My Halloween costume

[tripperfunster]

Well, one of my kids refused to dress up, and the other one refused to let me take a photo of him. *slaps them*

So....since its practically my favourite holiday, I dress up at work.









Needless to say, nobody under 20 knew who the hell I was supposed to be. I had to go to Home Depot and buy some shelves part-way through the day, and I think that most of the people were thinking I was just part of some odd cult with an penchant for odd hairdo's. *eyeroll*Oh, and I made the whole thing myself!

woot! I wore wings and answered the door with my dog, whom was also wearing wings. Needless to say, I think the only person that noticed I was wearing rings was a little kid's dad.

So talented! It looks amazing!

That is piles of adorable!! I love that you made it yourself. And I'm still boggling over the fact that 'Princess Leia' just isn't on the top ten oh costumes for females any longer. I thought that trend would never die, and lo and behold! Thanks a lot, neckless George Lucas.

*hee* You look so tense, all ready to kick some Storm Trooper butt. ;D

That's AWESOME! I went as House.

Oooh, you have the buns and everything! Awesome!

Heeeee! You look adorable!

Ha! Yes, some people just don't 'get' it! I dressed up as Austin Powers one year, and everyone thought I was some weird chick with bad hair. :D

Hee! Thanks! Lucky for me, it was a pretty basic sew-job.

yes, I was out to kick some Imperial ass! :D

too bad the new movies sucked so bad. I had really been looking forward to them. *sigh*

Ha! Did you post pics?? I don't remotely look like anyone on that show (except maybe Chase, and that would be pretty lame, all by himself!)

Ya know...I was tempted to just stick two big cinnamon buns to my head, but I fear that no one would have gotten the joke but me!

Thanks! I must say, I look LIKE CRAP as a brunette! *shudders* I had to draw on my eyebrows to make them show up.

Hey Leia! Your wand looks pretty impressive--no wonder no one bothered you in Home Depot. The expression on your face it the first one is so imperial!

You look AWESOME! :D

I've kinda always wanted to dress up as Leia. Maybe someday when I've grown my hair out enough to have substantial buns... Or maybe, like you said, go with cinnamon buns! I guess I'd have to make them myself to avoid frosting, though... LOL.

I had a great time & hope to post soon. ;D

Well, I wasn't exactly brandishing my light saber there! (although...I was tempted)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

My hair is pretty short, so I just got a wig and bunnulated it!

Oh, this is amazing. How is it I keep missing your posts? You've blocked me haven't you? ;D

My best friend is a costume designer and she used to make costumes for my daughter every Halloween. Naturally, Katie refused to trick-or-trick or pose for photos and was an all around pain-in-the-ass (like mother, like daughter) during Halloween itself, but played with the costumes endlessly afterwards.

She's 21 btw, and thought you were dressed as a disgruntled bride. Um, yeah.
