What are you doing for Halloween?

Morrigoon · 10-25-2005, 11:58 AM

I don't think anything could ever top that H'ween party ism did a couple years ago. I mean, ya just can't beat a half-burned-out psycho-house looking victorian with fog effects! And a rainy night to boot!

I haven't even made a costume (yet). I'm thinking of possibly going as a house (no, I'm not joking, I'll explain in a sec), or as Marie Antoinette, but my time for making a full-on detailed french queen dress with panniers is running painfully short. I could cop out and go as Amidala (if I can find the costume) or as Hermione Granger (again...)

The house thing I thought would be pretty funny because, of course, I work at a real estate company and we're having an office party. So I'd take a very large cardboard box, put a nice angled roof on it, and use one of the flaps at the bottom of the box to make a front yard with our company's for sale sign on it (obviously using string or some other supports to make the front yard stick out). Then, after Halloween, pop the house on to one of the empty desks in my cube and deck it out for Christmas. I thought that'd be pretty darn amusing.

I love the house idea! Very clever!

However..to take the costume from day to night, to sex up the costume for after-office fun, might I suggest you add a lockbox to your "house"? Preferrably locating it where..well, let's just say you should definitely put the "box" in lockbox.

I have to admit that sometimes Ally's posts make me horny

I have been sufficiently bribed to wear my Jessica Rabbit dress to work on Monday. My options were that or Tawny Kitaen (GTMA Claire) but in the end decided as easily as that would win the costume contest I figure I need to wear more clothing to work.

I need tape, and lots of it.

Halloween plans for this year:
--Mickey's Halloween Treat at Disney's California Adventure on Oct. 30.
--Office Halloween party in the daytime.
--Nighttime Halloween party on the 31st, followed by a visit to the Del Mar Fairgrounds "Scream Zone" (House of Horror, Haunted Hayride and 3-D Ghost Maze).
--Halloween costume: Still deciding between dressing up as either Stitch or a member of D.U.H. (the Department of Untapped Hilarity comedy/improv group at Disney's California Adventure).

--Halloween tradition No. 1: Watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."

--Halloween tradition No. 2: Visit a supermarket to buy 50% off candy the day after Halloween.
