though good movie. I went to a friends Halloween bash, stayed sober for driving reasons but had fun - no costumes blew me away - until the party Sat night.

I loved my costume so much I went back to the vitage store to find another 70s dress - found a swirly patterned dress straight out of laugh in or something a fembot from austin powers would wear.

So we start out at a party - my friend as Britney in our old catholic grade school uniform slightly modified. We get to the party and see some awesome costumes

tiger woods - in Nike apparel, a white man with alot of face and body makeup carrying a golf club
the best was my friends brother and his friend who made an entrance - one in army fatigues, riding in a wheel chair, with a blanket over his legs and a black long wig he is being pulled by a man in a lawn tractor decked out inred suspenders and a grey sweater and an authentic bubba gump hat - it was great.

later go to my friends house who is freaking out over what to be we make her a hula girl with skirt tank and leis and head off to have a nice day cafe, a few minutes later Britney has found her self a ken doll and has attached her self to this hottie, he had a cute friend - an awesome dancer that kept me entertained - so in between dancing and drinking - they passed out free tequila shots. we had a good time - within an hour ken and britney were attached at the lips on the dance floor - so you know she had a good night.

some costumes there -

the mammpgram box, eighties prom queens from hell, nuns, doctors, the usual

Ill try to put up pics when they come in if I can go back home and use our scanner !

Have fun today Dianne

Cory-

You and KSig need to begin your autobiographies...Memoirs of a College Fraternity Man or something to this extent. Your recount of the weekend sent me back to some wild nights. But the fake breast molestation? Wow... I can only imagine how embarrased that girl is. Maybe brooklineu can help you start your own website with these crazy anecdotes. Haha.

I, along with my friends Jessica and Shelley, am going as a Barbie doll (please don't laugh!) to a party. Jessica is going as the brunette Barbie doll, Shell is going as the blonde Barbie doll (actually, she already looks like Barbie in a way), me as the asian Barbie Doll (since I'm asian anyhow).

I tried to talk my boyfriend into being Ken, but of course he said no. :( He is going as a San Francisco Giant.

Jessica, Shelley, and I already have our outfits all planned out and picked out the makeup. It's gonna be so fun to get ready! (We three are meeting at my house and are gonna make ourselves up to look just like the dolls.)

Well, I started off Sat. night as Indiana Jones (didn't get to be Hugh Hefner, long story), but no one could get who I was, so I just put on this big wig, and all of a sudden girls started talking to me. It was really really weird. Don't know if it was the fro I was wearing, or maybe the Indiana Jones thing just wasn't as attractive, but a guy whose hair covered his eyes just really made girls want to talk to me. Weird.

I'm giving the Indy costume another try tomorrow night, I put more thought into it this time. Gotta get myself a whip, couldn't find one last time. Maybe I just need kinkier friends who have that stuff on hand.

newbie
i can't think of which one it was, but didn't that happen in one of the high-school-based films? You copycat! Just joking.

pbpck
Man, I do need to write all this stuff down, if for no other reason than to laugh my ass off many years down the road and the odd events that compose my life.

Seriously?! Wow! I had no idea. When did the film come out? My friend Shelley (who's gonna be the blonde Barbie) brought it up and we all thought it was a fun idea! If you can think of the name of the film, that would be awesome. Then my friends and I can rent it and watch it together when we're getting ready and scrutinize their outfits/makeup compared to ours :D. Can you think of the name??

Newb
it's one of the she's all that, varsity blues, 10 things type of movies about the neighbors who the girl is miss popular and so she starts quasi-dating the guy who consequently becomes mr popular. Can't recall the name of the film though.

anyway.
