halloween
 

so i know it's sort of early, but i need to get on halloween costuming. i'm having a hard time figuring out what to be this year. help would be appreciated. i'm a girl for the record, just in case your suggestions apply to a gender.

I was going to suggest that you went as a girl, but you ruined it. :(

spray paint boxes silver and go as a robot.

robot's are DEAD SEXY.

go as a storm. cover yourself in cotton wool and throw lighning bolts out of your hands.

And always fun times.

i went as a mummy. the only time i have ever got dressed up at halloween.

i was thinking more along the lines of going as either a fictional character, or someone real that is dead.

hell, i just wanna wear dead people make-up.

that reminds me of flight of the conchords and their robot song.

that's fucking HOT.



that's fucking even more HOT.



this thread has got hot all over it. I need a shower.

i just noticed your grandaddy sig. that was one of the few songs i still enjoy by them

that's my favorite grandaddy song! Jed's Other Poem is my second favorite (ROBOTS ARE HOT I'M TELLING YOU).

I still like them a lot, and I'm listening to the entire discography on shuffle today. I have to be in the mood for them though and this thread made me do it.

R.I.P. Grandaddy (edit: ugh that just hit close to home)


PS: ROBOTS

being a robot would be a hassle. imagine all the shit you'd have to deal with and carry.

how can you carry stuff when you have laser beams for hands???

trust me.

the first time you melt somebody's face, they stop telling you what to do.

peace through superior firepower!!!

Cardboard and tinfoil can result in some serious chafing issues.

I love Halloween. Of course im gonna watch simpsons halloween specials all day and listen to Bad Moon Rising. Help me make a good Alternative Halloween mix CD/Tape.

help me with a costume idea first

i'm gonna go shower but i will hopefully come back to plenty of ideas.

go as an emo-ghost, the ghost is depressed because she knows how pathetic and un-scary she is. all the other ghosts make fun of her so she goes home and cuts her cloth. she stoped believing in the paranormal and by extention of this she now questions her very own existance.

best girl costume ever?

you can all make me a birthday party on the 31st, okay?

I did something like that last year. But people found it "hot" instead of scary.

if my hair was long enough i'd go for it. unfortunately i cut half of it off earlier this summer

ah. well, for short hair, this never fails.



i have to say though, having strangers pick out the manner in which you'll pour out the contents of your unconscious for one night is rather unusual.

you do realise if you go as the above, you'll have to post a picture of the costume for us:p

i just need some ideas. i'm planning on either sewing or putting together my own costume rather than having a store-bought one, so i naturally i need a good amount of time to make it.

will do

i zee. what i mean is, the answer is in your own personal mithology. i think there's a ritual aspect to wearing a costume, it's not just a "what to wear" thing. and each person has different creatures inhabiting their dreams & nightmares, etc.

for that reason i know what savage clone's costume will be this halloween:

usually i know what i want to be for halloween way ahead of time and get excited. nothings coming to my mind this year, so it makes sense for me to ask for advice. don't you think?

conan, condoman, Cousin It, me, clint eastwood,...

there are some costumes.

yes yes. but my advice is



i guess youre not understanding what im trying to say. then again i often speak in riddles. i dont know you that well to merit further effort, so i give up at least until i have breakfast.

ok one last try: the problem is not that you don't have a costume, but that you're disconnected with your inner life. but we can't reconnect you, we are not oracles. you need to do some exercises to get in touch again with your dreams. oh im feeling jungian today.

no no i understand what you mean !@#$%!, it's just think that's nonsense. most people don't celebrate halloween spritually, and when it comes down to it, they're just trying to come up with something clever/scary/fun to wear.

ah, that. social conventions. *yawn*

in that case, i dont know. i'm bad at artificial holidays.

no no you had something going for you with the naked redhead in a shell

thats venus, sweetie, not just any naked redhead. and i got it because i wasn't thinking. if you have an inner venus (i suppose you do) go for it-- in layman's terms, "if you can pull it off".

get a long red wig, move the shell up to the hips, paint boticelli's signature on your backside/belly/ankle, and take it from there. if your fellow partygoers are conversant in art history it could be a big success.

ok i need breakfast now. this oracle business makes me hungry.

the Sybil would be a good idea, but how would you get the fumes to follow you around?

I must admit Halloween is my favourite holiday. I just love the fact that its just fun, everyone knows its largely a marketing strategy and noboby bothers reading anything more into it. Perhaps this is my 00's cynicism but the perverse honesty of the holiday appeals to me.

i agree compeltely with you washing machine

hot nurse is always a good option.

i've had my share of skanky costumes. i think i've had enough of that for a while.

You can never have too many skanky costumes.
