ARGH. Need... your... help...

[stoney321]

Okay, normally? I am a WHIZ at Hallowe'en costumes. LOVE getting dressed up. (hello! costume box!) Some of mmy best costumes from Hallowe'en past: Prom Queen from 16 Candles, replete with 80's wig with large chunk taken out and purple double tiered prom dress, starched and stiffened my clothes and hair so it all stood out to one side and was "person standing in the wind," Pez-Dispenser...

I'm stuck. STUCK! I looooooove costumes and trick or treating - um, with the kids. Yeah. Passing out candy, playing spooky music, scaring kids as they come up to the house... So. Poll time. Mr. S relies on me to create the costumes for us, so I've stuck him in here too. Help a sistah out.

[Poll #598714]
So? Bueller? I'm game for anything that doesn't require nudity. Because, um, no. What are YOU going as? And if your answer is nothing, WHY NOT?

[ETA]: CRAP! Happy birthday, greenstone_j!! I hope you have a fun day! *smooooch* Happy Birthday spikendru!! I smoosh you to my bewbies with love and kisses on this day of AGING. Hahahaha! Ahem. *loves!*

[ETA] #2: AHAHAHA!! I just found my Greatest American Hero wig!! I just need red tights and a cape and a headband... I don't think he'll go for it. But heeeee!

I know how you feel. I'm stuck this year and the halloween costumes I want to do I have no time to put together. I'm going to my friend's party on Saturday night and have already warned him I'll probably be showing up in normal clothes. We've come to the mutual decision that I can pass myself off as an off-duty stripper, an Immortal or a vampire who has sworn off biting people.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hmm. So the idea is something sexy...

Prostitute. You could go the funny route and be a pregnant hooker? No? Pair of fishnets, few well placed holes, lycra tube top, and Bob's your uncle.

By which of course I mean "Uncle Bob," which is how you explain the strange man in the house at night to your babies.

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

Well the full list of acceptable suggestions from him was:

off duty stripper
undercover cop
evil robot you
person with an unusual fetish (like watching people
eat candy, or wearing clothes...)
shy hermaphrodite
yourself from the future without Halloween candy
travelled back here in a time machine to eat some
OOH! You could get a stick-on goatee and be the
alternate evil Christy from another dimension (the one
evil Spock was from).

The Immortal was my suggestion just because I get to carry around one of his swords. I do like the pregnant hooker suggestion. I like going to silly or fannish costume route instead of the sexy costume route. Since I usually wear all black on performance night I may just go as Super Emo Girl.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

EMO! Yes. You should get red ink and draw "I hate teh wurld" on your arm like you cut that in. Hahaha!!!

Although... the "Alternate Evil" Christy with the goatee is looking good, if only for the funny SP reference.

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

Hee! I just have to train myself to cry one perfect emo tear.

*snicker* I didn't even think of that.

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

I shall be going as Goth Vampire In Corset, 'cause dammit, I'm getting some mileage out of that $200 sucker. Mm-HM.

That reminds me, I need a new wig. The black one is just not right for my coloring. No no.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Green? Red? Whatchu lookin' at, Bead?

(Also: kitties! Bad computer! Bad back! Love you!!)

CORSET. I have a GORGEOUS corset that I haven't pulled out... Hmmm. *wheels turn*

CRAP. I'm on trick or treat duty. I can't go all sexed up. BAH.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of being lazy again, and going as the Brawny Guy. Really - all I need is a flannel shirt, boots, and a fake mustache.

You could be clever like my younger sister and her BF, who are going as Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. It's quite creepy to watch my sister practice her dialogue...

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

BWAH! Unfortunately, Mr. S is a bit too... subdued to pull off Tom.

Last year he went as a ghost hunter with a bullet hole in the center of his head. Aheh. Um... it was quick and easy. But ghost = no acting or emoting.

BRAWNY!! Original? Or new lame gay one sans mustache, which is contradictory, if you think about it.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Maybe I'll be the New Brawny Guy, since that won't require a fake mustache. And yeah - the gayness and mustache thing is kind of strange if you think about it...

