KC, as a catmomma of three, I find your costume brilliant and horrifying, and I feel the need to cover you with a paper towel.

kinda late but had to add because i don’t feel i ever got enough credit for my cat hairball costume. i used to work at an animal hospital. i hot glued fake hair, string, q-tips, plastic mice, plant leaves, etc. to a black sweatsuit. Then i teased the shit out of my hair and painted my face like vomit. it was hideous!

My department at work decided to do a Birds and the Bees theme. I decided to be a little more creative and go as a Zom-Bee, which means I wore yellow and black stripped tights a yellow t-shirt with Bee wings on the back and then pained my face like a disgusting bloody undead mess…. Zom-bee!

I went as a moogle from the Final Fantasy games: I wore a pair of angel wings, and made the little red antenna thing with a headband, a pipecleaner, and a fuzzy red ball.

@theorchardthief:

That would be perfect. In real life, I would like one cardigan with embroidered symbols of every holiday. That would make my ironic seasonal cardigan wearing so much easier.

@bellacoker: That is perfect. Or you could wear the cardigan the nurse had on yesterday when I went to the dr. – an embroidered “all thing Halloween” cardigan, including candy corn, pumpkins, Fall leaves, etc. LOL

I going as a stereotypical librarian. There are a lot of pieces involved, so I’m going to make a list for ya’.
Sensible shoes
Purple ankle socks
Panty hose that are too dark
A long skirt that sits too high
A cardigan
4 brooches including a crocheted Christmas wreath and a Barack Obama pin
Glasses on a chain
Grey spray hair
A really high, tight bun w/ a pen sticking out of it

I am a librarian, so this is all constructed out of things I had already. There is one thing missing that would have made it perfect and I’m really sad that I don’t have, an embroidered kitten cardigan.

I’m going as Medusa. I have a 3 year Hallowe’en cycle which consists of: (1st year) a very elaborate costume focusing mostly on the fact that my hair can do things most people’s cannot and resulting in posing for pictures with various strangers, followed by (2d year) bemoaning Slutoween far and wide and refusing to participate in the holiday at all, and then (3d year) half-assing a costume that takes no effort (last year: drew backwards B on my face with lipliner and went as a crazy McCain volunteer). By the end of the cycle I miss the fun of dressing up and am ready to plot out a good costume.

Because I’m putting effort in, I basically RSVP’d to every party I was invited to this year. I’m taking this show on the road!

Okay, this year I copped out. I found a glow-in-the-dark t-shirt of a skeleton torso carrying a baby skeleton. Since I’m pretty pregnant, it works. And it’s comfy and easy.

It totally creeps out my husband, but I love it. Our 15-month-old son is going as a knight, in tunic, cuffs, and belt. He’s just missing the page-boy haircut.
