Costume for Costume Party
 

My roommates and I are havign a costume party at our house for Halloween in a couple weeks and I need suggestions for costumes.. I'll post my whole list of suggestions tomorrow (I'm on my way to bed), but the most popular I've gotten so far are SpongeBob, a pack of marlboros (??? I don't know, but I do actually think it'd be funny), Monica Lewinsky, Rainbow Bright, Piglet, and Mimi from Drew Carey.... Thoughts? Suggestions?

Hershey's Kiss
Black out your eyes and paint a p on your shirt (Black eyed Pea)
Greek Goddess

A few years ago, my husband and I went to a costume party as the Men in Black (ok, A Man and A Woman in Black, whatever :) ). This one's easy - you just wear a black suit, black shirt, and sunglasses. I also got one of those little keychain lights and put a red bulb in it. People might not get it, though, unless you can recruit a partner.

"The Avengers" movie had recently come out (which sucked - I'm sorry, there's only one Mrs. Peel, and that's Diana Rigg, but that's a rant for another day :) ). Another couple came to the costume party dressed as Mr. Steed and Mrs. Peel. Suit, bowler hat, and rolled umbrella for him; catsuit for her. But I think people only got that because the movie had just come out.

The Hershey's kiss is a cute idea....

The black eyed Pea is hilarious!!!!! I'm all about cute/funny costumes like that...LOL For example, one of my friends might dress up in all black and just make up his hand with like a cast and a spiked bracelet and a ring...and be Dr. Claw from inspector gadget!!! LOL

Thanks for the idea, keep em coming!

I was Monica Lewinski a few years ago and it turned out to be a GREAt costume :)

Another great one I saw, and this might be fishing back a ways, is to be Mary, from Theres Something About Mary, you know the hair gel scene LOL

One idea I have for this year is to be something tacky, I haven't had a "fun" costume in a while, one of my friends suggested a she devil, he seems to think it fits my personality. A few of the girls at the house have also suggested an angel.

Have fun with whatever you decide to dress up as :)

She Devil is one a lot of people suggested for me (around here).. Also, Grim Reaper, the Scream mask, and a fallen angel.. Seems as though I seem deathly to people?? :confused:

The Whole List
 

As promised, now that I'm not on my way to bed, here is the complete list of suggestions I've gotten so far:

Gumball Machine (complex, but would be cute)
Salt & Pepper (my best friend would be salt)
Romeo & Juliet (friend would be romeo)
Monica Lewinsky
Fallen Angel
Punk Rock Kid
Raggedy Anne & Andy (w/ best friend..)
SpongeBob
Pack of Marlboros
Mimi (From Drew Carey)
Dr. (I already have scrubs)
Woodstock (the birdy from Snoopy)
Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland
Rainbow Bright
Punky Brewster
Piglet
Betty Boop
and She Devil

Those don't include what are being suggested here :) But now you know what I'm already looking at ... if you have anything cuter/funnier to suggest, please do, otherwise...which do you like from that list?

i work at a fabric store and the most popular female costume has been Tinkerbell. Find a green sparkly material or dress and cut the bottom and buy wings

You could go as chewbacca and have a guy go as Raggedy
Andy

(old Southpark reference)

I like...

punky brewster
dominitrix (sp?)
princess
french maid
pumpkin
country hill billy chick
belle
cinderella
mermaid
playboy bunny or just bunny
kitty cat

I thought of another one - Anna Nicole Smith

The best part is, the drunker the get, the more you get in character :)

I want a costume that is sort of cute and sexy, but original (read... no devil, french maid, nurse, etc). Any ideas?

I want it to be really cool b/c I may be in Vegas and you know it will be out-of-control there!

I was actually lobbying towards Punky Brewster, but I found out that one of my roommates is going to be that...but that's ok because she totally looks like her and she has the dog and everything, so yeah....Maybe I could be Cherry? LOL

There was a thread about halloween costumes a little bit ago. It might have more ideas for you. Hope that helps.

I've always wanted to go as Marilyn Monroe but haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Last year I found the perfect dress but I wasn't blonde enough. This year, my hair is too short and I am no longer blonde enough.

If you're too skinny to pull off Marilyn, there's always the whole Audrey Hepburn thing -- as in Breakfast at Tiffany's. You could even carry around a cat.

