[Faygo Kid]

5. An old fat guy who was out of control in the early '70s but grumpy now

That IS a nice outfit, and wow. Reminds me of 1974, and that third party of the night with the beautiful girl on the porch dressed as a nun who went for me, and we . . .

Um, I am not likely going as anything much this year, like the last 20. Thanks for bringing it up, though (stop it!).

[KamaAina]

6. David Vitter

I need look no further for my costume than the aisles of my nearby grocery store.

[mcscajun]

7. V

Well, actually, as I'm female and larger than Hugo Weaving, I'm going to be one of the unnamed Londoners who wore the mask and cape.

Still, I'm memorizing this speech, just because...

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

If I can get through it once on Hallowe'en, it'll just be icing on the cake, as it were.

[DarkTirade]

19. Makes me think of...

[RevolutionaryActs]

Who doesn't love Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow? Really now? :P



Plus I read a super cute book this year called "How To Catch A Pirate" just a silly little romance book, so sweet. Awwww :P

[fizzgig]

16. mmmm....johnny depp

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. I had one last year

but it made work too hard. :(

[DS1]

18. I'd have to suggest pasties

[Swede]

14. I'm gonna dress up like a Cardinal fan,and bring the rugrats.

[Evoman]

28. You should dress like a catholic Cardinal and bring the rugrats

:hide:

[Swede]

34. That ain't a bad idea.

Get more candy from some places,no so much from others.

[DarkTirade]

21. Man, it's not even september yet... :)

I haven't even thought about it. I've still got a bunch of leather left over though, I'm sure I could make something.

[Fox Mulder]

23. I'm going to go as God.

[Scooter24]

24. I think me and some friends are going as Club Kids

to our annual Halloween Block Party. Haven't decided yet.

[otherlander]

25. Maybe I can do a kind of goth-looking witch costume...

Lots of eyeliner.

[Fire Walk With Me]

26. If I were to party this year, it would be as "Republicans who ARE NOT gay or pevs".

I'll be in the diaper, haunting the men's room...

[jgraz]

36. Cool, you can share a costume with Fox Mulder

Since neither of your characters actually exist.

[Fire Walk With Me]

41. Elucidate.

Are Vitter and Craig urban legends?

[madinmaryland]

27. The state of Delaware..

:hide:

[struggle4progress]

29. I may cut my hair and shave, put on a suit and tie, grab a bible, and

then constantly shriek at everyone at the party that Halloween is a Satanist's holiday, pausing briefly at times to gobble and gulp down mouthfuls of whatever snacks the hostess provides

[DarkTirade]

32. Now THAT'S scary.

[jeff30997]

30. Hi Ava !

Glad to see you're still posting on DU.

For a month or two I was off so...

Hey I admire your work.

Your animations are great!

What soft do you use?

If I can help you just tell me,

I'm not too bad in 3d.

-Jeff

[Arkham House]

33. Babe Ruth...

...in a *Red Sox* uniform!!!...no kidding--I'm going to get a replica of the Sawx 1918 uniform...how cool is that...?

[SPKrazy]

35. no idea

not even on my radar

but will the pirate costume make you look like that too? (not that there's anything wrong with how you look now btw) :P

congrats

maybe i'll be a giant rabbit, like Harvey :P

[Whoa_Nelly]

38. Am going as Tippyi Hedren in Hitchcock's "The Birds"

A few stratgically placed stuffed craft birds on a torn and "bloodied" blouse and in my hair, and lots of thick mascara

[datasuspect]

39. i'm gonna tape some tampons to a set of handlebars

and go as a menstrual cycle.

[stuntcat]

40. just a goth tehehe!

I used to kinda dress as a witch but I felt silly doing it, my hubband just laughed at me. But I decorate the porch with nice spiders and bats and I light some candles and wear extra make-up :headbang: Halloween's my favorite.. the dressing up, the scary decorations.. Christmas is silly compared.

[DarkTirade]

44. You sound like a friend of mine. :)

As much as she likes decorating for the holidays, Christmas is always second to Halloween to her. :)

[nickgutierrez]

42. George W. Bush during Vietnam.

I'm gonna be so drunk, I'll disappear until it's all over.

[Left Is Write]

43. I'm going as a pirate also.

I bought this bodice:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200041518696

I bought a chemise from a seamstress, and I have some awesome black leather boots that will look good as pirate boots. All I need now is a pair of pirate pants or some skirts. I've got lots of pirate jewelry and scarves too.

[KitchenWitch]

45. I am going as a Hawaiian Princess' mom.

[TheProphetess]

46. Is that Elizabeth from Pirates of the Carribean?

My goddaughter wants desperately to go as Elizabeth this year (she is 10 1/2 years old and obsessed with the Pirates movies!).

I will likely dress up as a vampire or a witch. I'm old school like that. :hi:

[Bennyboy]

47. I am going to put some peanut butter around my lips.....

and go as an asshole!

[Omphaloskepsis]

48. The first dude to crash the party and the last person to leave....

That is how I roll.

[asthmaticeog]

49. I've thought about this a lot, and I've noticed a gender disparity.

A great many costumes for women are "sexy," but NO costumes for meb are "sexy." There's "Sexy Nurse," "Sexy Maid," "Sexy Pirate," "Sexy blah blah blah."

So I've decided that in solidarity, this year, I'm going to be "Sexy Hitler." :patriot:

[EstimatedProphet]

50. Springtime for Hitler and Germaaany!

[cascadiance]

52. If Al Gore really gets in the race before the end of October...

... I think I need to pay homage to him as a superhero coming to our rescue!

Using the video clip of him as the "Green Solution" from this site:

http://www.challengeofthesuperduperfriends.com/



I'd like to try and put together a costume like that. I was thinking of trying to find a Green Lantern costume and deck it up a bit with a mask and logo, etc. but there doesn't seem to be too many adult sizes...



I found one "custom spandex" site that already has a packaged "Green Lantern" costume, but it seems a bit pricey, and probably has stuff on it that I don't need. I wrote a letter to them saying that perhaps if they "bulk-made" some costumes like the "Green Solution" complete with logo and mask that we might give them a lot of business. Perhaps if a few others here wrote them, we might be able to get this to happen!

And I suppose if you have another pol you're pulling for in this election, here are some other costumes you might want to try and get as your "super hero"...

John Edwards...



Barak Obama...



Hillary Clinton...



Sorry, it looks like Dennis K. isn't in this one!

[Kutjara]

53. The usual.

Not turning up and saying I went as the Invisible Man.

[Critters2]

54. First, I'll need an actual place to go to.

And then, I'll go as a middle-aged Midwestern clergywoman with leftish political, social, and theological leanings. No one will know it's me!

[MrScorpio]

55. A poet

I'm thinking either Frost or Longfellow

[candycom]

56. HeeHee

Me and my hubby are going to Estes Park the weekend prior to halloween for the Annual Shining Ball at the Stanley Hotel, where the Shining was filmed. I CANT WAIT! I think I 'm going to go as Arwen from Lord of the rings because they said it was an "upscale event" what ever that mean so I'm guessing they just dont want you dresssnig like a slut! LOL I found a good one though!! Otherwise I was thinking of going as a jesture. LOL

[Initech]

57. I was thinking of going as Mrs. Featherbottom from Arrested Development
