It's the same story every year; here I sit nearly one week away from Halloween with no costume and very few ideas. I am not a big time costume shopper, when I buy something I want to be able wear it more than once a year, or once period. This year I want a costume that will leave me with a piece of clothing or an entire outfit I can continue to enjoy wearing for a while.
So far the best idea I've had is going out as PC from Apple's "I'm a Mac. and I'm a PC" commercials. I figure if I went as PC I will atleast end up with a suit jacket and pants to wear for those occasions that call for more than a t-shirt and blue jeans ( I really am a Mac I guess). I know it's not the best idea but it sort of illustrates what I am trying to achieve with my look this year. Let me know if you have any fashionably sound Halloween costume ideas that I could ummm...borrow?
I'm always in the same boat...this year I've decided to go cheap and buy a kids costume - maybe like a ladybug or a lion. I'm small enough that I should be able to find one that somewhat fits (might have to make some modifications to it) but I'll still be too big for it and thus it will look ridiculous and very funny (that's the idea anyway).
I also resorted to Googling several variations of 'cool costume ideas' to see what others have done. Quite a few cool costumes came up but nothing I really wanted to try.
If I had the resources and time, I DID come up with one great idea; feel free to use this if you can pull it off! Basically, it involves one guy dressing up as King Henry VIII...and then having 6 girls accompany him dressed up as his ghoulish deceased wives. Historical AND gruesome! Appropriate props for King Henry VII include a fake turkey leg or a mini guillotine.
Whaddya think?
