I had a friend in high school who wore jeans and a red t-shirt and carried around a can of Redi-Whip. She was a zit.

This year, my friend and I are going to be twin Stevie Nicks. Don't anyone even think of stealing that idea.

How about these:

1. Black makeup around one eye and wearing a t-shirt with a big "P" printed on it. Voila! You're a Black-Eyed Pea.

2. Pink sweat suit with a shoe on your head. Voila! You're gum on the bottom of a shoe.

I haven't actually seen these, but I get bored sometimes and think of weird things. Personally, I'll be going as Elwood Blues this year.

I was a Bosnian once. I put on my paisley bathrobe and carried a super-soaker.

My mom always used to sew me these really neat costumes that I would design for her. My favs were Tinkerbell (complete with these giant, multi-colored cloth-covered cardboard wings) and Cleopatra (not a good choice for mid-Fall in Vermont).

You should go as a "scurvy knave", which would be something other than a pirate, but remaining within the boundaries of the pirate theme. Or perhaps a parrot. Or a coconut?

Ooh! Ooh! Iiiiideeeeeaaaaaa!!!

Since you have united yourself and myself in your pirate mindset, why don't you dress up as a pirate in honor of my birthday in October? You can send me pictures. Yes prease! And for your birthday I will dress up as something you choose.

I can't believe the words "giant" "foam" "head" don't factor into your Halloween costuming plans.

Wear a slip and a sash or a name tag that says "Freudian" - Only about half the people will get it, but it certainly seperates the men from the boys.

Reminds me of a terrible fancy dress joke:

A bloke went to his mates fancy dress party with nothing but a naked girl on his back.
"So what the hell are you supposed to be?" the host asked.
"I'm a snail." the bloke replied.
"What a load of *+!@!" the host said. "How can you be a snail when all you've got is that naked girl on your back?"
"That's not a naked girl, mate" the bloke replied "That's Michelle."

I don't think I get the joke. Maybe it is really bad. Or maybe I'm just slow. I think I'm going as a monkey this year and I do think you should be a coconut.

I can't believe that Cheryl didn't get the joke. That was a good one!

katie - August 7, 2003 - 1:27 PM - ℓ

I don't know which is funnier, the idea of someone hammering you, or the idea of someone milking you. Or the idea of you being brown and hairy.

Bad joke.

In Monkey Island 3, Guybrush has to carve a huge Moai-esque mask out of a giant piece of tofu, to wear it to a volcano-feeding ceremony. That has possibilities.

What shall I dress up as for you, my dear? (Remember, it'll have to be low-budget.)

Don't ask me to dress up and post a photo, 'cos it ain't gonna happen.

There are photos of me dressed variously as a clown and as Zorro during Las Palmas carnival. They will never be posted either. I was also in drag one night at carnival time (weird Canary Islands tradition). I did not allow photos of this.

katie - August 8, 2003 - 8:12 AM - ℓ

Oh, our birthday costume photos would not be for postin'. Only sharing between the two of us. Well, srah can post the pictures of her if she wants, but mine aren't going anywhere near the web.

(In case you're wondering, it has absolutely nothing to do with embarrassment over the costume. I'm just weirded by the idea of having my face out there in cyberspace...)

Our family friend, UNCLE BRIAN, dressed as a nun. I have no idea why he did that.
