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

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.

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?

[king_buzzo]

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.

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?

[Washing Machine]

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.

[total-trash]

i agree compeltely with you washing machine

You can never have too many skanky costumes.
