<p>It's almost Halloween weekend, and I still don't have a costume. I don't want something too expensive or something with too much makeup. Can we throw ideas around here? </p>
<p>I want to think of some iconic character, like Chaplin's Tramp or Groucho Marx.</p>
<p>Well, my cheapest costume was Princess Leia- I put my hair up in cinnamon buns, wore my 8th grade graduation gown with a gold ribbon tied at the waist. . .and presto!!! </p>
<p>But I'm thinking OP is a guy. . . go to a thrift store like Amvets or Salvation Army- sooo much fun, and there's some usually some interesting and cheap stuff. That's where I get most of my costume's for my roles in our school's musicals. </p>
<p>Since I'm in Cinderella this year (Ensemble), I think I'll wear my ball gown from the show, or even my renaissance peasant costume. . . since I already have those. Or I could always wear my hooker costume from the Temple scene of Jesus Christ Superstar (last year's show). :)</p>
<p>go with a buddy to an army/navy surplus store, or any thrift store, buy jumpsuits, and aviators...BAM, you guys are Maverick and Goose from Top Gun.</p>
<p>Even easier than that, get a volleyball, some grey sweatpants, and ace bandage and you can go as Slider from the volleyball scene.</p>
<p>Two years ago I was a Pepsi can. I made a logo with construction paper and glued it onto two blue posterboards, and I painted on the nutrition facts. Then I curved and taped the posterboards together to make a cylinder and put foil around the top. Probably my best idea - usually I just wear black and put a bunch of fake blood on my face.</p>
<p>Does anyone have one that I could make in a couple of minutes, or so? I'm going to a party tonight, so I don't want it to be stupid, or hinder me physically, so a pepsi can is out...lol.</p>
