CONFESS!!!!! What was your oddest halloween costume!!!

[LynneSin]

About 12 years ago I went as Nicole Brown Simpson. I had my neck made up with this massive knife wound and wore a football jersey that had OJ name & # of the back.

1. When I was 11 years old, I found a big cardboard box in our neighbors' trash.

:P It was from a water heater (I think) and was the perfect size for a coffin (well, a coffin that would fit an 11-year-old kid!). The way the box had been cut, it still had a "lid", so it could close just like a coffin too. I brought it home, and I told my mom I wanted to be a coffin with a vampire in it for Halloween. She thought it was a great idea, so I got a long black dress, a gray fright wig, and vampire teeth. Mom helped me spray-paint the box black, and we cut two armholes in the sides. I entered a costume contest at the local shopping center, and I won first prize! I got a check for $25 and my picture in the newspaper (and that was in 1974). :D :bounce:

I've yet to see another kid dress up as a coffin with a vampire in it. :P

[Eurobabe]

31. I was a die (dice) when I was 11, also a box

I thought it was so cool until it fucking rained and the box disintigrated. But I still scored a shitload of candy, have the cavities to prove it! :hi:

2. Halloween Costume

I was a Toll Booth Operator..........:rofl: :hide: :hi:

[Shakespeare]

3. I was an undecided voter in 2000.

That was back when we could still laugh about elections. :-(

I wore a dunce cap, ginormous coke bottle glasses, and buttons for all of the candidates (even the whacked out third-party candidates).

4. There were 2 most memorable...

I went as a cockroach and my boyfriend went as news caster Marvin Zindler...folks in Houston will get it. We took photos of roaches in the kitchen etc.

I dressed up as a fisherman (vest, net, rod & reel, net, cap, jeans, and flannel shirt) and dressed my toddler 18mo daughter up as a mermaid with hand made sea foam green silk and sequined tale, sea shell bra attached with spirit gum, lei, sea shell barrettes, and a treasure chest candy container. She was clueless about what was going on but all the grand parents went nuts (she was so cute). And talk about loot-whole candy bars-none of those bite size bits, and she got money too. We had fun and she lasted an hour.

5. Holy Slime in the Ice Machine! nt

[MrCoffee]

6. Good golf, good tennis, or whatever makes you happy

Marvin Zindler is a great idea for a costume! Did he get the purple sunglasses? Did he refer to you as "SLIME in the ice machine!" all night?

[AnneD]

8. He had a toupee, and large blue glasses...

but the piez de resistance (sp) was the polyester black leisure suit with contrasting white stitching. He also wore a quiana shirt, white patent leather shoes, and had a microphone. The photos were so funny. There were Roaches in the kitchen, fridge, the buffet, the bar, the shower, and the suggestive photo of the roach on the bed. 'Marvin's' head and microphone were in the corner of every photo. We had so much fun doing that.

Edited to add Marvin hadn't come up with that quote yet....I was the roach in the rat and roach report.

[MrCoffee]

9. that is fan-frickin-tastic

crazy bonus points to you for supercoolness.

[AnneD]

10. Thank you...

thank you. I do like a good costume. We were the first runners up-but the winners rented-which I think is cheating.

[AllegroRondo]

35. I was an S&M drag queen one year

no, I dont have pics.

[lost-in-nj]

7. I was alot younger

probably around 10, it was a rainy Sat and our local lake association was having a halloween parade and party at the clubhouse. My 2 girlfriends and I went crazy looking for the perfect thing to wear.... well my one gf's mom sewed and she had a brazillian yards of black material so we took the material and sewed it up on the side... put eyes and a tongue on the front, got 3 dollies from her garage, went to the parade and all 3 of us climbed into the black tube got on the dollies and became a snake!!!!

We won, I don't remember what but we had a great time!!!

11. I went as a Tylenol the year all those people were killed in Chicago by doctored capsules.

One my back I had sign stating "this container has been tampered with." One of my friends added "More than ONCE!" across the bottom.



I think my FAVORITE costume, however was Sister Vir-GIN-Ya Independent Evangelist for the Church of Father Divine. I wore this gawd awful gold brocade mu-mu with gold slippers and a horrible frosted wig. I put on a huge amount of makeup (damn near needed a trowel) and a set of long fake nails. I carried around a copy of "Father Divine's Big Red Book" that was cut out in the center to hold my flask of holy water.

As I recall I got lost (on foot) a block from my house after the party that year...

12. That's just plain sick.

[Forkboy]

13. I stuck a fake chair on my head and dressed in pink to be the gum stuck on the bottom.

Ahhh...memories.

[Breeze54]

14. I was a "Killer Bee" !!

:rofl:

I used a yellow pillow case and cut leg holes in it and then used bright yellow and black
wide tape for my stripes and made a 'stinger' with wire and aluminum foil and also my antenna! :P
I used coat hangers for the wings and covered them with gauze. I had a kids machine gun and
those criss cross bullet holders too! I wore a black leotard and black tights underneath. :rofl:
It was a riot! :P My costume party was a blast that year!

