    Trying to decide what to dress as. What I've dressed up as in the past:

    Supergirl
    Batgirl
    Cookie Monster
    She-ra
    Nurse
    Tinker Bell

    Always paid homage to Celt Goddess(es) in attire, from when I was first exposed to Halloween (at age 13, via a Private Boarding School for Young Ladies abroad). Before then I'd always been more about Guy Fox Day around the same period, where the young boys of every home would be adorned as close as possible as what Americans will associate with Zoro. Black cape, a mask and their preferred head dress with an attached weapon or weapons (eg bow and arrow, sword, etc), holding a cut-out pumpkin head on a stake, which the boys may parade in groups, with accompanying older children and teens with flashlights or lanterns, screaming "Guy Fox, Guy Fox, Guy Fox Day," throughout the neighbourhood streets. On their return to their homes, we'd then continue with drum solos 'til the early hours of the morning.

    Interpretation of: (i) Morrighan for me 2lavdbm.jpg

    and (ii) Rhiannon for my sister. 29njjhw.jpg

    Guy Fawkes, you mean?

    Halloween is probably the only holiday I genuinely like, so I'll be dressing up. I'm either going have a Nasa Spacesuit with an alien mask, or I'm going to be the protagonist from the video game "Hotline Miami"

    Oh another fabulous idea, I did one year, MEDUSA, because you can wear a really slinky sexy dress, a sexy bra, cool jewels, barrel roll your hair and attach snakes in there, if you are REAL daring you can carry around a real snake at the Halloween party and really freak everyone out ;)

    You might accidentally get shot. If I see a real snake, I'm shooting it.

    Halloween is my favourite.

    This was last year's costume (took me about 2 weeks to make)

    I was the Ice Queen

    ETA: the crown is made from wreath embellishments and pipe cleaners, same with the necklace. the cape is a curtain, a wire hanger and some faux fur I had around.

    Hah, am I going to dress up for Halloween? What a silly question... Of course I am! Last year I was Rapunzel, the year before, I was Fionna from Adventure Time, and the year before that, I was Helga Pataki from Hey Arnold!. This year, I've narrowed my list down to:

    Mabel from Gravity Falls
    Meg from Hercules
    Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph
    A female, humanoid version of Mordecai from Regular Show
    A female, humanoid version of Perry the Platypus
    Skrillex
    Actual Cannibal Shia LaBoeuf

    Regardless, it's gonna be AWESOME.

    Never heard of "Zoro". Is he anything like "Zorro"?

    Ooh fun topic!! I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking so far ahead. Yesterday I was looking for a photographer for my daughters' birthday pictures. Their birthday isn't until December! lol
    So, Halloween! Hmmmm....this year WHEN I reach my goal, I'd like to dress up as something sexy for once. Last year I was an owl, the year before I was plus size Red Riding Hood. This year I'm thinking superhero. Wonder Woman is top on of my list.

    Yes I am. I have a couple pics of previous costumes. Not sure yet what I'm going to do this year. A group of us at work are thinking about a theme. Ideas anyone??

    Last year we were zombies and won 1st prize. We looked utterly disgusting!! LOL
    My friend, her boyfriend and another couple went as the Adams family one year...it was great (Fester even had the lighbulb in his mouth!!

    I always dress up. Last year I was Alice from Resident Evil. I'm not sure what I'll be this year, yet, but I'll be choosing soon.

    Hubby and I usually try to do the couple thing, though last year we didn't. Don't know what I'll be this year since now I can actually fit something sexy!
