You can dress me up (but you can't take me anywhere)

I'll be attending a Hallowe'en party on Oct. 31 and I'm having some trouble coming up with an idea for a costume this year, so I'm asking for your help.... and this time there's a REAL PRIZE up for grabs!

The criteria:
1. No rented costumes.
2. Preferably something I can make myself for under $25
3. Must be easy to get in & out of
4. Must not contain the word "sexy" (i.e. - sexy angel, sexy devil, sexy construction worker) - I already got it goin' on people, so desperate cries for attention shall not be required.

So leave your brilliant suggestions in the comment thread, and if yours is chosen, you'll win a tasty one-of-a-kind keychain or Original Belt Buckle (your choice) from our slamtastic style sponsor, Barbie's Basement Jewellery, featuring the icon of your choice! Check out their awesome catalog, you're gonna find something you love. If you're not already the envy of all your friends, this will put you right over the top.



The Winner will be announced on Friday, October 24th, and just so we're clear, the winner will be asked to e-mail me their shipping address so I can send the prize. There's no skill-testing questions (lucky for you), but if you're not willing to provide your address, please don't enter the contest and toy with my mind.



In the event that all your ideas suck and I end up going with my own creation, all entrants' names will go into a hat and one will be drawn randomly by Canada's famous Glitterwhores, Trixie & Beever of BBJ (pictured at left).

Go as a ceiling fan. Write "Go Ceilings!" on the front of your shirt. Add other gear if you want (pom poms, big foam finger, etc.) And cheer a lot.

if you put big clumps of dust on your arms it would help with the Sexy Ceiling Fan idea.

I actually have an idea, but I'm going to email it to you because it's the best idea ever and only one person per country per halloween is allowed to be it.

I'm going to be it for the US so you're good as long as you stay as Canada

Go as a Q-Tip: Wear a white sweat suit (or white long-sleeved shirt and white pants), glue cotton balls to a white bathing cap, wear that on your head, and tape cotton balls around your ankles.

If you want to be a sexy Q-Tip, just wear black underwear so everyone can see.

Go as David Duchovny and hit on everything that moves.

The question I have is which one is you on your Flickr photos? You guys look like you have a great time.

katrocket said...

You guys are cracking me up!

Zibbs: We do have a great time! I'm usually taking the photos, so I don't think I'm in any of them.

Why aren't any of my ideas ever taken seriously?

How about an unsexy Catholic school girl? Like that's even possible.

A princess! No one is ever a princess.

Try and make a bag lady sexy, although if you wanna go scary, you could always go as a latter-day Madonna. Better start pumping iron now!

T said...

Go as yourself... -it can't get any sexier!

Jana said...

How about going as Aunt Jemima? (of the syrup fame) Tie your hair up in a red bandana, put on makeup black face, a bandana around your neck, tablecloth skirt, work boots. Cheap, fast and easy to get out of. Doesn't say sexy to me.

Jana said...

Another cheap idea - a scarecrow.
Glue/staple/tie strips of brown paper grocery bag to inside of the hat to cover your hair and resemble straw hair.
Rag-bag clothes, oversized and stuffed to resemble a scarecrow, also adds mystery to your shape and allows hiding places for booze bottles down the legs of the pants. Work boots here too.
Of the two, I liked this one best

I suggest you go as Moi Rene All you need is to buy is a green wig, then cut holes in a black top and tights, slather some make up on and you're good. Oh, and you might want to get some lame ass dancers for full effect.

I am seriously considering dressing up as a McKenzie Brother. I can be Bob, you can be Dave! (That's totally not sexy). It has the added bonus of allowing you to drink beer all night.

Go as Palin!! Wear a bright pink skirt suit, say You Betcha! and Meverick about 90 times per conversation and attach a giant $150,000 price tag to the skirt

Voila

Go to a Salvation Army store, get the worst suit jacket you can find, the worst tie (that doesn't match the jacket), fake white goatee...voila! Don Cherry!

Look at me, flaunting my Canadianness!
