Help!

I have a big Halloween party to go to.

I'm looking for a creative costume idea...with the guarantee that it will be the most original costume in the room and that I will win that freaking contest.

My sister just sent me a text saying that she's going to be a Furby (remember those? The most annoying toy to ever be created?) so I have to beat her. Typical sibling rivalry.

I'm looking for something that will be easy to dance in / walk in (as I've been told there will be a lot of booze involved--and yes, I've already budgeted for that day and labeled it as a cheat day).

So far I've come up with the original 1959 Barbie, a dead Marine "cutie", the Pink Power Ranger, Poison Ivy, Nina (from Black Swan), and the clown playing the balloon-guitar in Dr. Rockso's "Rock n' Roll Clown' music video.

Any other suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!! :smile:

    If you're going with a guy, you could both go as Waldo and Wenda from the Where's Waldo books.

    I saw a cute costume for a parrot--you could make it at own with some feathers and a red dress. Last year saw a girl in a shower costume-it was really cute and creative-not like Karate Kid's lol but I don't know how she did it! Her dress had 'bubbles' on it and a plastic 'shower curtain. Maybe you can google it to see pictures.

    One of the costume I used awhile back went over really well! It was road kill, I used a cat costume then took a bicycle tire and
    put some face paint on it and ran it on my face then used a gray sweat shirt and ran a tire with black paint on it over it in various spots, then take an old nylon cut one leg out of it and stuff with red yarn having a few holes that you can pull some yarn out and have hanging down then attach it to the sweat shirt like intestines hanging out. You can get pretty creative dont forget blood spots on the shirt and on your face. Sounds kind of gross but no one else thought of it before.
    Hope you have fun!

    Haha I have no idea. I've been addicted to NCIS lately, so I was thinking of some skanky Navy costume, but then making it look as if I was murdered and buried in the ground...

    My back-up idea is a Silent Hill nurse.

    Was wondering the same thing. There's always copying one of the Living Dead Dolls. They actually have a costume contest too.

    A couple years ago my hubby and I dressed up as Dog the Bounty hunter and Beth. I got huge fake boobs and a blonde wig and just wore black clothes...my hubs bought the kit online for his and added some of his own touch. We won the creative award

    My tattooist who is heavily pierced and tattooed on her face is going to take out all her piercings and cover up her tattoo's and go as a 'normal' person.

    I am going as Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance. I have it all arranged. I just need to dye my hair and I'm done.
