« on: October 02, 2009, 01:26:39 PM »

Is anyone dressing up for Halloween this year?  Whether its taking kids trick or treating or parties or passing out candy?


Mike and I are gonna dress up.  I think I might go as a Gypsy.

Poor Nathan wanted me to be Queen Amadala from Star Wars LOL

This year I'm dressing as a pervert. Hey, at least it's not an expensive costume- I already have all I need in the closet.

peace,

My coven normally dresses up for Samhain turning it into a weird combination ritual and Halloween party. I am not into dressing up but the women outnumber me, if I show up without a costume they will stick some silly ears or such on my head. The abuse that I have suffered over the years is amazing, if they can get me looking ridiculous enough and undignified they have to take a picture.

We are hosting a party for some of the neighborhood kids and their parents.  After the party, the kids will hopefully be able to all go trick or treating as a big group.  I will of course be dressing up.  What fun is Halloween without the costumes?!  :D

I'll probably dress up ... not sure as what though.  The 'ole standby is a witch. :D

Since I have a few dance costumes in my closet, I think the bellydancer thing is sort of a given...

For a number of years now I've been having my folks and best friend and her family over for a seasonal dinner. Then we walk with the kids while they trick-or- treat -- we usually just steal various ears and hats from their dressup bin for the adults. I might invest in another pair of those fantastic witchy false eyelashes. I wore ones with glitter one year but I love the variety they have. Gypsy fortune teller would be an easy fun one... just have to find some tarot cards.

You know, I am just so over the Halloween thing.  ***grumbled like the old crone I am***  I'll just sit back and enjoy pictures of your, your kids', and your dogs' costumes.

I will, however, do my annual respects to my ancestors who have passed.  Samhain is actually a very spiritual holiday for me.  I am looking forward to it.

Well last year I finally got to be what I've been dying to be since I was a kid: Little Red Riding Hood. So this year I'm at a loss.

I've considered: witch, Lara Croft, gypsy, Wednesday Adams (something else I've dwelt upon as a child,) a Candy-Land game board, Joe and I ask a joke said we could all be the 5 food groups and make a pyramid...

HOWEVER, today Joe texted me and asked me if I could please, please be The Nanny... I told him to find me a piano key skirt and then I'd do it. His response, "Tell me the Salvation Army wouldn't have one of those..." :whistle: We love that place. I got this crazy pink, black and white skirt with circles all over it from there. Half the stuff there is dated and awesome.

So, who knows...

I'm totally dressing up and going to a party.  My friends own a bar (hole in the wall basement bar haha) and have a Halloween party every year for the expat crowd (Germans still only do it minimally and you have to be 'scary'....boring).  I was going to make something but I'm kind of sewed-out from all the other stuff I make, so I'm going as Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Leather pants, angora sweater, cross necklace, wooden stake...done.

I'm not sure what exactly I'm going for Halloween this year. I might dress up, but my biggest concern will be spending my one year anniversary with my hubby.  :loveheart:

I'd love to be able to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters and to dress up and decorate the house for the festivities. I'll definitely be having a private ceremony for myself to honor the Goddess and God, as well as those that have passed and to welcome in the new year.

Have you tried thrift shops? You'd be amazed what you can find in some of those tiny little stores tucked away in corners where you can barely see them. I always make my costumes out of things I already have, too. I seem to collect interesting pieces of clothing.  :D

I agree with Moonblade's idea. My girls recently needed medieval princess costumes so we went to the Salvation army and they each got pretty small women's skirts and camisoles. I bought an extra skirt that matched and turned it into long flowing sleeves with minimal sewing. If you sew, you could find a piece of white clothing at the thrift store and turn it into the puffy sleeves you desire if you cannot find a top that will work as it is.
