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 gonna be old.
My kid turns 18 that day.

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)
