Best costume I saw...

at a bar's Halloween party:
A woman had cut a square of cardboard, cutting a hole in the center for her
head.
She draped fabric over the cardboard to create a tablecloth.
She put a lampshade on her head, fitted with a tiny battery–operated light,
and draped a scarf over her head/lampshade (not covering her face).
On the tablecloth, she glued a couple of plastic champagne glasses (one was
tipped over), a couple of condoms (wrapped and unwrapped); a tube of ky
jelly...
There was a sexy bra draped over the edge of the "table".
She was not just a nightstand...
she was a "One Night Stand"!
I thought it was the funniest, most clever costume I had ever seen.

stretch velvet short jumper, black knee high boots, black tights, homemade
black cat ears (on a headband) and fuzzy homemade black tail which was
affixed to a black stretchy belt. Today, however, I am wearing my mom's
JFK–era tiara; I am the queen of all I survey (mostly laundry and dirty
dishes).

coughed and sputtered, and managed to choke out these words:
at least you can go outside. all my kitties want to know why i
won't let them go outside today; they've been inside all day
long. i won't even let the orange one or the white one out. not
to mention my two black kitties.

For some reason, there were TONS of Dorothies (Wizard of Oz)this year.
Male, female, accurate, kinky, young, old, with dogs, without dogs, etc.
I'm not sure why.
The costume that won the contest, however, was a team costume put together
by two couples. It sounds tasteless (and it was), but it was funny as hell.
One couple was dressed as a doctor and nurse, and they were pushing a
draped gurney. The gurney appeared to carry a woman in a hospital gown with
a sheet draped over her lower body and knees. When they raised the sheet to
show her legs, it turned out that there were a pair of maniken legs giving
birth to the face of a smiling, fully bearded man. The second couple
provided the heads and faces of the woman and the "baby".
But one of the best costumes I saw this year was actually on the Today
show. A man painted his face and exposed skin jet black, was wearing black
hip hop clothes, and had a gleaming white iPod and iPod earbuds. Pretty
cool when he started dancing.
I was disappointed that I didn't see more political costumes, though. I was
hoping to see some clever takes on the candidates and elections.

The best costume I saw today, I actually had to ask before I got it, but
then it was so cool.
A woman came trick–or–treating with her kids. She was wrapped in a big
glob of bright pink fabric stuffed with tissue paper. She basically
just looked like a big glob of pink. She had a old leather boot tied to
her head like a hat.
She was "gum on the bottom of a shoe".

That idea was on one of the talk shows, possibly the Today Show, Friday
morning. It's so easy.

LOL! Thanks for the laugh, that's a very original and imaginative costume.

The best costume at the party I attended, was a guy dressed as a
French maid, black high heels, a wonderful wig, and a lacy dress. His
makeup was perfect.
My favorite costume, was the guy working at the HomeDepot customer
service counter dressed like a Priest. A lot of the employees were
dressed up.

Well, here's one that was political... I saw a tiny little boy who was about
two and a half years old dressed as Uncle Sam in a stroller that a guy
(probably his dad) was pushing. It was one of the cutest costumes I saw all
night. His hat was soooo much bigger than his head. It was a riot. He was
really cute.
The cutest little girl I saw was dressed as redheaded Madeline from the
French storybook and was holding a Madeline rag doll in her hand. She had
the blue dress, the hat with the black ribbon coming down, Madeline's hair
and the perfect Madeline shoes just like in the book. Soooo cute.
I was glad to see this kid because way too many other little girls were
dressed as a princess (in some cheap little dress from Target or Toys R Us)
as Raggedy Ann, or as an angel complete with wings. Many of the girls were
dressed like Liv Tyler in the Lord of The Rings Trilogy.
The coolest female adult I saw was dressed as Amelia Earhart. She had the
same physique and hair and was just pefect for it. The coolest male adult
had on a huuuuuuuuuuuge black afro wig, a really super tight little Levi
navy blue *corduroy* jacket, big baby blue funky early 1970's sunglasses,
hiphugger faded bellbottoms (he was really skinny so they looked perfect on
him) and big chunky platform clogs.
You could see his afro wig from *BLOCKS* away. It was just absurdly enormous
and was so much bigger than his skinny little head. I was laughing quite
hard.

I was too but I hung out in Fells Point, Balto instead of DC Saturday
night so maybe that was why. The only remotely political costume we
saw was someone dressed as Osama.
The three best we saw were:
A guy in a black sweater/jeans w/ box over his head and a window cut
out for his face, holding one of those green plasma balls from
Spencer's, his face made up goth style. He wore a black scullcap w/ a
jeweled headband across it. Sign on his front read "fortune teller"
and he had several people waiting to have their fortunes told.
A guy in a white turtleneck and tights w/ box over his head and window
cut out for his face. The box had a small ledge with a line drawing of
a woman's breasts and a sign on the front saying "mammography
machine". He was with his wife and I can't even remember what she was
wearing but they looked like they were having a great time.
And the best – A 4.5 foot high stuffed "hon" doll, aka, older lady
with pink rollers in her hair and housecoat,complete with hairy legs
and scuff slippers. She was carrying a foam rubber painted trashcan
filled w/ a young guy wearing a white t–shirt. Her legs were of
course "borrowed" from him and since he walked a bit hunched over it
really looked like she was carrying him in the trashcan. Very clever
and cool, and if the crowds trailing after him each time we saw him
were an indication, he probably won a few costume contests.
Me? I copped out and wore one of my RenFest dresses. DH was a cardinal
and I was his wench. DD was dressed as a pumpkin and DH pushed the
stroller. We had some amusing reactions to that :–).
