argh! Hallowe'en
Permalink Closed


I told myself I was too busy to get excited about Hallowe'en this year. But I've gotten an invite to a party that I really want to go to on Saturday night.


What kind of costume can I whip up at a moments notice?


I'm pretty "known" amongst our group of friends for having good costumes. I can recycle my Chicken costume (white sweats with feather sewn on, very funny, from 2 years ago) since most of these friends haven't seen it, but I was hoping to be something a little sexier. I have lots of different clothes and wigs (long blonde, pixie, long with blunt bangs, dreadlocks) so I could probably get something togeather easily - I just have no ideas. help!

Someone here said they were Miss Piggy.  Was that you?  You could wear your blonde wig, any shiny dress you have (or go to goodwill and get a gaudy bridesmaid dress), wear pearls, a boa, opera gloves, and a pig nose.

Here are some favorites from "The Halloween Handbook":



  • Wear roller skates, devil horns and a tail to become Hell on Wheels.



  • Artsy? Pose as Frida Kahlo, hair slicked back and braided, a uni-brow across your forehead, a fringed or flowered shawl around the shoulders.



  • A group of four could dress as the cast of "I Love Lucy" -- full-skirt dresses with aprons for the women, utilitarian uniforms for the men.



  • Give yourself a white moostache and paint "Got Milk" on a T-shirt.



  • Dress as a city -- an inside-out umbrella, a Cubs T-shirt and a Chicago newspaper under one arm could depict the Windy City.



  • The Sporting Life chapter recommends a golfer in bad plaid pants, an ice skater, or a 1980s aerobics instructor complete with high-cut leotard, leg warmers, wristbands and iridescent tights.



  • Share a six-pack with friends. Replicate beer-can logos on corrugated cardboard, wrap one around each person, pair up and travel in six-pack formation.



  • Wrap up in a gray, black or dingy blanket. Wear a rubber pig nose. Add a pink tail made from yarn or a pipe cleaner and you're a pig in a blanket.
