I want to be an energy being...wait I am!but how to get others to see my light?
I want to be an energy being...wait I am!
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
I'm going to be an escaped inmate from Arkham Asylum (double reference there, so I love that!), complete with barbed wire wounds and still shackled to part of the arm of another inmate.
Mr. Woofer's doing a variation on the dark jester. He's going to apply a half-face skeletal appliance under his mask so that when he takes off his jester's mask the top of his face is a skeleton.
The two girls I'm going to Screamfest with will be June Cleaver (who lives up to her name) and a Vampirate.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

My best costume was probably back in high school . . . I was The Crow (Eric Draven, the one, the only and the original) not any of those stupid ones that came after. I did all my make-up myself and everything. It was bad ass.
But a couple years ago, I was Space Ghost. It was hilarious. It had this padded foam chest with all the muscles and abs carved in it. Hahaha. If I can find some pictures, I will post them. They're funny as hell.
I would love to see pictures of that. The Crow sounds great!
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Sadly, I don't know if any pictures exist but one year in high school I went as Bill S. Preston Esq. I tried to convince my friends to go as Death and Ted but they wouldn't do it.
I had the backwards red hat, yellow shirt, green&black flannel and adidas shoes w/red laces.
best costume i did? Hockey player. On roller blades, back when i was 12.
i ended up skating down the sidewalk at high speeds, and swung my hockey stick and hit another kid in the face while doing so. it was funny.
his big brother tried to make me apologize, then give him my candy. i hit him somewhere else. it was funnier.
I'm Space Ghost and my friend is Marc Antony. With all due respect, his girlfriend was Cleopatra, so it was understood. Haha

Halloween!
I've been thinking a lot about Halloween lately (mostly due to my Great Costume Debate of 2009) and I thought, hey, this could be a really fun discussion.
So this thread is for your Halloween plans. Costumes, pumpkin carving, parties, fun ideas, things you love to do every year, etc. etc. Go nuts!
Right now I'm thinking for a costume to do a kind of old-fashioned masquerade kind of outfit... like fancy dress and a mask, not really a costume in the sense of "I look like something" per se, just a rocking outfit. Not sure how much that will cost though.
We're gonna pay someone to get us a 24 pack of beer, then get drunk, set a house on fire and beat the shit out of the guy that lives there with baseball bats. God I love Flint.
ka-mai, there's this manufactured costume ball costume on ebay.
This page is an excellent source for costuming resources, including information on how-to and Halloween crafting, online.
However, you can put one together with very little monetary output. If you can find a good bridesmaid or prom dress at a thrift store near you, you can build your own cardboard and wire hanger bustle. Accessorize with a fancy, accordion-type fold fan and layered choker faux pearls, the right type and length gloves, and an appropriately cool hand held mask. I can just see you now...

A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

That's pretty cool... I'm thinking more red and black or something, but it is pretty close to the look I'm going for.
As for the Ebay dress... I'm not a medium.That's the other problem, when shopping I can usually find what I want... in a normal-people size. Stick-people sizes are hard to come by.
But thanks for the idea.
either my brother, myself and 4 of our friends are gonna go trick or treating with each of us dressed as a different incarnation of david bowie (I called dibs on ziggy) or my girlfriend and I will get drunk BEFORE the kids show up wanting candy, that'll be a good time
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
and this is different from every other day in flint how exactly?Originally Posted by razz
. . . but i'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

You're very welcome. I hope you can find something that you can with. I'd definitely keep checking ebay, too. With Halloween this close, people will be tossing more and more costuming bits up for auction.
I do know of a few other places good places online, but they're not inexpensive, spur-of-the-moment costuming quality or price. These places make clothing, jewelry, and armor geared more to the SCA, Ren Faire, and historical and theatrical societies. The Uruk-Hai armor that Mr. Woofer bought is authentic leather armor made by Schmitthenner Armoury. They don't carry that particular line any longer.
Mr. Woofer, the Uruk-Hai:
(Note the makeup sweating off around the neck. We had to keep reapplying all night. If we did this one again, we'd extend the prosthetic down to the neck or at the very least use liquid latex. Makeup would usually suffice in this instance, but since it was Florida and a particularly warm Halloween and he was wearing leather from head to toe... You get the idea. Lesson learned.)
I was a Pirate of the Caribbean in the moonlight:
You can see that even I'm sweating off a bit of it here. Always keep your makeup around for touch ups.

Woofer, those costumes look great, I like to orc!!!
I am not doing anything for halloween, except take the girls trick or treating maybe
Thanks, Milissa. If we don't feel like going out for the night, we'll get dressed up just to give out the candy and then maybe grab something at a fast food place. Just because.
By the way, when will Chad be back?

I'll be taking the kids trick or treating. Not sure what they'll be. They might go as Buzz and Woody. They might go as Darth Vader, yes...the both of them. They have matching costumes and red lightsabers. They have a lot of costumes though so its hard to say what they'll end up going as. We're into costumes in this house. I used to be much more into Halloween myself but that kinda tapered off after the kids came along.
Darth Vader and his evil twin, Garth Vader. PICS PICS PICS!

i may buy another dress or some fabric to add to the one i already have.

There are other worlds than these.

they get to dress as a mummy for several months afterward.
Oh Tamez, you're going to be too hot.
Here're some Egyptian makeup tips. More tips here.
Instructions for Applying Traditional Kohl Eye-Makeup
1. Dampen the stick.
2. Twist it in the kohl until the makeup adheres. (Give it a little shake or a tiny flick of the wrist so that the excess drops off.)
3. Place the kohl stick in the inner corner of your eye.
4. Close your eyes (lightly- don't squish them shut- you'll distort the line)
5. Gently draw the stick outwards, between your closed lids: the kohl will leave a smudgy line on both the upper and lower eyelids.
* A genuine kohl stick should have a slightly rounded bulbous end, kind of like a polished wooden q-tip.

DBF and I are having our annual Halloween party. I have an idea for a costume but I'm not sharing it yet.
