Halloween costumes/ideas

[Meredith lady]

After meeting so many of you at the Fest and getting to know you here on the forum-I know I will find some help out there! Halloween is approaching and I need a costume! I am quite proud of the fact that throughout my now grown children's trick or treat days I never purchased a store made outfit! I consider myself "handy" and am asking for any ideas you may have for a adult costume. All ideas/suggestions are welcomed. If someone has a costume to rent, I am open to that as well. Thanks Forum friends in advance for your help!

How about the scary Webmaster mask? I hear its almost as popular as the Bernie Madoff mask.

Other than teasing your hair a mile high and blue hair spray, this wouldn't be too hard to do.... :D

When you first said "go as Marge Simpson", this is what I thought of:

If nothing else, I am having a good laugh!!
Wifi-I know, I know...leaving myself open on this one...but if you can't laugh at yourself, who can??
Pineneedles-I was wondering where that dress was... DON the webmaster has it! You are too funny for words with that picture!
Argie's Wife-There have been way too many references to Marge Simpson in other threads-if you get my meaning-so I don't want to steal anyone's thunder!
Shedwannabe-Now THAT'S scary!!
Thanks for the replies-keep 'em coming!!
C'mon-help me out here!! After all, thanks to the forum members, my brother and I fixed my clothes dryer for about $2.00...!!!

Can you sew and how soon do you need a costume?

A Fisher Person - Fishing vest, hat and reel etc.

Little girl - Wear a nightgown and slippers, paint your cheeks, tie your hair with a red ribbon, and carry a baby doll.

Devil With A Blue Dress On (http://www.springsteenlyrics.com/lyrics/d/devilwiththebluedress.php)- Blue dress, devil horns, devil tail, pitch fork.

A Kitty or Cat Burglar - Black turtle neck and leggings, headband with ears, draw on nose and whiskers and make a tail. Loot bag with kitty popping out with a tool belt on your waist.

Bat - Similar kitty, but sew wings from craft felt.

An angel

Bag Lady - Make clothes from plastic or paper bags and use tape and duct tape to hold everything together.

A Dice

Bird Watcher - Wear safari style clothes, with a hat and binoculars around your neck. Make a mixture of diluted paint or white out and splatter it all over your hat and clothes to look like birds flew over you.

Old lady with boobs down to there :laugh:

Hippie

Mother Nature - White dress with leaves, branches, grasses, birds etc.

Rag doll

Pregnant nuns are always funny :eek2:

Christmas Tree

Chocolate Moose - Fashion a cardboard Hershey Bar out of foam board and make moos antlers.

Fortune Teller

Scratch Lottery Ticket - A couple years ago a guy made up a lotto ticket called "Scratch My Balls". (You'd have to be inventive as you are a Lady.)

Cleaning Lady

Cookie Monster - Dress like any monster, but attach cookies to yourself.

Doctor in scrubs

Cotton Candy - Fiber fill stuffing, dyed pink. Use spray adhesive to attach it over a long sleeved shirt, going around and around until it gets big and fluffy (don’t forget to cover the arms). Wear a hat or headband covered with stuffing made into a point, and white pants or skirt, with white shoes.

Cow Girl

Devil in disguise - Long coat or trench coat over a devil costume and hat. Finish with glasses with a fake nose.

Be sure to share a picture with us! Good luck.

My Mom had made me an Ancha Mima costume, and with makeup and all, I set out into the neighborhood on one Halloween and had to have one of the neighbors call home and summon the family pickup truck to come and get me. I had collected tons of candy!! :liplick: :) :D

Dress as a chicken, wrap a blue sash around your middle and tie a cord around that. You are now Chicken Cord on Blue!
