<p>What are some good costume ideas? A good costume is the combination of cheap, clever and hilarity. What have you guys done in the past? Any pictures?</p>
<p>I was Larry the Cable guy for Halloween last year. The costume of the hour was "pimp" last year. I am no longer in college, but Halloween is a party I cannot miss. I might go out as Anna Nicole Smith this year.</p>
<p>If you go out as Anna Nicole Smith, we better see some pictures lol :D</p>
<p>For Halloween, I always seemed to do the same thing. I was an angel when I was younger. Then I tried to be a headless person...completely original, then backfired. Then I was a witch a couple times. Last year, I was an Egyptian mummy...my best costumes I think. I got a lot of compliments on it. You can get it at Spencers if they still sell it. Though I bought mine 2 years ago.</p>
<p>Throw a sheet over your head with cutouts for eyeholes...very original. The good thing...you can whip the costume on and off in a blink of an eye-and seriously confuse some people!!!</p>
<p>This year I'm going to use one of my recital costumes; I might be a flamenco dancer. I always thought that the outfits in the '20s (flapper, zoot suits, etc) were good costumes. If you want an inexpensive costume, you can go and get it at Spencer's (at the mall), they have pretty good costumes. A funny costume idea would be if you dressed up as one of the people from Family Guy, atleast I would laugh... and also no one is ever too old to dress up for Halloween.</p>
<p>buy some luiminating contact lenses and let people think you're the devil.</p>
<p>Here are two costumes I've used (I made both of them, didn't buy a thing... except for the second costume I bought something)</p>
<p>1.) Washington Post Man.</p>
<p>Yes, as ridiculous and stupid as it seems, I was "Washington Post Man" one year. I basically made a big suit out of washington post newspapers. Good thing it was cold Halloween.</p>
<p>2.) Samurai</p>
<p>Unfortunately, putting together this costume is fairly expensive. I basically had a thick red and gold kimono, a very dark hakama (the skirt/pants thing), the split toe socks, the flip flops, and a wooden katana.</p>
<p>Many years ago, a couple, who were friends of my husband, wore the following coustumes:</p>
<p>-- wife was a "brick"
-- husband was a "brick layer"</p>
<p>ew thats sick why do you teach these children this stuff</p>
<p>When I was like 9, me and my friends went out as The Dead Spice Girls. I was the blonde one and we smeared fake blood everywhere with black raccoon eyes, short skirts and knee high platform boots and black fishnet stockings and tight metallic tops. These grannys were like, "oh dear, what are you youngies supposed to be? dead strippers?" and we were all just smiling widely, "no we are the dead spice girls!"</p>
<p>Mimi from the Drew Carey show would be fun! Lots of pretty eye makeup!</p>

OMG I went shopping just hours before and there was this very obese woman, about aged 40, and she was wearing and long flowing green boho skirt with sequences and beads, and her she had a short ponytail at the top of her head, and she was wearing bright blue eyeshadow and bright red blush (like smothered all around her face, not only on her cheeks.. I thought she had rosacea or something) and a plum red lipstick drawn OUTSIDE her lipline to make her lips look more 'full' but it just looked so fake. And she was wearing all these bracelts on her big big wrists and she was holding this massive SHOCKING PINK bag which had pictures of naked muscly men on them.
And then she gave this horredus laugh like HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!! (who the hell says HO HO HO???) And everyone looked at her.. and she was loving the attention.
And I thought she resembled to that big woman on the drew carey show.</p>
