Halloween.
I’m considering my options.
2 years ago, I did Strong Bad. This turned out -quite- well, and the head will forever adorn my closet or other space. Or at least until the web site disappears, something. In fact, I think my Strong Bad was the best SB costumer I’ve seen. :) If I say so myself. And I do.
1 year ago, I was the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. The outfit included streamers of whipped cream, which of course gave the dear hostess fits, but were loads of fun. It won the Toilet Seat Award for Almost Not Sucking and the ire of the host for arriving late, after everyone had cast their votes, for they said I surely would have won. It was huge and bulky, and difficult to navigate through doors, for certain. I did think ahead, though, and did ingenius things that allowed me to sit, breathe, and drink. I should have been naked underneath!
This year, I’m debating new costume ideas. Thus far, my first thought is… well, it wasn’t my original idea, and the image has been co-opted, and I would probably be fairly pissed if I was out-done with the same damned costume.
It seems I can carve foam and felt into just about anything, but I am not exactly experienced with latex face-building material, either. Nor am I a seamstress, negating anything really exciting, outfit-based. My entire outfit last year was “liquid-stitched”, heh.
So. The thought’s on my mind. It goes very well with the whole “tattoo” mental discussion.
And now, time for bed. :) For the first time in quite awhile, I can’t wait to get there, because I expect tomorrow to be full of great stuff.
WiK: My eating habits have much improved, other than the one night of pizza at K.T.’s house. :) The last time I went shopping, I spent remarkably little for what is probably a lot of food, and all of it much better for me (and much less processed) than usual. From breakfast to dinner, I’ve picked foods that I definitely enjoy, but are better for me. This goes perfectly with my other self-improvement habits I am forming. I can see the difference already, but I don’t expect to bring it up on LJ, other than on particularly pleasing days; I’m doing it to increase the range of my abilities when it comes to adventuring, not for vanity.
Speaking of vanity, I think I’ll take my contacts out tonight, so I can wear my supasexysmartguy glasses tomorrow. It seems like a good day for it. :)
NOTE TO SELF: WEDNESDAY – purchase film, test old cameras, develop at 1-hr photo so I can make sure everything works for Sunday.
Cause it doesn’t remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand, what’s mine is ours
If it doesn’t remind me of anything
I adored the Stay-Puft costume!
*grins* thanks! I kinda put myself in the corner for much of the party.
I may actually do something this year. I figured I’ve skipped out on it for the last 5 so why not. Nothing to crazy thou. I have feather wings and cat ears so I thought I could be a griffin.
That’d still be awesome :)
i remember seeing your Strong Bad costume on the web (from the H*R site, and other places) before i met you on unfiction
what that has to do with this year’s costume, i have no clue
can’t wait to see what emerges from the mind of skennedy this year :)
Cool, I was never sure if my costume had actually made it onto the homestar runner website (I know I submitted it).
I’m going as an umpa lumpa. You should be Willy Wonka. We would proportionate! I come up to about your knees, right? ;)
Ehehehehe, problem is, willy was thin. I’m willy after a binge ;)
Right, cause umpa lumpas had huge breasts too! We’d be quite the pair!
When you say “we” do you mean you and I, or Right Breast and Left Breast? ;-)~
