What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

[mrshandy]

I just got notice of a party we're invited to. Costumes are mandatory. I need something good.

Probably not doing a group costume since DS is Spiderman and DD is being a mouse.

hmmm not sure yet for this year. Last year I dressed as a baby and wore a crown and carried a British flag - HRH Prince George Alexander Louis A lot of people had no clue who I was.

Sometimes we go to a Simpsons trivia event, and their October event is going to have a costume contest so I'd like to dress up for that. I have a few ideas.

If we don't go to that, then I doubt we'll dress up. Nobody has time for a party and we never get trick-or-treaters on our block

We've been Wayne and Garth, plus a Ghostbuster and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man - all homemade and pretty easy. We were a gorilla and a banana one year, and got those costumes from the Oriental Trading catalog.

ETA: How old is your DD? If she's willing (or too young to care), you could tweak her costume a bit to be Mighty Mouse and then you could all go as super heroes.

We have an adults costume party every year and I am going as either Maleficient or Red riding hood. Past years I have been a pirate, surgeon, ladybug, flight attendant, Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.

I'm not sure if we have a party to go to this year, but if anyone's looking for ideas, the best costume ever was when DH and I went as a team from Double Dare. Sweat pants and an awesome costume, FTW!

I was thinking Marty McFly. Not sure if I'll dress up at all this year.

It was actually for a costume contest two weeks ago at the library.

And I totally ran out of time and didn't participate.

Aw, sorry.

The White Rabbit dog is cute.

If I do anything Snow White. I get comments about it every time I wear red lipstick because I'm so pale and have dark hair. Throw on a $30 Disney dress or the right skirt and top and done.

Of course my friend tends to go all out and I told her I'd be her guinea pig this year so we'll see.

Probably a pirate since DD1 is going to be Izzy and DD2 is going to be a fairy (aka, supplier of pixy dust ;-) ).

I'm all about easy costumes. Can you be a witch? (Black dress and witch hat.) A cat? (Cat ears, tail, and a black or gray shirt and matching leggings.)

[UnderProtest]

NOTHING!!!! I'm using this non-US thing to my advantage and skipping Halloween altogether this year. No costumes for the kids either!!!!! Hope that doesn't make me a bad parent, although I pretty much don't care. i will consider it a success if I make it through this move to London without having to dress in "fancy dress" (aka costumes). My husband has already failed at this.

A clown. I bought a cute light up rainbow tutu for a race and I want to get another use out of it. Add white tank, suspenders, knee high socks.

We are going as Jake and the Neverland Pirates. DS is Jake. We are Izzy and Cubbie. DS chose.
