Is anybody going to have a costume for Halloween or a Halloween party? I am in the process of making a Rorschach costume. If you don't know who that is go read "Watchmen" by Alan Moore, not only is it a great graphic novel, but Rorschach is an incredible character.

Anyway, is anybody going to celebrate Halloween this year with a costume?

I was going to be Italian Spiderman, but so far I haven't found a shirt, yet. I will be in Austin on Halloween watching a live play of Night of the Living Dead. Then I will probably go to 6th Street.

Is your buddy going as Two Face from The Dark Knight?

Now that would be a hard costume to pull off...

Even if my mates were doing a halloween party, I wouldn't have the foggiest idea of who/what to dress up as...it'd have to be practical for drinking of course! :p

i used to have a michael myers mask a long time ago, but ended up selling it. i have recently purchased a much better quality one, but i doubt it'll be here in time for halloween, as each mask is custom made. i guess there's always next year, huh? anyway, here's a pic:

My sisters going as a Sailor Moon. By that I mean wearing white thigh-highs and red high heels with it and come on, look at her, what isn't sexual about that costume, by jove.

As for me I don't think I'd get away with that outfit, not with these hips.....guess I'll do society a favor and stick to the traditional ghost bedsheet.

I'm out of the military now, but a co-worker (Army reservist) dared me to come to work in uniform today as a Halloween costume. So here I sit in DCUs (desert camouflage), while he is working in BDUs (woodland camouflage) with a kevlar helmet.

I have the scarf, its just tucked into the coat, I made it with the extra material from the mask (I bought way too much). The band I have been planning to get, but decided to get it another time.

i literally worked from sun-rise to sun-set today, and have to get up early to drive three hours to a football game tomorrow....so i didn't end up getting all pat bateman'd up like i'd planned, and ordered my kick-ass mask too late for it to arrive this year.

next year, however, is in the bag. trust me.

Liam went as the ghost of Kurt Cobain. I think i take credit for half of this really, it was his idea but I did his makeup, cut his hair (it was waist-length about 10 minutes before this photo was taken), lent him the sunglasses and knitted the jumper (ages ago, not on the night, obviously) and even photoshopped his hand to match his face :P

Nifty costumes folks.

Bassman - who is the dude next to you supposed to be? I'm sure if you said, I'd probably get it, but I just can't figure it out ... unless it's something that hasn't reached the UK, then I'm never gonna get it. :)

Chic - top effort from you and the man.

Also - perhaps you've had a mild allergic reaction to something? I only say as when I was suffering quite a bad bout of allergic reaction, my lips would occasionally swell up - not very nice at all, but if I'd had the very worst version of the allergy, which fortuntely I did not have, your eyes lids could swell up ... ... so perhaps that could be an avenue of though, a mild allergic reaction?

Then again, I'm certainly no doctor, but thought I'd chip that in.

Now I think about it, if it's anything it's probably a reaction to me bleaching my teeth at home, like the scrubber I am. I think I would rather have a big fat tongue than yellow teeth though. I think :confused:

05-Nov-2008, 05:27 PM
Ewww, teeth bleach?

I duno why, it kinda wigs me out, I have visions of teeth getting burnt down to stumps or going see-through or something ... and then I think about the smell of bleach, which is well rank ... but I know it's not the same thing, but still, bleach does stink doesn't it? :D

Aye that could be the answer then, a reaction to 'teef-bleach', makes sense anyway.

...

Or you could just always hang around in that dark light stuff or whatever it's called, because then all teeth look really white. :) Totally practical as well, I'm sure of it! :D

Don't you believe it. I've seen people's teeth glow yellow or even green under clublight :stunned:

This year instead of going as a Ghostbusters only I decided to switch it up a bit. I'm hitting a contest in my current GB suit(been working on a new one with lights and sound, btw) and I'm currently beginning work on another costume/suit for another party. I'll give a hint to see who gets it...
