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.

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 circles—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.
