Title: Halloween Costumes
Post by: Ryno on August 15, 2011, 09:19:47 PM
I work at Value Village, where Halloween is apparently a bigger deal than the Christmas/Hanukkah/Yule/etc. season. So of course, we're expected to dress up for like, a whole month. I usually don't get crazy about halloween, if I have to, I would throw on a pair of kitty ears or dress like a hobo (not really a costume since all my clothes are old and ratty but it seems to pass as a costume).

Anyway, I'm dressing up this year. And probably using a few different ideas, slowly progressing from simple, small costumes like a hat, tie, tail, weird outfit to, finally, a full-blown awesome costume.

I'm thinking 40's gangster, Al Capone style. Never done it before and I love suits. I'm also going to throw on a cheesy mustache or beard, that will intentionally look fake. Or I might nerd it up and invest in a cosplay outfit, which I've also never done.

Who else is going to be dressing up this year? For work, parties, school?

I know, I know! I am already getting depressed about the sun setting earlier each day and it being mid August, but we must find something to look forward to.

hahaha I guess it is a little early but I'm hoping to get some cool costume ideas ... my store rolls halloween out right at the beginning of Sept. and I have 6 weeks of costume fun so I want inspiration :D And dressing up is fun. :)

I love costumes O-O

I'm still debating what to do this year. Depends on if I have a party to go to or what not, and who's party.

I'd love to be Anubis this year though.

I changed my mind... I'm dressing up as an aviator, with the dorky cap and goggles. :) That'll be my final "Actually-On-Halloween" costume... in the meantime I'll just use that month as an excuse to break the company's dress code :D

Oh. just remembered, as for my more funny costume, I'll probably go as a redneck/white trash. mullet, wifebeater, and all
