So, here’s the situation:
Halloween, as you may or may not know, is next Tuesday. This coming Friday, the 27th, is Gutenberg’s Halloween party. Since I no longer Trick-or-Treat, Gutenberg’s Halloween party is pretty much the event for which I need a costume. Today, the school was a-buzz with students who have these fantastic ideas for their costumes.
I AM CURRENTLY COSTUME-LESS. Two days to go, and NO COSTUME.
Okay, that’s not strictly true… because I have lots of old-fashiony dresses and skirts, cool boots, a purple hooded cloak, several kinds of belts, several kinds of gloves, a few cool hats, some vests, a toy lightsaber, and various other accouterments that may or may not be awesome.
Those are my building blocks. I have the building blocks… I just don’t have an idea.
Other things to keep in mind: 1) My red hair. I would be willing to wear a wig (in fact it might be fun), but if you can think of a character who is a redhead, that would be fun too. 2) I have this perverse desire to wear fake eyelashes. I have never tried them, but every time I see them hanging on the Halloween aisle at work I just WANT TO TRY THEM. Silly, I know.
Any ideas? Throw ‘em at me! I need brainstorming help.
Just… please nobody suggest that I be Mara Jade. Been there, done that… every Halloween for the past ten years.
Okay, not quite. But ALMOST.

Well, you could get some cardboard boxes together and make yourself into a camera… but unfortunately that dosn’t involve fake-eyelashes. =[

Lol, Joe… not a bad idea. OR I could just glue my CAMERA to my FACE! Oh wait… that wouldn’t be a costume, that would just be me.

Hmm, having recently watched the Adams Family, why not follow Wednesday’s example and wear your normal clothes and go as a homicidal maniac because “they look just like everyone else”.

How about Pipi Longstocking? She’s a redhead, and you could probably use your fake eyelashes.

If you are just dead set on the fake lashes get a nice eighties church mom dress with big shoulder pads and go as tammy fae baker…this costume of course would be better if you had a jim baker at your side but she is an icon in and of herself so you could pull it off.
