God. I have a name tag.

(That will make no sense if you didn't watch Buffy, but I know you got it, ME.)

Whou could be Lady GA GA!!-:)

I'm stealing your idea from last year and going as Joan Holloway. (Hey, it's not my idea. My sis-in-law wants us to do a Mad Men theme, so...)

I'm going to be a guy sitting on my couch in the dark ignoring the world.

A mother. I've even got the crazy mom hair for authenticity.

As every year, I shall be the guy at no. 83, who wears the really creepy mask in order to scare away many of the smaller kids, so I have a desk drawer full of leftover candy to last me up until about Christmas. I gotta get my body ready for the winter.

An Indian princess.

A cat and hubby will go as a dog! :)

I'm going to be...



hiding behind the couch hoarding the candy ;-)

A number of years ago, I went as Alice Cooper In Wonderland. Pinafore, black eye makeup, rubber snake...

I'm going to be a cat.

Still laughing at Floyd's parenthetical thought.

I'm always a gypsy or a witch. It's the easiest and I'm kind of a gypsy or a witch anyway.

Floyd, you're a genius.

A friend is going to be Little Edie this year, which I imagine will be fantastic.

An alien menace.

Great minds think alike! I posted the same topic with virtually the same heading within minutes of yours! Let me contribute what I already suggested: a woman with cramps, in flannel pajamas, holding a box of motrin, a TV remote (with a BAD attitude)...

I am of the belief that only kids should dress in costumes for Halloween. Adults look dumb.

That being said, I'm married to someone who thinks otherwise, so I'll be dressed as a pirate or something generic like that! I'll look like a total dork.

I'm going to be Flo from Progressive Insurance. My husband is going to be the Geico Caveman.

Due to financial constraints; I'm going to paint my face yellow, put an old birdcage on my head and go as Tweety.

I'm going to be an Open Salon Editor's Pick since I can't be one in the virtual world, I'll be one in the real world.

I don't "do" Halloween. WYSIWYG.

I'm the devil every year.

If you go out as Amy Winehouse, that essentially gives you license for any kind of excess, right?

the only costume party i'm attending is still coming up. it's a pretty competitive event. winner gets a $250 gift cert to a local high class restaurant. best concept working so far: Dan Aykroyd playing Julia Child. simple really. a big blue dress, a lot of fake blood, a kitchen knife and an $8 pre-roasted chicken.

last year i was sarah palin. i even won a prize! mr strangely was putin.

this year, my husband and i were the yip yip aliens from sesame street. and lest you get the wrong impression, it was his idea.

I was the Lemon Thief, but felt self conscious. I came with a bag of lemons as a prop to show my supposedly ill-gotten gains. But when I got to the party, I felt self-conscious and so did not try to mug any other guests for lemons. (It's an inside joke between me and tnhe hostess, and I didn't really want to go into a lot of silly0-sounding explanations.) Instead, I lost two lemons out of the bag on my way home from the party without realizing it until the hostess emailed me to ask if I'd lost any lemons at her house.

I came as the Lemon Thief; I left as a slightly senile Easter Bunny who forgot what time of year it was. =o)

This'll sound nuts,and I'm a chick,so it makes it sillier :)
I'll be a drag queen.haha!I got the idea from Halloween 2(this year's) and I abosolutely loved the idea.I have a high respect for Jeffree Star(a singer),and I promised myself I'd do it.Not too crazy about the idea now,but, tsk tsk.I'm retarded,yeah?

I may have to take a rain check on this one. I've only just begun to think about how I want to decorate and/or have a few people in.
Hmmmmmm........

a cranky old lady with old candy.

I am going as myself. Believe me, that's scary enough.

My friends and I live in New York, so we're going as the Village People-- the East Village People :) I'm new to Open Salon, and I hope you'll check out my blog. My articles cover culture, literature, fashion and New York events. Thanks!

ms mary e ... i've decided to go out as a vagina this year ... i think i
might just get more ... Rated ... lew

A tourist. In Turkey!!!!

Kemer, here I come.

PS, does anyone know where you get decent priced Tom-tom compatible maps of Turkey?

It's the November Holiday, currently celebrating some 16th century victory over Poland (yep and Putin wants to be better friends with Slavic brethren, like the Poles) but formerly the Great October Socialist Revolution (Russia didn't switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar until after the revolution and Russians are superstitious about celebrating things before their date, so the Great October Socialist Revolution was in November).

My hope is I will one day move to the states before my kids are way too old to trick or treat. The privations of our expat lifestyle.

I have a wonderful hat with eyeballs hanging all over it. It is all I have needed for the last five years. It stops people in their tracks. Ill post a photo. Thanks for this fun post.

Once I was invited to a parents+littlekids party and I wanted to go as something that would scare the parents but not the kids. So I went as the national debt ... full skirt covered with stapled IOUs printed on red paper, big red sash with the current amount on it, Kabuki makeup with a red tear falling from my eye, and heavy manacles on both wrists. (*looking for the photo*)

This year I'm super busy so I'm going in a jacket that has "Mary Sue" embroidered over the pocket. "I'm the heeeeeeroine of my own life!" - a fanfic joke.

I'm a Micky Mouse pumpkin.
