Halloween Costumes 2013

What is everybody planning to wear for Halloween this year!? I'm tossing some ideas around in my head for simple costumes that will show off my hard work (working to lose 15 pounds by then!) but not be ridiculously slutty! It would be fun to see what others are planning!

Wow! That would take a lot of time to make, but I bet it would be fun! I used to go all out for Halloween costumes, but I travel too much to make really detailed ones anymore.

:flowerforyou: Totally understand your pressed for time issue with having to ready your costume Rachel.

I go about it my cheat way. I stick to a character like Morgaine and I basically "accessorise" myself with effective accents to revitalise the character through me without going all novelty style about it. ENTER the bodypaint (Spirit of the Crow motif stenciling along an exposed arm or my thighs garter stockings- esque), the face bodypaint makeup (Face lace in blood red with her signature symbols ~ half of the face either from top to side or right across from earlobe to earlobe ~ yet undecided), add the accessories (the heels. the head dress) plus the jewelry (subtle ones only, featuring the crescent moon or a weapon or a some other relevant signature symbol depictive of the character); Dramatise the hair, the eyes and the nails ... And I'm good to go. Doesn't take long if "the highlights" are small yet occasion worthy lol

Made the mistake of not bothering one year ~ let's just say never again, so I attempt some effort.



ETA: Those who know me insist that Halloween's my favourite holiday and it appears that way, but my personal favourite is Easter (which they're never into lol).

I really want to be a peacock

:flowerforyou: Resurrection ~ gr8 choice.

I've been Minnie Mouse for the past 4 years and I think it's time for a new costume.

I might head out to Universal Studios for Halloween- so I should really plan something special since the majority will be in costume (not to mention the zombies and werewolves and clowns chasing you down lol)

Probably something along the lines of a mermaid? I would love to play around with cosmetics, it'll give me an opportunity to show off my makeup artistry. Though it would be difficult to walk around with a fishtail all day lol !

I've always wanted to be the bee girl from the No Rain music video

Mine are always slutty. The hubs wants me to go as Pocahottie this year....

Me and my other half went one year as I dream of Jeannie and Captain Nelson it was a cute costume thatll definatley show off all your hard work :bigsmile:

I hear a lot I am a witch, so I guess I don't need to change myself :bigsmile:

I have a toga that I break out on any appropriate occasion!

I thought the Bane costume was pretty cool.



How much do people normally spend on a costume? I thought $350 was kinds much for it.

I suppose the alternative would be to make a homemade version like this one??



Yup, that settles it, gonna make my own.
