Rooster_Ties Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) At this point I'm thinking I'll just wear my black tuxedo jacket (with tails), over a bright orange t-shirt -- probably with jeans (or maybe my tux pants), and be done with it. That fits the evening, color-wise, and is really simple without being a real "costume" (which I rather dislike having to wear). But if I were going to go with an actual costume (something simple please), any ideas?? I really don't like Halloween parties much, but I've agreed to help with one at our church - since it's a benefit for the handbell choir I direct there. Maybe something where I get to take one or two hand-held props, and suddenly I'm "in costume" - without really having to wear a costume?? Bonus points for something really clever, thanks!! (FWIW, I'm working behind a bar during the party, or at a refreshments table -- far as I know know.) Edited October 30, 2007 by Rooster_Ties Quote
rostasi Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 I once got a large wide sheet of white construction paper; cut a hole for my head and let the paper drape over the front and back of my body. Then, I spread chunky peanut butter on both sides. I went as used toilet paper. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 Hmmm... simple costume, hand-held prop... all you need is a suit, gold chain, beard, sunglasses, and a box! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 Get a pair of overalls and sew a stuffed animal sheep to your crotch. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 People... this is for a church function. We need something wholesome, for the family. C'mon! I nominate going as Space Jesus. Quote
Hot Ptah Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 Pirates are THE hot thing this year. Go to a drug store and buy a plastic sword and other cheapo pirate stuff--it's everywhere. A bandana over your head, your 59 cent eyepatch, $1.99 plastic sword, and you are set to go. Taping a toy stuffed parrot to one shoulder would be the deluxe version of the costume. Quote
JSngry Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 People... this is for a church function. We need something wholesome, for the family. C'mon! Nothing says "church function" like Martin Luther: Get a black beret, a black swarthy sweater, and let the good times roll! Quote
catesta Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 What else? :rsmile: Ha! That costume reminds me of story. Back in the early 90s some friends and I were on our way to a halloween party. Three of us in the car were dressed in gorilla costumes and the fourth dude riding shot gun up front with me was dressed in a chicken outfit. We were riding in a convertible and while stopped at a light, a low rider Monte Carlo full of cholos puilled up next to us. The driver looked over and said " hey,you look fuckin' stupid ése"! "Your homies should cave your fuckin' head in for wearing that stupid ass shit". "That gorilla shit is alright, but you look fuckin' dumb"! Light turns green..... My buddy never got over it. Quote
