What is your costume this year?

Topics: costumes, halloween
It could be just me, but I find most of the costumes are too sexy nowadays. I tried several stores, online or in person, but just couldn't find anything. What's your choice of costume this year?

Rob and I went to a party with the kids last night and had to get "family friendly" costumes... it wasn't easy!
But we ended up being Zombie Prom King and Zombie Prom Queen and we were a hit! (Rob picked them out from the local Halloween shop.)
I took a picture of myself in the car (with my phone) so you can see the makeup and hair. There's a black tiara too but you can't see it in this pic. I just posted it at the bottom of my blog home page if you want to see it. www.beamingbalance.com
I'll post more pics of the two of us on the blog next week. -
Great makeup Charlene! I want to see more and can't wait.
I've been wearing the same old witch costume for years and it's getting boring. -
The other great "stand-by" costume we've done a bunch of times is to dress up as TACKY TOURISTS.
We use red blush on our faces except for white around our eyes.. to look like we got a sunburn with sunglasses on. We wear tacky hats, tacky Hawaiian shirts; Rob wears plaid shorts, black socks and sandals. We wear binoculars and cameras and go around the party asking people to take our picture; and we carry maps and ask for directions. You get the idea...
We've probably done this five times in 12 years and it's always a hoot. -
Black socks and sandals...classic! lol
That was a great idea. I don't have plaid shorts, but can probably find them in stores. Thanks! -
I am going to be a Michael Jackson this year. This will be my tribute to the king of pop!-
just stay away from open flame...
-
-
I think that will be a very popular one this year. Do you have moves to go with the costume?
-
I agree - everything is a "slutty ____", nothing creative at all. I'm going as the second amendment... so I bought a fur coat and cut the arms off. I'll be wear the arms, so I'll be the right to "bear arms". -
lol! what about the rest of your body? You just inspired me to do the opposite - wear the vest and 'bare the arms.'
-
I am going to be a cosmetic surgeon...do you want to be my first patient?-
lol! how much do you charge for a facelift?

I have an old "On Air" radio hat that a fan gave me back in my radio days. So I'm going to wear that with some ghoulish makeup, put some scary songs and sounds on my iPod, attach little speakers to it and be a spook-tacular DJ. - Mary-Lynn-
sounds like a good idea!

I'm planning on being be the Keystone Light 32-pack Spartan. The only downside is that I'm not one for arts and crafts, but where there's a will, there's a way.-
how about hang 32 empty ones on your body?
-
I think that's even harder to pull of than the Spartan outfit.

My kids are going to be a pirate, a caveman, and a princess. I'm usually the good witch who hands out candy.
... but I never thought about being the slutty witch... Thanks for the tip!
-
want to be careful if you're going to be handing out candies to little kids...

I'm going to dress up as a short, highly neurotic, somewhat overweight, post-middle-age, urban male. Fortunately, I already have the costume for that.-
is that the equivalent of "i'll go as me since that's scary enough" way of dressing up? but we do that 364 days a year.
-
Sarah09: Yeah, that's pretty much it. Was I that obvious?
-
only because i used to say that.
now i want to be someone i'm not, and most costumes out there are too sexy. (i know, there's no such thing from a male perspective.) -
I didn't mention that I have low self-esteem. I ALWAYS want to be someone I'm not. I would try it were it not for my guilt feelings. I know I'd end up feeling terribly sorry for the person I'm being.
And, yes, you're right. From a male perspective, there is no such thing as too sexy. And if you do decide to go the très sexy route, pictures on your blog might be a nice touch. I'm just saying. -
no guilt needed, just have some fun one day a year.
pictures on my blog? i don't know. i don't want to scare my readers. -
Fun? In addition to my many neuroses, my low self-esteem and my guilt feelings, I forgot to mention that I think I suffer from anhedonia (the inability to experience pleasure). Am I turning you on yet?
-
in that case you fit in nicely with the rest of us - all combined.

I won't be dressing up for Halloween but my daughters will be Harry Potter Harmione. I bought their costumes online which is fairly cheap since they are kids.-
if you have a long black dress all you need is a witch hat to go trick o'treating with your daughter.

french transvestite..-
will there be ruffle shirts and tights?

Unemployed cyborg Urban Ninja, who likes ginger ale and gives Pez to children. It's basically just me wearing a hoodie, and holding my pants up with extension cord while drinking an unidentified beverage.-
extension cord to hold up your pants...lol!
-
-
I may shave all facial hair but mustache, wear a hoody and mirror shades, and carry a pipe around.
Would you get it?-
that's difficult...who would that be?
-
unabomber! (just got it)

Gee ... I am looking at the brand new telescope sitting next to the desk. It was a gift to my brother and when he didn't know how to make it work, it was given to my husband. It is still sitting here. Perhaps I can set it up in the stairwell and I can pretend to be an astronomer ? Of course while I hand out candies to the revelers and tell them they are from outer space.-
or a tin foil hat and tell them you are from outer space...

We were watching that movie and when my husband went to do something, we paused the DVD. In the interim, I made three aluminum hats and when he returned to the room, my Mother was sitting in her chair, I was on the sofa and we were both wearing the protection. Instead of laughing, Joe put his hat on and hit the play button. then we all burst into hoots and howls of mirth. A great memory.

My costume this year will be, "Stay-at-home Dad" -

-
A movie quality replica of the Boba Fett armor (been working on this damn thing for 3 years now). It should be ready by this weekend once the last bit of paint dries.-
watch out walking in the dark.

remember a lady in a drawing with curlers on her head, big slipper on her feet, holding a cup of coffee and her night gown says 'i don't do mornings'? that would be great for 'stay at home dad' costume.
-
Tehehe it soooooo would be
-
Last time I dressed up, none of the kids would come to the door for treats. Luckily my neighbor was here and would take the bowl to the kids and the end of the driveway. -
with the kids, frumpy witch. After they're tucked in, Naughty Nun
