Actually I did order my Daphne Costume.  A friend who went as Velma bought a red skirt at some cheap random place and had it cut knee length.  Then she took white knee socks and a white button-up and dyed it orange.  She bought a chin length wig and wore glasses.  I actually took some white tights and dyed them purple to go with the costume.  Here's the one I got:

(It's a lot cuter and actually purple in person)

thanks for the info, rar210!  what a cute costume!

i have no idea!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a halloween party to go to on sunday too!  its for Big Brothers/Big Sisters and my little sister wants me to dress up as a dead cheerleader or dead bride (she's being a dead bride b/c of tim burton's corpse bride)

anyway- i want to dress PRETTY for halloween!  i was thinking i might be a pirate... *sigh* i don't know!

Some cute ideas, guys!

Well, today was our firm Halloween party and I dressed up as Pam/Pamela from Urban Cowboy.  To those of you who haven't seen UB, I'm a late '70s/early'80s cowgirl: very fitted white button down, hip-length brown cord jacket, skinny jeans tucked in to high-heeled pink cowboy boots, silver/gold chain-mail earrings, silver chain-mail necklace, straw cowboy hat.  I couldn't pull off "Sissy" from UB bec. (1) my country accent sucks and (2) can't wear shirts tied up at the waist to work.  My daughter is/was a witch fairy.

I was Grace from Will and Grace and my friend was Karen.  She looked AWESOME.  Hairpiece and everything.  She carried a martini glass and tied prescription pill bottles to her wrist.  I'm shorter than she is and although we tried to die my hair red, it didn't work AT ALL, so we sprayed it with red stuff from a can and you couldn't see it in the dark, so pretty much no one "got" me.

Being Grace Adler is hard.  At least she has an awesome wardrobe.
