Halloween Costume Ideas

It's a bit early, but oh well. What are some great (or at least mediocre) ideas for Halloween costumes? I was thinking of going as a "Redshirt" (Star Trek), but realized that since all the ones I know about are male, it may not entirely work out.

One of my roommates is going to be a pirate (arr!). I usually just get some garb out of the closet, but this year I don't have access to garb, so I've been wondering what I should be. Well, what I can be. After years of my mother making my costumes (or wearing things my mother made earlier), I don't want to buy a costume.

Oh wait I should totally be Sally. Black paint ahoy! And a red wig! I need a red wig! And where could I find a patchwork dress?

I was a honeybee last year. I gelled my hair up into antennae, which was awesome.

The stinger made it a little difficult to sit comfortably, though.

Last year my roommate went as a spy. Her disguise was flawless: none of the teachers even seemed to notice her at all. then she came home and dressed up as Hermione to go with me to The Orphanage.

And I broke my several-year tradition of going as Susan Bones to go as Nancy Drew. If anyone wants to borrow my trenchcoat to do the same, they may. I think there's still a magnifying glass in the pocket.

I postponed posting this post because I was sure I could think of some more awesome costumes. But I'm still drawing a blank. Mayhap I will be back.

Love,
Curlicue, who is going to wear dreadlocks for halloween

I traditionally go as someone with chicken pox or Snow White. Maybe I should combine the two this year.

Dr. Horrible
Charlie Brown
Lucy from Peanuts . . . fashion a psychiatry booth
The state of Utah (I did this in 1st grade! It was made out of foam and I my dad drew landmarks on it. Awesome)
early '60s mod
black eyed pea: blacken your eye and tape "P" to your sweater
U of U cheerleader (at BYU) or vice versa: I did this. Beware the angry rants!
The board has had very good suggestions recently. Just click "search last 3 months" and input Halloween Costumes

My parents were in BYU marching band, and one year they dressed up as members of the U of U marching band. At least one of the costumes is still around somewhere...

This one takes three people. One person dresses up in all-brown clothing. The other two dress up in all-black clothing. The person in brown curls up on the ground in the fetal position. The two people in black round around the first person in circlesâ€”they're dog doo and flies!

My roommates never wanted to do this one. I'm not sure why...

You could go basic like I do: A nudist on strike, perhaps?

Or this one.

I would assume not as she didn't post a link or anything.

I know right? If I didn't have to work on Halloween I think I'd head over to Brooklyn in search of him. Well....them.

I almost offered my condolences for your recent amputations.
