If your dressing up for Halloween this year what do you plan on being?? I've been having trouble thinking of ideas, but as a broke college student- I don't feel like buying an outfit.

I'm thinking I might be Lady GaGa haha. I already have leotards from dance and I could find a funky hat and do some crazy makeup and maybe buy a cheap wig Basically go dragish.

^ Haha! That would be great...you'd show us pics, right?

If I can't buy a costume, I'll be a butterfly. (Cause I already have the wings)

If I can buy one, I'm either going to be a Wizard (Harry Potter style), a prisoner, or a cop - haha!

Maybe a bumble bee too, there are so many choices!

^^ cute options!

Me and my friend just went to a store and she tried on the bumblebee and I tried on the ladybug haha.

I have a banana suit left over from when a friend and I performed the Banana Boat Song and he was a gorilla. I'll probably just do that...?

Wow! Nostalgia!!!!! I grew up with those cartoons and I wonder why children shows have been so bad lately. Football HEAD!
I should really start thinking about what I'm gonna be because I have no clue!
Also, I was a walking human PEZ dispenser last year!

I wanna dress up as a tramp, got the idea from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VVYaUxLFac

hmm... dunno why, but i just got the idea to dress up as Marry Ann from 11:11 (based on a short story whose name escapes me at the moment-something to do with murder or something)

i'd basically dress up as a '50's housewife, splash a little tasteful fake blood on my shirt, and carry a fake meat cleaver!

except no one would get it, so maybe i'll dress up, take the pics, post them here, then do something more generic like a cat lol

oh, and sgtcampsalot, my gymnastics coach totally did the gorilla + banana thing! but it wasn't halloween, they were just bored. So her sister dressed up like a gorilla, and she dressed as a banana, and they chased each other around the mall! xD

haha! that's great. no one's really that creative on our campus. so far the only things people have done is vomit outside my window during "Woo Wednesday" (Wooster's answer to Thirsty Thursdays).... oh, and streaking, of course....

second regina-related costume idea, though way less possible than the first (but totally worth the trouble)

dress up as a bottlecap with fake suds attached! xD and maybe a hat or something that says "S.S. Musicbox" haha

(okay, i need to go to bed)

NO!! NO!!!
THE MUSTARD MUSKETEERS!
A priest
a gardener
and a flower! xD
perfect!
now i just need to find two people willing to go in on this with me (lol)

hmm... come to think of it, secret stash is pretty halloween-esque. You reach in your pocket and pull out like two bucks, and some hacked-up raw chicken haha that would be scary as heck....

NO! okay, last edit. i'm hyper, because i ate too many brownies and i'm stressed and also sleep deprived...
anyway.....
Scarecrow and Fungus!!!
would that not be the best thing ever?
*wink wink*, Rawin and EeBee!

Really the last edit:
I Cut Off My Hair
(and no, the suggestion isn't "be bald")
i guess this one kinda takes two people, too... a guy wearing rags (easy enough to make without spending $) and a girl in ratty pointe shoes with wild hair and messy makeup. and Spongebob Squarepants pajama pants haha dunno why i always picture her in pajamas.

i'm not sure that this is the last one, but i think this is really clever, and if regina's popular where you are/a lot of people you know are into her music, this could be an awesome costume:

The Ghost of Corporate Future
(inspiration drawn from GoCF and Machine)

Head to toe:
Hair: bleached/powdered/wearing a white wig
face: vampiric makeup; bruises under the eyes, pale, pale, pale, and cracked/chapped lips
Headphones/bluetooth headset connecting to briefcase. And of course Terminator reflective sunglasses
clothing: white suit (if possible. otherwise any suit would do). adorn it to look very mechanical/robotic, like random wires connecting everywhere, or silver foil wrapping paper tastefully attached to the clothes to look robotic
Shoes: depending on the weather where you live, barefoot would be ideal!
props:
briefcase, as mentioned above. Great place to go crazy with the foil paper!
if you could find a fake robotic hand, you would be my hero!
i guess to pull it all together, you'd have to move like a robot, at least some of the time.

anyway, this is a bit involved, but if you're into dressing up hardcore for halloween, then, well, pictures are required!

idea 2
haha, or you could just go as the heroine boy from Daniel Cowman. When someone says you're not in costume, start stripping and running around like a maniac haha then you'll have to promt someone to ask you "why you screamin' like it's the end of the world" so you can go, "well, it is"
def. bedtime....
idea 3
Be Like a Cloud: go as a cloud
haha i have so many of these, but i'm gonna stop spamming this thread...

WOW, that's so well thought-out. One Halloween I wanted to be the Ghost of Corporate Future (although I ended up not dressing up at all), and my idea for a costume was a sheet and a briefcase.
