I hope you post your costumes so that we can see them. They sound fabulous! Dawn – nice one (BSG fans unite). </p> <p>I don’t have a costume party to go to, but if I did, I’d go as Simon le Bon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102647 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:40:20 +0000 chewyspaghetti 102647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I have a Renn Fair costume that I may be able to get into now (made it in college)- I guess I should try it on.<br /> Hubby went as a Magic 8 Ball one year- that was pretty cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102640 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:29:42 +0000 shiny 102640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pig snout + wings .... creative! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102589 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 05:31:39 +0000 Maya 102589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Shiny, you and hubby are mind readers. I was thinking of going as Y2K to the 90's theme Halloween party...except I'm not entirely sure how to dress as Y2K, other than some amorphous blob of impending doom. </p> <p>So then we started discussing what we would dress as in 2019, when we have a 00's theme party, so I said I would continue the disaster trend and go as H1N1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102587 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 05:28:37 +0000 cciele 102587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only costume I have anymore is a pirate one, so I'll probably be boring and do that again this year! Oh, we should have a thread where people post their costumes -- would love to see swine flu interpretations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102583 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 05:24:51 +0000 Sihaya 102583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha - H1N1 and swine flew are so funny. I don't think I'll be dressing up but one of my favorites for myself was when I died my hair pink and dressed up as a punk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102540 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:56:58 +0000 Anonymous 102540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking about this today. Maya - I agree! Halloween is one of the few times I don't enjoy working at a university - LOTS of skanky, tasteless, demeaning outfits. sigh.</p> <p>I was thinking of dressing as swine flu, wearing pig snout, fake wings (swine "flew"... ha ha!), and using a thermometer while holding a box of tissues) or Cruella DeVille. But I'd have to find a sweet (faux) fur jacket for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102539 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:56:15 +0000 shiny 102539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have two costume parties, one on mischief night at a neighbor's house (kinda like a block party - my girls will be babysitting for the neighbors, because it's a no-kids-allowed party) and one on Halloween which is essentially an office party with my DH's colleagues (this party has the most creative costumes ever). </p> <p>I picked up a cheongsum in the Ladies Market in Hong Kong specifically for this reason! Maybe not so creative, but it'll be easy. DH wanted us to go as H1N1: simple costume with him wearing a tee shirt that says H1, me wearing one that says N1... then we stay together all night long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102535 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:42:07 +0000 marianna 102535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My boyfriend and I are taking our chihuahuas to a pet costume parade... so we might need to get dressed up too. No definite plans yet, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102451 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:25:21 +0000 chewyspaghetti 102451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not dressing up this year, but last year I was Rosie the Riveter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102449 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:21:44 +0000 Maya 102449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same discussion with a friend about "skanky" Halloween attire for women. There was even a New York Times article on it a couple of years ago. Some of the women interviewed said Halloween was the only time where it is acceptable for women to "look like sluts" (or something along those lines).</p> <p>Pretty depressing.</p> <p>Anyway, I have been invited to a 90's theme party but I'm not sure if I can make it yet. My friend is going to dress as Melissa Joan Hart in Clarissa Explains It All. I have NO idea who/what to go as. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102440 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:41:04 +0000 Ana 102440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not dressing up this year. I'll be working on Halloween during the day, and probably just relax at home in the evening. :)</p> <p>Your costume sounds very creative, I like Starbuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-halloween#post-102421 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:02:47 +0000 Dawn 102421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is anyone here dressing up for Halloween? My friend is throwing a Halloween party next Thursday and I'm going as Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace from Battlestar Galactica (<a href="http://www.ebuford.com/photos/the_fam/starbuck.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebuford.com/photos/the_fam/starbuck.jpg</a>). The costume shouldn't be too difficult as I need a grey cap-sleeve tshirt, a black vest top, khaki pants, dog tags, a toy gun and a mouthy irreverent attitude. </p> <p>On a side note, it's been years since I've dressed up for Halloween but why are so many of women's Halloween costumes basically lingerie with the addition of a nurse's cap or devil's horn?</p> <p>Does anyone else have plans for their costume yet? </p>
