We'll see which one I resemble

Haha... I'll post a picture for grins and giggles this weekend and let you decide!

I like to go as scary things for Halloween, though "cute" is very tempting, as is old movie stars. I'll save that for Day of the Dead (Mexican Holiday celebrated here)

I just decided to make masks this year, like masquerade masks. I need something fast, fun, easy and cheap. So, I am an artist, and it sounds like the perfect thing with Halloween being so close and all. It's cheap, and there's not much to it.

I got the idea from going through my bookmarks, and finding http://www.goblinart.com . She has tutorials on there under the FAQ section on how to make masks like she does. I can't wait to get started They remind me so much of the Labyrinth. I'm going to make a Goblin/Gremlin mask :eusa_clap

I have no idea about vintage Halloween costumes. I'd like to imagine they might've gone dressed in traditional outfits, like ghosts, mummies, black cats, prisoners, vampire, werewolf, maybe a zombie or two? These are the sort of things I can imagine for long ago, but I can't say for certain.


And if you're going as Buddy Love, that'd be awesome, maintcoder!

I'm wearing my Victorian mourning dress I made. Here's pics and the dress diary.

Wow, very impressive.

How accurate is the construction etc of this dress compared to an original period piece?



Cheers,

hi everyone! i'm fairly new here. but i have been reading the forums and enjoy it very much. well as for halloween. it's one of my favorite holidays. and last year my boyfriend and i went as lucy and ricky. this year we are going as june carter and johnny cash.

June Carter and Johnny Cash--pure brilliance.

I'm always trying to get my sweetie to go as Fonzie from the infamous "Jumping the Shark" episode. Have him in a leather jacket, swim trunks, motorcycle boots and carrying a little stuffed shark. And I'd go as Pinkie Tuscadero. Yeah!

But he won't do it. Sigh!

So, I have no idea what I will go as this holiday season. But I have an appointment in the city, so I will probably not even have a chance to go out. Ah well...

The annual theme party tonight is the Mexican Day of the Dead. Humpf. Since hubby is overseas, I'm still going as Mrs. Peel.

I have to work the closing shift at my store. We close at 9:30, so I'm not going to go anywhere.
I'm going to wear appropriate dresscode (all black w/green toolbelt) but do it 40's style. [huh]

It is a shame you can't get him to play along.

Halloween costumes

Does anyone here still dress up for Halloween? I do! I'm not ashamed or shy, its the only day out of the year I can dress however I want and people appreciate it! Its a shame people don't celebrate Holidays as serious as they used to.
Anyway, here's some new costumes for 2009 I found online. I'm happy to see them getting in some Pin Up costumes.

Torn Between 2 Evils...

I'm a young chicky and well, sometimes, i feel that halloween costumes are getting smaller and smaller, what's becoming the difference between halloween costumes and lingerie? I was out a week before halloween last year and there was a girl wearing NO LIE a bra and panties. Around where i live, it's almost the one day a year where ladies can wear next to nothing and not be called "sluts".

I prefer to just wait until a few days after halloween and buy the candy for half price

Besides...if all people were wearing was lingerie...then EVERYDAY is halloween with my man

Holy cr@p. I've not seen that here, its the south and people are a little prudish here. I know what you mean about them getting smaller! NOt only in size but the amount of fabric used!!!! I couldn't wear the ones I've posted (I'm a size 16-18) but I do like the vintage inspired look. It's too bad traditional home made costumes don't make the scene anymore. Something like these

Halloween is the the only holiday we celebrate - it's our wedding anniversary and my hands down favorite holiday EVER.

Here's us from 2007 ago giving out candy (the red-riding hood costume had been mine a few years before this but it's too big now (yay!) so it's his, lol.

and Halloween of 2004:

and our BEST Halloween together 2003:

 

[*martini*time*]

I'm the prudish girl around here at halloween. Usually, i go as something obscure. I was office supplies last year.

Inky, beautiful wedding photo. Just beautiful.

 

[JennyLou]

I plan on making a costume this year but still haven't decided what.

I love halloween so much!

I like to dress up as something really random, then make it Halloweeny by adding blood!

I was a ladybird last year, and to my dismay there were SIX other ladybirds!

This year I'm going to be Jessica Rabbit I think.
