museeumchick Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 oops, its mufti day at work and i forgot never mind, my excuse shall be that the wild things dont come out till after dark. Anyhow, just wondering if anyone else shall be dressing up? and as what? I am going as the sandman/dream from the Neil Gaiman comics (beginning to wonder if anyone but the other comic book geeks will get it). :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I wish! I was going to, but have to go to an all-weekend workshoppy thing with Forest & Bird. While I am sure it will be interesting, I am rather annoyed it is the same weekend. I love excuses to dress up (despite evidence to the contrary at your party...)

Southerrrngirrl Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I love dressing up! Halloween is fun to dress up for but no one in our group of friends seems to be having a party this year.. despite it being a friends birthday today.. I haven't dressed up for anything at all this year but in previous years I've been: Felicity Shagwell (hubby went as Austin Powers) An angel A nun (hubby went as a priest. Oh the sister/father jokes we wore) and 3 times as a witch Oh and there was also a rock themed party i just dressed up as a sort of generic goth/rock chick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetu Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm going to dress as the Stig off Top Gear. Nice and simple - white paper overall (a protective suit from a hardware store) and a white helmet with tinted visor. Recently I went to a Seven Deadly Sins party dressed as an angel. It was great fun being in character and being shocked at everyone else's costumes. I kept saying "oh dear! I think I'm at the wrong party!"

Ira Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 If I were to dress up I'd want a superman style costume with a big O on the front. Then I could go around telling people what their costumes are and they can say, "Thank you Captain Obvious!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I dressed up as a gypsy last night for work. Was really cool sorting mail as usual next to witches, devils, angels and a gorilla. My outfit won 3rd prize next to the Joker from Batman, and a Vampire. **edit** pics added!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketman Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 i was going to go as a red indian, got my mohawk painted blue, yellow and 2 red stripes down the side of my head, then i couldnt find a bow and arrow or any little kids indian set (HEY WHAT THE?!) so i made a beak out of cardboard and went as a parrot of sorts... only later did i realise the blue and yellow were water based and the red was acrylic... i still have red racing stripes... >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museeumchick Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I had black acrylic paint in my hair and it came out alright, mostly it looked fantastic! with this really vivid colour, and setting paint is fun to style but it did look like i had filled the bottom of the shower with concrete mix when i tried to wash it all out (white bubbles +black paint flecks) and i am still finding bits every time i comb my hair. Although i can understand the lingering red, as red is one of the most tenacious colours to get out of anything (=the best temporary hair dye as it lasts the longest). enjoy your stripes.

FreedingFrenzy Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 My friend had a "Rock" party, so me and my boyfriend went as Brody Dalle and Josh Homme (respectively)... Not sure if many [any] of you would know who they are... I might post pics, though admittedly we look quite funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
