Not for the faint of heart or those at work.

Lol! Not bad, Kevy! Though, you should have shaved your legs.


I was thinking of going as a Gothic school girl., but, alas, my skirt is way to short. Someone washed it then stuck it in the dryer. Now it comes up to my butt.

And it was my favorite skirt!

Oh well, now I'm going as a vampire. That should be fun and hopefully next year I'll be the Gothic school girl.

Even that could cause problems if the kids are creative enough (and I am sure kids will find creative ways to mess with faculty at school [although I never did ]).

For example, girls could go as Lady Godiva as she took her protest ride. Boys could go as Cohen the Barbarian.

Character in the Terry Pratchett series of books. Very funny character.

Basically, he is a spoof of a heroes - what they would be like if they survived and got old.

Actually, that sounds just about perfect.

My Tony Stark costume is coming along nicely. I made the mold for the arc reactor, bought the plastic, mounted the LEDs on the back plate. I just need to solder the circuit and assemble it all together. And I started growing the beard 2 weeks ago.

I'm keeping everyone at work in the dark about my costume. I want it to be a surprise. So I'm currently growing a full beard just to throw people off. So far the guesses are Obi Wan Kenobi (I great idea that I'm saving for another time), Chewbacca, an ewok. One guy did guess that I was making a full Iron Man costume. So close.

I would wear it, but, mom wouldn't let me, due to the fact that we're having my guy friends over and last year was fun with my KH2 Kairi costume since it was short. Luckily, I wore tights with it.

Cool! A Tony Stark costume. Great idea!

Right on, mom! You'll have lots of years to wear costumes with tiny skirts, ToriBear, no worries. (It seems that's all they sell for adults these days!) But I bet your vampire costume will be fun. Is it a Twilight-specific vampire? (I'm getting excited for the movie.)

I'm going as one of my characters from Shall we bite?, more or likely Aza.

(I'm getting excited for the movie too! I just saw the new trailer. It's looking awesome!)

I'm having that problem with my Jem costume. I cut the asymmetrical "slant" on the dress WAY too high. Indecently high. Now instead of looking for white/silver sparkly nylons, I'm looking for leggings. Do you know how hard those are to find in 2XL? (As they say, spandex is a privilege, not a right). I may cheat and get some shorts or something. Not very Jem-like, but I have too big a butt to purposely expose it.
