What's your costume?

[Incenjucar]

I did my Halloween thing on Saturday with the local college Japanese apprecation club.

I had originally thought, "Hey, I bet I could be a yuan-ti". So I got some green cream makeup, and some black makeup for around my eyes which, along with some small, narrowish sunglasses, made for 'snake eyes'. Then I added a green long-sleeved shirt with black gloves (OJ style - exact same but one size smaller. Muhah.) so I didn't have to paint my hands green. Then I added a pair of rubber snakes, one over my shoulders, one around my waist. While I barely used them, I also had some rubber vampire fangs, though they would probably work better, upside-down, as orc fangs... Because it was gonna be nippy, and I needed storage, I wore a leather jacket, which also went with my nice black pants. I was a stylin' yaun. Then, I figured, eviler is better. So I took three nice, shiny, red apples from the cafeteria.

In short, my costume: Original Sin. Scared the hell out of some lady on the phone just by sitting in front of the library waiting for my friends. Then, we went to one of those halloween event parks (Haunted house, forest, and hay ride), and the bastards made me wipe all of my makeup off. So I was a guy with a snake and apple fetish in leather. Fft.

The amusing thing was, the girl who ate -all- of my apples also tried to seduce me afterwards... go figure.

I went with my Ren-faire dress this year, since I wore a different outfit to the fest. I'll have to do something really creative next year.

I wore shorts, a cap and carried around a paper paddle. I was dressed as an Orcish Fratboy. Those who have played Kingdom of Loathing will understand the costume. I may use this costume again. Perhaps, next tiume, I'll add fangs and face paint to make myself look more Orcish.

Heh. Gives new meaning to "bible-thumping."

Nah, that would have been if I had caved in to her idea to make out in front of my creepy-preachy roommate who can't make a fricking phone call without saying the G-word.

I went as Dream from the Sandman comics. It worked pretty well considering that it was in honesty a black sheet, a spiky black wig, and gothic face paint. Oh and I managed to get my hands on a fake crow and attach it to my shoulder (was cool, but he kept trying to fall off). And then I went to a wedding (yes, my friends had a wedding on Halloween and insisted that we all dress up)!

Man, we coulda used you last year, when six of us decided to dress up as the Endless (strangely, we couldn't find anyone who wanted to be Despair). As the guy with long red hair, I ended up being Destruction, and got a red flannel shirt and an artist's palette and paintbrushes.

Except that the guy who was supposed to be Dream completely forgot about it, so he showed up with a costume consisting of a black leather trenchcoat (which he always wears anyway) and white face-paint (he's black). Since Dream kind of is the keystone of the whole concept, it fell through, and I was forced to endure people throughout the night compimenting my Bob Ross costume .
