My husband and I will be going to an adult Halloween party. I have searched for ideas and know all about the pirates, the gangster...all of the ideas on the "Party City" website.
I want to hear if anyone comes up with different ideas.
I don't want to be something frumpy. I barely go out, feel old as it is, so I would like something to make me feel pretty If you need measurements, I am 5'5 and about 125 (hopefully will be a little less by then). I'm not big chested so no Pam Anderson. I have red hair (pic in profile). I don't feel comfortable with shorts or a skirt right below my booty unless my legs can be covered by dark tights...and then it would be ok.
My spouse is 6'3. About 197. Dark hair (but balding spot in the back-thank GOD he's tall because no one sees it unless he sits).
The best one for your budget as well as originality is to go "ready for bed." You don't really have to buy anything except maybe some facial cream - you know, the hardening type that turns into a mask. Put your hair in over sized curlers, have fuzzy animal slippers on your feet, wear pajamas or a nighty with bathrobe. Your husband can do the same. Admittedly, he might have to buy some pajamas. I don't think a t-shirt and undies would be a good thing to be wearing in the event you get in an accident on the way to or from the party.
I, too, will be watching this thread for ideas -- I've come up with zero for costumes for this year. Last year this was us as Travelocity's Traveling Gnome (and you can't see me because I'm in the suitcase as a TSA agent.)
Our neighbors are going as Twister and Operation (the games). They found their costumes at Wal-mart and Target. They also considered being Operation and a Doctor.
Windy days... glue gun leaves along one side of clothes (that you can toss obviously!), light weight coat hangar in the bottom hem of the jacket to keep it open, blow dry hair all to one side and spray the heck out of it to keep it there.
One year we both went as Loveboat refugees... haunted the Goodwills and used clothing stores to find as much 70's style dressy clothing as we could, got the old orange life jackets and printed Loveboat across the top of them, hair and makeup all bedraggled as if we'd had to plop into the water during dinner with the Captain.
Your picture looks like Samantha Stevens from Bewitched. Would your husband make a good Darren?
Hey, I just saw that your name is Mrs. Bewitched after I was done typing that.
You could also go as an electrical plug and socket.
I changed my name partly due to some CD people saying I looked like her! That might be an option.....
Keep them coming!
