Best: at 21 I was a genie, I rocked that costume.
Worst: the year my parents couldn't buy me a costume so I wore my dads old stuff and went as a "bum"

    Worst: Would have been in 2000, I believe. I was a mermaid... I could barely walk in that stupid costume because the opening at the bottom was so small so I had to take itty bitty steps. Drinking made it even harder... I think I fell at least twice that night.

    Best: Naughty Nurse. It was a fun costume...and a fun night.

    Best: Dressed up as Randy Savage because I put a lot of work into it

    Worst: Dressed up as Randy Savage very few people knew who we was and though I was a rodeo clown.

    Worst: When I went as a witch and we didn't have any green face paint or even yellow & blue to make green. So my mom mixed a bunch of colors together and it turned out greyish. I looked horrible. The outfit was bad too.

    Best: When my brother and I went as Ninja Turtles the same year. I was Donatello and he was Raphael. Everyone thought I was a boy but I didn't care.

    Best? That's like asking a mom who her favorite child is! I've loved all my costumes!

    The worst were years I didn't do anything for Halloween.

    Best: Probably the Little Mermaid costume my mom made me when I was in kindergarten. Either that, or when I was Wednesday Adaams in 3rd grade.

    Worst: I was the Queen of Spades last year, but my costume was last minute thrown together and sucked.

    This year I was EVE from Wall-E and it was a pretty great costume last night.

    I have never been invited to a Halloween party, so never had an occasion to wear a costume.

    That's so sad! :cry:

    I've worn six different costumes to seven different events this year alone!

    I've liked all my costumes but my worst would probably be last year when I was cleopatra but because I was heavier and wearing a tight, short costume that bunched up, and super high heels! So that was fun walking in....

    The best is when I was a bull fighter--it was so fun and cute!! I loved it. I also really liked this year's costume. I was a German beer girl, I put my hair in braids on top of my head and had a huge beer stein purse.

    Thanks for highlighting exactly how much of a loser I am. Yes. I have no social life and I am feeling pretty crap about it right now. I don't have the kind of friends who have parties, and no one ever invites me to anyone else's parties. I think that's what comes of getting married and having children too young.

    BEST: Modern day Greek goddess Artemis. White skinny jeans, flowing/revealing-ish white top and white knee high boots. Silver wrist cuffs and silver rope woven in my red hair. I had to explain alot, but most people still didn't get it they just thought I look good.

    WORST: Lady-Gaga, there was a wardrobe malfunction...yeah lets leave it there.

    Awww... I didn't mean to make you feel bad! Sometimes you have to make happen if it's something you want to do. I was bummed I wasn't getting invited to Halloween parties, so I hosted my own. But only two of those were parties, and one was my own. The rest were public events that anyone could go to. My husband was never too into it, either, but in the last three years or so, he's come around to my way of thinking. :devil: (Primarily because I do all the decorating, costume making, etc... it's fun for him if he doesn't have to put in the effort, but I enjoy the effort, too.)

    I haven't dressed up since I was a kid, but one year I went as Gillian Anderson's character Scully from X-Files. No one knew who I was, I kept getting called "son" and a few people wouldn't give me candy because I had a briefcase instead of a pillowcase/bag.

    Best: Either the year I dressed as a hooker or when I was 10 and went as Raggedy Ann.

    Worse: Fairy. It could have been cute if I wasn't 300+ lbs in the most hideous dress that made me look about 20 months pregnant on top of it. Short hair. Not pixie cute short. It looked like a 8 year old cut it for me. Then I had on wings with a span of about mile and I couldn't walk down a hallway without turning sideways. I was afraid I would take out all the small children at the mall.

    I can't wait to get closer to goal. I have so many fun ideas for Halloween Costumes!

    LorinaLynn is my hero with all her costumes this year! :flowerforyou:

    I would, but I don't really know anyone here well enough to invite them to things. I don't really have the sort of friends who do dressing up. Most of my friends are all over the world. I only have 2 friends within a shortish drive of me, and 3 people does not a party make. Such is a the downside of living in the country.

    Ive only dressed up once in my entire life. We werent allowed to celebrate halloween as kids so when I got older, I felt weird about dressing up and just went to parties in normal clothes. The year I did dress up - I got to a party and was told if I didnt dress up I was going to be tormented. So I put on a flannel, a john deer hat and painted on a mustache with eyeliner. I was not a good lookin dude. Lamesauce.

    WORST:
    my mom dressed me as a ghost by putting me in a pillowcase with a pointed tip on my head....and sent me off with my uncle (a horrible racist)...(.now i live in a place where you would think segregation still existed til 1996)...that being said....i was 4 and didn't know what the KKK was .....i was whining about not liking my costume bc i wanted to be strawberry shortcake....so my uncle told everyone who called mer a ghost that i was a "little Ku Klux Klansman"....bc i did not know what that was....i didn't correct him.....i still hate him for that


    BEST:
    HMMMMMMMMMMM....definitely she-ra....princess of power

    I don't recall a worst...

    Best was when I dressed up as a man, I've done this twice. Fooled airport security (pre-9-11) when I had to get frisked due to my steel-toed boots, Security Guard, "Sir, step over here..." ,frisk frisk.. "Oh, um, oh... you are a gal..." Second time I dressed as a man for Halloween I was working in retail, I never let on to my customers that I was in a costume, just went along with the "role" and a customer requested another sales person because she was just having a difficult time with me being a man and just not being able to deal with it well. Lost that commission, but have the story. So it was a win-win.

    Worst: Kindergarten..someone fashioned together a pumpkin costume that was stuffed full of newspaper. I had to go to the bathroom and just cried and cried because I could figure out how to go w/out newspaper falling out of the bottom. I'm not really sure if I ever did go.

    Best: 6 years ago I was at my lowest adult weight and I wore a sexy SWAT team jumpsuit with high cut boots. Going to the bathroom was tricky with this one too.
