Looking for Halloween Costume ideas

Every year I throw a big costume party on Halloween.

Every year I struggle with a costume.

This year is no exception.

What have you been in the past? That will give us an idea about how sick and demented you are...

One year I bought a monk's robe costume.

I mounted a 1" thick by 12" dowel rod to a belt under the robe. I rigged up a rope so that I could raise the dowel rod by reaching behind my back and pulling on the rope.

I went to a halloween party at a friend's apartment who was still in college. I was having a beer, talking to friends when three hot sisters dressed as cheerleaders showed up. I gave the rope a slow tug.

We went to one over the weekend. One of my friends is a big guy (think Chris Farley), he wore a speedo, swim cap with goggles, and a bunch of medals around his chest.

It was hilarious.

If you have the stones to pull it off, that is what I would do.

We went to a Halloween party last week. Kind of on a budget, so we decided to hit up Goodwill for costume party ideas. This is what my husband came up with for less than $20 including the false eyelashes... he made false breasts out of closed cell phone with a bolt insert to give it a "rock hard nipple". Apparently, "rock hard nipples" are really cool.

*Note: This will probably get us banned from Pelican. But for the record, the mangina thatch-patch is actually a fuzzy hat.

I went as a member of Devo two years ago. People loved it. The energy dome was the tough part, since I didn't have time to order a real one. I was super lucky and found a cake pan that is exactly the same size and shape.

I like this idea, I just may give it a go.

Now, where to find a monk's robe?

My brother went as a One Night Stand...haha. Wore a card board box done up to look like a night stand.

Me? I'm not creative. I went last year as an Abercrombie Model. I must say, it was quite a change from cowboy boots and Wranglers. Lots of compliments from girls though (on looks and clothes, not creativity).

Hang a piece of string out your pants and go as a 'pull-toy'.

Last night I went home, got out of my suit and tie and packed for a night at a friend's house about an hour away, then headed out. I saw no need to put on regular clothes, so I wore my pajamas and robe. I stopped by the dry cleaner on my way out. I like the idea of being able to wear any darned thing I want.

I might wear that some outfit and some sunglasses, and call myself Jeffrey Lebowski.

Angela, your husband is soooooooo HOT! On a related note, British comedians' use of naked and drag-dressed men has never been mysterious to me. Men look funny, that's all there is to it.

One time I got a black sweatshirt and painted a big "P" on the front. Then I got some face paint and painted a big black circle around one eye. All night long people were asking me what I was supposed to be but I didn't say. When it was late and time to go, I said "BLACK EYED PEA"!
I crack me up.

When my son gets his hair cut too short, it stands on end. Last year, he died his hair green with that temporary spray stuff then put a box over his torso. On the box he wrote, Cha Cha Cha Chia! He went as a Chia pet.

I went to Guavaween one year with a bicycle helmet on and a cardboard sign that said "party safely, wear a helmet". It wasn't much of a costume really, but apparently chicks liked it. I was approached more with the helmet and sign than at any other time.
