anyone dressing up?? I am putting togather a Jedi Costume. I will see if I can post pics when its ready.

I put this topic here so that if your costume is not about star wars or other sci-fi film/tv show you could still post about it.

I look forword to seeing some cool costumes. ether home made or ordered.

Jesse Custer. AKA Preacher.


I'm only debating on if I should wear my red contacts of not... so as to simulate "the voice".
For as much as some people claim to hate what Star Wars has become, they sure seem incapable of shutting up about it.

I was thinking of going dressed as Darth Chaltab with a red lightsaber and a huge matrix-style trench coat....

But I'm not willing to spend that kind of money.

The last time I dressed up to actually go out and trick-or-treat, it was a combo.
I was Yacko.
My brother was Wacko.
My sister was Dot.

We went all the way with it too. It was actually a lot of fun.

Last year was the first year I had to work on Halloween. I was hoping for the usual Cleveland Halloween...cold and rainy. I wore shorts, a Ray Nitschke jersey, my Cheesehead, and green face paint.
I gave away little cubes of colby cheese.

I actually had one girl look at me, turn around run away laughing.

This year, I've had a lot of different ideas.
1. Dress up as an old man. Grey my hair a little, get some glasses, put wrinkles on my face, wear some different style of cloths.
2. Harpo Marx. The way I have to interact with people, the silent bit would be funny.
3. Doc Brown/Marty McFly. There is a Delorean at a lot in my neighborhood, and I think it would be cool to buy/rent the car, then drive up in it.
4. random Monty Python character. Gumby, Minister of Silly Walks, Mount Kilimanjaro expedition organizer, etc.. The problem is that none of the kids would know who I am.

Here's the plan @ this point: my son is dressing up as a crocodile, so I decided to have fun with that and go as the Crocodile Hunter. It might be a li'l cool for the khakis, though.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Tough it out, ya puss.

Just be careful how you wrangle him or you could wind up with Michael Jackson-esque charges filed against you.

I know that's not entirely funny, but I do worry about being a parent in this day and age. I worry about how some teachers and neighbors might interpret stuff that happens and think that some kind of abuse is going on. Can you imagine doing something as innocuous as playing football, having your kid trip and bruise himself, and then have the police stop by because your kid's teacher thinks you hit him/her?

Sorry, back on topic. No costume for me this year. Waiting to pull out the big guns for when I have kids. Haven't gone full blow on a Halloween costume since I was in high school. Looking forward to it. I was pretty good with costume paint.

No kidding; only thing I was planning on doing was bringing a Cabbage Patch doll along (baby stand-in, since my younger son is going as the Cat in the Hat and is too big to pass for a baby). Was also contemplating tying the jaws shut on the croc costume (it's one of those plush numbers with the croc's head on top, and my son's face is underneath).

Come on! How long did you have a quote from The Guru as your sig?

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

That is a pretty obvious choice for Shimmy. However, if he can have Heather Graham and Marisa Tomei on each of his arms, I would bow down to him in worship.

If we had Halloween here, and we don't, I would dress up as George Lucas. Seriously.

Just don't wear the Lucas mask around little children, it would be too scary for them.

For them? It would be too damn scary for me!

Next year I'm planning to go to an anime convention dressed up as an anime character, I'll post photos here if I ever do such an insane thing.

I wish I could find my old childhood photos when I was dressed up as Emperor Palpatine or Perseus from Clash of the Titans. Great costumes homemade by my mom.

I did have photos from carnaval, back when I was 2 or 3, with me dressed as a pirate and an indian. I had to burn all the copies while chanted a gipsy curse, so that those images are no longer remembered by those who have seen the photos.
