What should I be for Halloween?

Asked by nromstadt (626points) October 19th, 2011

I need a creative halloween costume that is not the typical (slutty version of cat, bunny, witch, etc.) for a college halloween party. Anything particularly clever, or fitting to my physical features would be appreciated! I’m 5’8”, 125lbs and brunette. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had a friend who came to a party as a spider one year. She sewed and stuffed the spider legs and then rigged them on a frame of wires.

Due to your age, size, and hair color you could go as:

*Demi without Kutcher…but display your wedding ring prominently
*Katy Perry
*Betty Rubble
*Wonder Woman
*Betty Boop
*One of the Kardashians
*Amy Winehouse returns from the dead
*Kate Middleton

Anything ripped from the news can be interesting and a conversation starter for a college party…Otherwise, if you want to make it yourself, a vampiress or a zombie can be fun to do and add to with make up and accessories. Bride of Frankenstein is a fun one to do!

This year I’m a Victorian china doll. Last year I was the goddess Artemis, Year before that, Galadriel from Lord of the Rings. Before that, a Vulcan. Year before that, a demented fairy. Before that, a ghost (sounds typical, but it was a Civil-War era ghost, complete with Scarlett O’Hara-type day dress and musketball wound). Before that, a Padawan (Jedi-in-training). Before that, an elf-warrior (I dressed up as my D&D character)

Homemade costumes are the best.

A bloody chef (you could even hang a couple of “fake steaks” on your outfit, using doggy toys).

A 1920’s era flapper (sounds like you have the body for it).

Invisible man. So cool that people won’t realised that you didn’t show up.

I think being Abby from NCIS would be a fun Halloween costume.
White lab coat, funky outfit with leather dog collar, blackened hair in pigtails with bangs curled under, and carry a farting hippo.

One of my favorites a was when my daughter went as a cereal killer. She stuck a knife through a box of Cheerios.

@Judi I love your ideas. Hee Hee. I’m now picturing Abby chasing after the Cereal Killer!

My husband did that for work one year @Judi…It’s a fun simple costume. I love homespun ideas

Oh, not that anyone asked, but I changed my costume (so Victorian China Doll is open, if anyone wants it.)

I’m going as the ghost of Steve Jobs. And I’ll be carrying my Zune, because they only have Microsoft in Hell. too soon?

I’m going to a party with many hardcore Apple fans.
