Plan B Forum

Anyone else going to a costume party?

Damned if I know what I'm going as. Liz says she has a costume planned, but won't tell me what.

(The last time she did this, she was Harley Quinn.)

I out grew Holloween when I was 10.

Well, last year the roomies and I consolidated all our Halloween decorations and the effect was outstanding.
This year since Halloween is gong to be on a Monday, we're beginning a plan to extend the decorations into a 'Haunted Graveyard' in the backyard, that we'll open to public all weekend. The coup de grâce will be sealing up the carport with sheets and turning it into a strobe light room!

I always liked the "using a famous painting as a costume" premise for a costume.

You could be the Mona Lisa ...

That's me sorted, now to find one for Hen...

I'm sincerely hoping you don't have the boobs for that outfit. That's a picture I don't want to entertain in my head.

Won't be going to a costume party per se but the main drag in the gay village is always closed to traffic and it becomes a big street party. I'm thinking of going as a bag of jelly beans - a clear plastic trash bag with holes for my arms and legs, gathered at my neck and stuffed with multicoloured balloons.

My response is the same as your second sentence!

I was a wizard.

I didn't know until we got to the party, but Liz was a Playboy Club waitress. (!)

I was impressed!

Did she serve you thoroughly Jarl?

For some reason my office has always dressed up. I was out on medical leave last year so missed it. This year we are all dressing as witches, but as I have court all day, I am wearing just a cobweb cape & witch hat over my court clothes.

Don't tempt me....

It was my idea! I figured, since we're an all female office of prosecutors, that's what folks already think of us.

I'd have thought vampires more apt...

I'll suggest it next year!

No, that's my office.

Happy Samhain!

Since I have a moustache and goatee, I wanted to dress as someone that would not require any major modifications.

Colonel Sanders.

Whitened hair, trimmed goatee, white jacket and shirt, black ribbon tie, dorky glasses.

Pretty lame, but it was a good effort.

For the last two weeks I've been wearing my Halloween hat. It wasn't meant to be that, where I found it at was an Environmentalist's booth at a fair, many moons ago.
They had embroidered caps covered with wolves, or tree frogs, or some other animal species theme to them, for sale... and there was one decorated with bats!
Complete with a night sky and full moon! I had to have it!

Since then, I've never seen anyone else with one, so I wear it every year <gloat>