You can dress up as me! :D

Wear a sign around your body that covers your chest-- have it say censored! wear some beads with the sign.
Be a rock star couple
Pam and Kid Rock
Sonny and Cher
You could go as Christina aguilera
Some people are really into halloween, I never have been.
why are HOOTERS t-shirts so popular to wear as a halloween costume?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You slay me, girl!!!!

Last year I was a 70's porn star (made up my own name too-Diva St. Claire) complete with glittery platform shoes that I made and a massive fro like wig that actually matches my natural hair color.

This year........it's Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. complete with the thigh-holsters and guns.

I heard a story bout a guy who showed up at a party just wearing his pants. When asked what he was he said he was a premature ejaculation, he came in his pants!:eek: :D :rolleyes:

LOL...I did something kind of like that (not sexual though)... I was y oung and it freaked people out because of my age... I went trick or treating just wearing like normal clothes...jeans, sneakers, a hoody...and whenever anyone asked me what I was I would respond with a coupletely straight face and monotone voice, saying "I'm a homicidal maniac, they look just like everyone else.".. Not exactly the most humorous, but being only like 11 it really did freak people out.... Don't even ask where I came up with the idea, I'm not sure.

It's from the Adamms Family movie... Wednesday says it, I think.

My boyfriend used to go in his regular clothes and says his costume is "the one no one suspects"

A good couple suggestion is Brad and Janet from Rocky Horror Picture Show

I think my boy and I are going to go as ravers. Lots of body glitter, glow sticks, etc ;)

OH! SaraKT, where are you getting the holsters???? I LOVE this idea, and could actually pull it off..... Such a good idea!

The more and more I think about it, the more and more the Black Eyed Pea thing is SO funny... I might end up doing that... hehehe

Hubby and I are going to a party as Jeannie and Major Nelson. I actually bought a harem girl costume at Frederick's and he's borrowing a friend's Air Force uniform. Should be fun :)

We just had Halloween grub and one of my sisters went as Audrey Hepburn- she looked beautiful.
Other suggestions: one sister got her boyfriend to wear a number 1- she cut out posterboard in the shape of a one and draped it over his shoulders. (#1 on both sides) She wore a big night table with an alarm clock, etc. They were a one night stand!! It was really cute but a lot of work and they couldn't dance in the costumes.
Another sister wore a hooters girl outfit. Her date was dressed like a present and had a card attached to him that said To:Women From: God. He was god's gift to women and she was god's gift to men. Very cute!!

I'm either making the holsters or one of my friends does security work and can get me the real deal. I'll still have to get toy gun to carry around. I doubt I could get away with carrying real unloaded pistols around. If ya want to know how to make them I can tell ya just PM me! There's really not a whole lot to that costume. All my guy friends are freaking out over tha fact that I'm dressing up like that.

I've heard about the "God's gift to women" costume before. One of my friends is doing that this year, except he's putting a huge RETURN TO SENDER sticker on the front. :eek: I thought that was just too funny.
Another friend of mine is going as "Thuperman" Superman's cousin. He's making a t-shirt with a big "TH" on the chest and wearing short shorts, a little tank top, a purple velvet cape and carrying around a picture of Christopher Lowell and a book of fabric swatches. Because "He decorates with accent colors and thow pillows in a single bound!" I nearly died when he told me about that one.
Yet another friend of mine is going as a pissed off Oompa Loompa, he got fired because he had a growth spurt.:rolleyes:

One of my girlfriends is going as "Queen of the F'ing Universe" I don't know quite know how she's gonna pull that one off. ;)

That's my costume! well, minus the cat. I think PETA would be up my a** if I brought a cat to some of the halloween parties I've been too (i.e., noise, smoke, crowds).

it's not too hard - you need a long solid black dress w/o sleeves and black heels. if you're in a sorority you most likely already have that and that's the main expense.

then round black sunglasses (i.e. Jackie Kennedy style), a cigarette holder, black elbow length gloves, and LOTS of costume jewelry. I have a some great necklaces from my grandmother - rhinestones and pearls - i just wear 5 or 6 necklaces at once so they all stack up. then put my hair up and i bobby pin a small pearl brooch in the front.

here's some pictures from one of those poster websites...scroll down and you can see some from the movie.

my roommate and her sister are going as butterflies. they bought those white wings that are sold for angel costumes, cut off the fluffy "feather" border, and painted them with glitter glue. then they made headbands and attached antennae w/pipe cleaners and little styrofoam balls covered w/more glitter. they're going to wear black pants, black halter tops, and lots of fun glittery makeup, really doing up the eyes. looks *really* cute.
