Oh, how I do love Halloween.
Last year, I was "Trojan Man". Got the cape, boots, gauntlets, belt, and made this sick helmet out of a hardhat and pipe cleaners. I went around macking on all the ladies and handing out rubbers. I've got a picture of me handing rubbers to some cops. That night ended with two chicks in my bed and my GF walking in and breaking it up.
V: "Aww... don't be like that. There's room for one more!"
No dice.
The best costumes always have some sort of interaction. The year before, I sewed up a grey sweat suit and made a cool head piece and went as "Pin the Tail on the Donkey". I had the donkey suit, and a handful of tails that would stick to my butt with velcro.
... Man. I got my butt, nutz... everything grabbed so many times that night it was sick. Of course, I didn't let any guys play, nor did they ask to. Oh, and the "hung like a donkey" and "don't be such an azz" jokes flowed like water.
HB: "What are you supposed to be?"
V: "Pin the tail on the donkey. Wanna play?"
HB: "AWESOME!!"
V: *hands tails, puts on blindfold*
You've got enough time, do some serious thinking about what will get party-goers to touch/hug/rub you. Kino... Have enough interaction to keep them around for a while.
Personally, I don't need to think too much about it: The donkey costume is in the closet still.
Take something, like a party game or an icon and twist it a bit.
Oh man, I JUST thought of the sickest costume... I better get sewing. Twist...
I'm going as a twister board this year... with different color dots all over a white outfit. And, I'll carry around a spinner!!!
Man, I love Halloween!
