Costume - IPOD on the line!!!!
 

Okay, my halloween costume contest is approaching and I still don't have a really kick ass idea . . . HELP! A mini ipod is up for grabs and god knows I want it!

The "Murdered Prom Queen" went over really well the year I did it. I had on this poufy, heinous prom dress that my sister had in the 80s, and I put lots of makeup on to make my face look really pale and lifeless. Underneath my eyes I put purple shadow so they looked really creepy, and I applied some of that fake blood across my throat so that it kind of ran down my neck a little. You can also go the extra mile and wear a dead corsage (my winter dance one from high school worked nicely), and make sure your hair is all messed up--for a bonus point, add some leaves--to make it look like you were drug out in the woods or something. Don't forget your "prom queen" sash. Trust me, everybody loved the costume...I might break it out again this year.

That's good, but i forgot to mention I'm doing it with a friend . . . so anything that involves two is good . . .

Puhlease people - i'm looking for current events, funny, smart -- you get the drift . . . i'll share the ipod with you if i win.

Did this one time! Won the Prize!:)

Old song, Jolly Green Giant and The Amazon. Both painted, She wore a Bone in her hair and we had skimpy Togas on..

First bone when went to get it, the butcher cut it up thinking it was for Soup. DA! Moron. Was a close call to get it for Her hair.:eek:

Oh, use washable paint, is fun to get in shower and get clean!:D

Ah, the good old days!:)

last yrs costume
 

I had this really hideous lime and sparkle green tulle formal and it was just UGLY!

I cut up past my knees and cut stripes into it. Then i dyed satin white isotoner slipers to yellow and put on a pom on each slipper and found some nylon lavender fairy wings and a yellow wig and went as TINKERBELL

this was, i think, 3 years ago....i was "diva smurfette"....blue grease body paint everywhere. last year i was a "pre-ben j-lo" and the then bf was p. diddy. :D this year, betty boop. smurfette was probably my fave, though, b/c me and my date papa smurf got the best reactions. that year, one of my sisters and her date came dressed in all black, with a black circle around one eye and a bright green "p" on their shirts....yep, they were "black eyed p's"....

The three amigos- just break into "my little buttercup" whenever anyone asks who you are.

a pregnant nun. One of my sister did it one year, it went over quite well. Not sure who you could pair it up with.... whoever would sleep with a nun I guess......

A priest! :p

I'm being a Bush twin.

OMG!! lol

BlazerCheer went to a party as a Halloween table and won $50!

She got a 4x4 piece of strong cardboard and cut a hole for her head. Then she set the table with 4 settings of Halloween partyware--plates, napkins, forks, and cups--that she glued to the table. Finally she painted her face like a pumpkin and stuck it through the middle to be the centerpiece!

Those were some good ones . . .

My friend and I were thinking of going as trick or treat.

She being trick - dressing a little . . . skanky.

And me being treat - with candy all over my outfit.

Thoughts? I need more ideas!

My best costume was in 3rd grade.....I dressed as RoboCop...vinyl outfits aren't that bad. :p

My friend and I did a conjoined twin ghost one year - we'd committed mutual suicide because we'd fallen in love with the same man. Isn't very condusive to walking around on your own, though!

I saw a picture of a couple once - the guy was dressed as a salesman (suit, fedora, briefcase) and the woman was dressed as the Grim Reaper. They were "Death and a Salesman". :)

I like your trick or treat idea, though!

That puts my pregnant Mouseketeer to shame! My roomie & I both wore the old fashioned Mouseketeer costumes, only pregnant, with "Done by Disney" on the back.

I no longer celebrate Halloween, however.

Not mine -- but my sophomore year, I saw two guys walking around wearing all orange, yarmulkes and Stars of David necklaces. We were staring at them for a good ten minutes trying to figure out what they were ("Jewish prisoners on work release?") until finally my friend just went over and asked them. He came back to us chuckling and said, "They're orange Jews." (If you don't get it, say it out loud.)

On the "punny" costumes note, my best friend told me that for Halloween I should get three other people together and make tee shirts that say "I hate Nick" on them . . . so we can be "4 Nick-haters."


Some of my guy friends last year were the Jamaican bobsled team.

I forget where I read this, but some guy went with nearly nothing on, filled his mouth (cheeks) with mashed potatoes and when someone asked what he was, he smacked both cheeks, spitting out the potatoes and said:

"Like man, I'm a pimple."

OK, I'll go back to my little room, now.

A guy I saw on State Street last year was a shower. And if you wanted to make out with him he could just draw the shower curtain around you.

The year before that, I saw a spoon. I don't know why, but I still think that's a hilarious costume. And, of course, it got all the ladies because everybody wanted to spoon with the spoon.

Another idea:
Super Troopers: "Meow sir, do you know why I pulled you over?"

The best costume I saw ever was Zoolander and Hansel. These two boys in my house looked like the characters, so it worked really well. They sewed their costumes exactly like the characters wore in the movie, and did a walk-off at the party we went to. The best part was they were gymnasts and could do the break-dancing and wall flips that the actors hire stunt men for. lol. Honestly, I never laughed so hard in my life.

That zoolander thing is hysterical!!!!

This one guy at my school walked around as a football player with his fly undone and put a balloon there with a wig . . .you get the idea. Not very tasteful, but funny.

I think that's from Animal House. The quote in the movie was, "I'm a zit!" (If I remember correctly).

That would be hard to do at a party. You'd have to keep on eating mashed potatoes all evening!

Luke and Princess Leia? My brother and I did that one year when we went to a party.

ALL the guys like my cinnamon buns!

well i'm paired with another girl . .. so . ..

what about Barbara and Jenna Bush?

Ashlee and Jessica Simpson?

ANy other good ones?

no idea for the pairs thing (but how exactly are you going to dress up as the bush twins? they're just normal girls).

Two ideas, both probably more for guys... a friend sent me pics of these yesterday, sorry I can't post them now b/c i'm at work:

One was a priest, with a little boy doll (one with long arms) wrapped around his waist so the head is you know where

The other was a mammogram machine... the place to insert the breast was right over his face.

Both are funny. Though some might find them offensive

last year my fraternity formal was on nov 1 in vegas, so we all arrived on halloween and dressed up with or dates. i was a boyscot pimp and my date was a girlscout hoe. looked good together, but i just looked like a fucked up boyscout when she wasnt standing next to me.

How about Romy and Michelle (from their high school reunion?) Or Thelma and Louise? Two of the characters from Chicago? There's always the Rocky Horror Picture show. Funny movies are generally better, the characters are more memorable.