[Aristus]

15. Lord Byron.

I had a very nice Empire-period costume complete with leather riding boots. I hand-wrote out "So We'll Go No More A-Roving" in calligraphy on parchment paper, and carried around rolled up in my hand. The ladies loved it. ;-)

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. A few years ago I stapled an empty plastic bread bag to my shirt and went as a loaf of bread.

I'm not big on wearing costumes.

[BarenakedLady]

17. A very simple one

and probably the last time I "dressed" up for Halloween. I was working as a secretary in a prison. People would *always* tell me to smile and it drove me crazy (I have a naturally frowny face). So that Halloween I painted a huge perma-smile onto my face. My lips were my teeth and I put big red lips around them. It came out really good actually and for once I went the whole day without anyone annoying me.

[Inchworm]

20. Classic!

Ain't there a word or term for that? umm.. pa.. passiv.. passive something er other :P

:silly:

[BarenakedLady]

22. Shaddup

:spank:

:rofl:

[Inchworm]

23. Yes ma'am!

:rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

24. That sounds kinda creepy.

:scared:

[BarenakedLady]

25. I did look creepy

But I didn't have to look at myself. :D

[Danger Mouse]

26. I think you look just fine, smiling or frowning.

:hug:

[Mojambo]

18. I went as Naked Man one year

I just attached a black cardboard dot in the appropriate regions.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. I was the Bride of Dracula for a party once, which wasn't all that odd

except that I wore my actual wedding dress, which horrified some people -- apparently much more sentimental types than I am.

[Danger Mouse]

21. In 2004 I went as Ed Gein.

I took an 'old hag' type mask, cut bits and pieces out of it to make it look patched together (disgustingly enough, it ended up looking really disturbing and convincing), and wore it in combination with a lumberjacky type shirt and my duckies.
It was a truly horrible looking costume, and I'm sure I ensured my place in Hell by even thinking of such a vile outfit, let alone wearing it.

[unpossibles]

27. I went as a Fallopian Surfer once while in college

dressed all in white - face paint too - and a long white tail, then wore surfer jams, sandals and wayfarers. I added a marathon sign to my chest that said "Fallopian Surf Team" with a big "Y" on it, and went around saying "totally tubular!" and "If it swells, ride it!"

Sadly, I had some dude ask me if I was supposed to be a ghost.

Some other favorites: disco zombie (our van wrecked on the way to Studio 54), The bee guy from the Simpsons, and a retrofuture spaceman.

[Breeze54]

28. My friend went as..."Tits on a Ritz" one year!!

:rofl:

It was a riot!! :P

She used fake 'tits' and cardboard as the crackers! :rofl:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

29. 2004. I dressed up as Aunty Sam. My skirt was homemade to look like a flag

and was full length. I wore a dark red tiny longsleeved top with VOTE 2004 writ across the upper front. Added my favorite long blond hairpiece and a R W & B jester hat complete with bells jingling. Went armed with a black magic marker and Kerry bumper stickers, stomps, and literature. Hit the local bars and Worked the rooms. Had everyone write their choice for President on my shirt, it got very full. It was the most fun I had in a costume. Even the republicans where nice to my smiling face, which hurt from smiling and laughing so much. Got alot of lit handed out and finished up what I had for stickers. Answered questions and had the best time!

The vote result? Around 50/50. I'm still shocked.

One ass wrote BUSH across my beautiful homemade skirt, me and my nieces made this item! I'll have to rip it apart and replace the stripe next time around.

[Breeze54]

30. Very cool idea!!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

;)

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

32. Thanx. My hubby took pics that night, but I'm clueless how to post them online.

[Breeze54]

34. How To: Post Your Digital Photos Online

How To: Post Your Digital Photos Online
http://www.techlearning.com/story/showArticle.php?articleID=171203042

I use a FREE account at http://www.photobucket.com

But they have to be pictures taken with a digital camera.

Do you have one of those?

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

36. We are on our second Digital, but my hubby won't help me on this.

He will not allow my pic online, heck, he will not even tolerate a stranger taking a pic of me. It's really weird, he is not protective at all, unless some guy is trying to take a photo of me. No problem if I go dancing with friends all night in the bars, just no photos!?

{He is of Polish Descent.}

[Breeze54]

39. You can do it all by yourself.

It's wicked easy! ;)

[ghostsofgiants]

33. I'm dressing as a zombie redneck tonight, which is kind of odd I think.

[mzteris]

37. the year my daughter went as a fairy godmother

I was all excited because she'd told me that *I* could be Cinderella. . .

then she sprung it on me, "No, Mommy. You have to be the BEFORE Cinderella!"

I wore an old skirt, a blouse with a tear in it, mussed up my hair, and put charcoal smudges on my face.

[tekisui]

38. A 3-legged-man.

I sewed a third pantleg, sock and shoe, and stuffed it with newspaper.

I got tired of dragging or carrying my extra leg around after awhile.
