...so, what are your costume ideas? I swear, if any of you post stupid shit, I'm going to hunt you down and eat your face. Be creative. I don't want to hear about "this cool dracula costume I bought at a party store." Some of my thoughts (that wouldn't be too difficult to do, or would be difficult, but would be WELL worth it):
1) Superman t-shirt
Baggy blue jeans
A Mexican flag cape
excessive jewelry
perhaps a weedeater or something of the sort (assuming I'm not too lazy to carry it around)
Slicked back hair, a thin, 2-day moustache
Ta-da. I'm Supermang. Works well on paper, and it's really easy. Last resort.
2) Metal, cardboard, or foam cylinder wrapped around me (if either of the latter two: painted silver)
A couple of CamelBaks filled with beer
A tap somehow attached to my head, with said CamelBak tubes running up to it
...or, no tap, and the CamelBak tubes simply running out of the cylinder.
Whadda you know, I'm a working Keg. Sure to be a hit at any party, but too much work (to make it look at all real, which is the key).
3) Angel wings
Devil horns
A cutesy cat's face painted on
A schoolgirl from the waist down
A white t-shirt with the words "Every fucking girl at this party" written in large black letters.
4) A large, brown coffin made of cardboard or foam
A Superman logo painted on the front
Again, likely too difficult, but it would only be the best one-way-ticket-to-hell costume EVER.
5) Likely the hardest of all, as you'd have to find somebody who can sew, but...manage to do the 2-face look as half you, half woman. Do half of your face in a fuck-buddy's makeup. Find an old shirt and pair of jeans that you don't wear. Cut them in half, right down the middle. Find a large dress at a thrift store. Cut it in half. Sew the two together to form one outfit. One tennis shoe, one woman's shoe (if possible...a high-heel would be too uncomfortable, and it would be really hard to find thrift store womens' shoes to fit you anyway). Wear a half of a woman's wig.
6) A ridiculously easy copout of a costume for those invited to a party at the last minute: the ever-popular dress yourself up like a gift with the tag "To: Women, From: God"
7) Easiest of all: the drunk, beligerant college kid. Also works well if, for drunken kicks, you decide to go door to door with some friends. You can explain to all of the homeowners that you're dressed up as "an inebriated and broke college kid who wants one person to just give him some motherfucking candy without making him explain his costume."
8) For the women: a guy's button down shirt, buttoned incorrectly (you know, buttons fastened one or two holes up, so the shirt is crooked). A nice pair of pants/skirt and nice shoes. Nice make-up and your hair all done up -- then roll around in the bed. A nice sparkly purse (to match the bottom half of your ensamble) with a bra hanging out of it.
Voila: you're the walk-of-shame.
10) For the likes of Devin or Nick, the lean guys...go as Leonard Shelby (the guy from Memento). Really, really easy costume. You go shirtless, with whatever pants from whatever scene (preferably off-white suit pants, if you can find some in a thrift store). Use a marker (one that won't bleed when you sweat, since it was fucking 94 degrees outside today) to carefully write on the tattoos that he had. Get a Polaroid camera to hang around your neck and/or carry around. Spike up your hair. To get all of this right, you'd likely have to rent the movie and pause it (you know, to see where the tats are and what they say). Easy, easy stuff, though.
11) If you can get a priest's outfit and one of those things that they sell in antique malls (the thing that looks like a kid pouting in the corner) you can make a GREAT little-kid-blowing-the-priest costume.
I don't feel like going on any longer. I'll probably end up dressing up as #3...unless any of you post something better (and just as easy) for me to steal.