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Be sure to carry some of your products with you. And knock over people's drinks. TO demonstrate just how Brawny you - and your paper toweling - is.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Or... ARE.

How brawny you ARE.

...is??? CLearly I ran that comment through gizoogle.

[somecandytalkin.livejournal.com]

Is or are, that is a funny idea.

[cherusha.livejournal.com]

This year I am going as Cherusha the Zombie Queen after pulling three all-nighters in a row for midterms. My enemy? Fatigue. My weapon? Starbucks grande caffe mocha, 2%, no cream.

I voted Uma-bride for you, however, Mr. S should keep the "Who's Your Daddy?" but dress up as Brahma instead -- because c'mon! Multiple heads and arms! Gotta love it.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha!!! And you poor thing! *tucks you in bed, shushes everyone on your floor*

Extra limbs... Yessssss.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

I do so read your journal! I just only made it to moosesal's today before I had to talk about myself.

We are going as nothing on account of the $$ sitch. Plus, there's nothing going on this year. Well, there is a costume party, but it's being given by people who aren't into costumes, so it feels kind of weird.

Plus I feel fat which makes me not want to dress up. I was hot ass Power Puff Girl just a few years ago, and that costume wouldn't cover a boob now. :(

Love the "Who's Your Daddy," I couldn't decide between you and Mr. Stoney for that one - but I gave him Rove because it made me laugh.

What are the kids going as?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

NUH UH! Do not. You skim and look for your name. ADMIT IT. Hahahahaha!!!

Let's see: Austin = Darth Vader, post tater-tot. Morgan = demon/she-devil. Emily = Corpse Bride.

BORING. But they picked it. My idea of them as contractions was soundly vetoed. Hee hee!

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

NUH UH! Do not. You skim and look for your name. ADMIT IT. You know me so well, my Jedi Master.

My last post was all about the Vin love, I know. (I did give you a pratfall shout-out.) I miss Vin, and she wasn't even LJ'in all that much before she went fishing.

I'm having Sonic - America's Drive-Inn!

Corpse Bride! Making the costume?

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

maybe Mr. Stoney should go as Delay in prison garb and SMILE THE WHOLE TIME.

creepy.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

If he did, it would be very hard for me to refrain from punching him in the nuts.

Creepy INDEED.

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

well, he probably doesn't want to wear that costume, then.

has he considered going as "Puffy Xander"?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hee! Strangers With Candy cme out while I had my super short hair. I used to freak Mr. S out with my impression. Haha!

MULLET.

I wanna be a Drape Ape. A Kentucky Waterfall. A Camaro Cut. Alabama Mudflap. Or be a curly one = Pullet. Or Moodle.

WHEEEE!

[spikendru.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the Birthday wishes! *smoochies*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*SQUISHES!!!*

[anelith.livejournal.com]

I'm so delighted by the thought of Mr. Stoney dressed as a Rove or Cheney (why not Libbey?) in prison-garb that I thought maybe you could go as a gleeful Valerie Plame, but then I remembered that (quite rightly) no one knows what she looks like.

Rats.

Could you dress as the missing uranium that they wanted to find? Ha! Cardboard box, holes for your head and arms, paint it neon green... (who knows what raw uranium looks like).

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Scooter? Man, I love that a guy named "Scooter" might end up in the big house. HAHAHAH!! Jack ass.

I could go as the WMDs!

[timeofchange.livejournal.com]

I always go as Goth Mom, but strangely nobody in this burb gets that it's a costume. I do think the PTA ladies are a bit afraid of me though. I think they're freaked about the studded leather collar. That's okay, though,'cause they are a bunch of bitches, yo.

Issue? Who, me?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hee hee! they're just jealous. THEY want a studded leather collar but are afraid to get one.

[greenstone-j.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the b'day wishes...and I thought you should have been a penis and a vagina...but then, I'm not going to be there to be grossed out....
