I've always tried to be somewhat innovative with my Halloween costumes. I once dressed up as Monica Lewinsky in the 5th grade when the whole Clinton scandal was going on. It was more my step dad's idea than mine, and I was in essence used as a pawn in a joke aimed toward the staff of my middle school, but I still relished in the attention that I received. The looks on the faces of the teachers and staff were absolutely priceless. It was totally one of those "oh no she didn't" moments. And yes, I totally did.
Naturally I have dressed as a variety of other things as well. Two years ago I was a robot aptly named 'Ms. Roboto'. My suit was carefully styled and detailed, complete with flashing lights and a techno soundtrack. I was the only chick at the Halloween party not dressed scantily clad, causing me to stick out among the crowd of slutty school girls, kinky kittens, naughty nuns and floozy fairies. I wasn't phased one bit by the swarm of miniskirts and stilettos though, for I had something much cooler: a rocket pack strapped to my back. (Sidenote: one of my rockets was tragically ripped off halfway through the night. It was a huge buzz kill.)
Anyway, now I am stuck trying to brainstorm a good idea for this year. I totally blew it last year and ended up borrowing a last minute costume from a friend, one that I am too embarrassed to identify. (Ok, fine! It was a German beer maid costume.) This year, on the other hand, I am determined to come up with something unique and/or witty once again.
So far this is the only thing I have come up with:
 |
| If you don't know what movie this costume references, we are not friends. |
If I can somehow convince B to dress up as Hoggle then I may have yet another winner.
