Mission Critical

Four days from now we'll be dressing up for L's annual Halloween debauchery bash. This party definitely attracts the creative sort (one dude came as a diorama one year and another in all black, including blackface and hands, as the ipod shadow) and I am starting to panic over the fact that I still don't have a costume (let alone a "couple" of costumes) picked out. Maybe it's the triple cafe latte talking, but I hate saving these things for the last minute.

I'd rather not pop holes in my favorite white sheets and go as ghosts, because then Betty Davis will roll her sexy, sexy eyes at me and B will whine about how hot he is under there all night. Plus, ghosts lack a pie-hole.

Here's where you and all your creative juices come in:

Costume suggestions needed!

If I choose your suggestion, you win a prize. A good one. For real.


Like these would be great.
If I had any fabric. Or sewing skills.
And if they were properly ventilated with a high-end fanning system underneath as well as with a hole in which to insert cookies.
SEE THE DILEMMA?!

no 'pie hole' in these either, i suspect.

and freaking out...really? It's a costume. It's supposed to be fun.

I think "Betty" should be happy you're there at all, but what do I know.

I think those are chairs dressed up, I don't think there are people inside.

I'm not being helpful, but how can I follow Debbie Downer?

I went once as a Girls Gone Wild Commercial. I had a tan tank top on, a sparkly shirt pulled up and pinned, and a black cardboard box taped over my boobs. I walked into the room and yelled obnoxiously a lot. Also I wore Mardi Gras beads and drank a lot. Easy, cheap costume.

Two years ago, I went out with my friend as Slash and Axl. He wore a top hat, sunglasses, black jeans, and a CBGB's tshirt, and carried a bottle of Jack Daniels, while I wore a long red wig with a bandanna, a black tshirt under a red flannel shirt, and ripped jeans. Neither of us had to make anything.

How about instead of making it a full complete costume, you carry around a puppet sized version of the Yip-yip-yip monsters? Or even the Sesame street Honkers?

I love those yip yip monsters. They were my faves on SS! Not great as a costume, though. Agreed.
Hmmm....girls gone wild sounds...interesting. You could get plastered and say its just part of the get-up. Your guy could be Joe Francis in black and white jail stripes, following you around with a video camera and some beers.
I'm sticking with my standard... black kitty cat with cute ear headband, fake lashes and tight black leotard.
The two-year-old is going as a monkey-pilot.
I'm sure I've been of no help. My appologies.
