Soooo I still have no costume.

I don't want to buy a costume, but I would prefer to build one out of things I can find in a thrift store.
Like, I prefer obscure costumes- like- Oh, I'm so and so from that movie.

Re: Soooo I still have no costume.

I would give you ideas, but you hate all of mine.

So give me some for Victor. He has the same requirements as you + so and so from that band, etc.

Brain Donor: Get a simple hospital gown or bathrobe. Draw black circles under your eyes and wrap your head in gauze with some fake blood dripping down. Get a clear jar, put small amount of water in the jar with some cauliflower. On the front of the jar put a big label that says 'Brain Donor.' Or just carry the cauliflower and have a 'Brain Donor' tag on your gown.

iPod commercial: Dress in all black, and use black make-up to darken your skin. Strap a piece of fluorescent poster board to your back. Wear an iPod and dance your buns off.

Devil's Advocate: Wear buttons and carry signs that say 'Devil is #1' and 'Vote for *****,' etc.

Refrigerator Magnet: Paint a shoe box black and attach it to your back.

Deviled Egg:

Dress in all white and paint or attach a yellow circle to your stomach. Then wear devil horns and carry a pitchfork.

Babysitter:

Strap a doll to your rear-end and sit on it.

Leaf Blower:

Wear a baseball cap with a leaf dangling down in front of your face. When someone asks what you are, blow on the leaf!

Hot Air Balloon Take an old round laundry basket and cut leg holes in the bottom. Place netting over an extremely large helium balloon and attach it to the rim of the basket. Decorate the balloon and basket with curly ribbon

How about the girlfriend to the character 'Jake' in 'Sixteen Candles,' where she's wearing the purple dress at the party and half of her hair in the back is cut off because it got stuck in the door? You could find some blond wig and cut it, and a similar purple dress is probably available in a thrift store somewhere.

Re: Soooo I still have no costume.

Go as Uma from Pulp Fiction with a nosebleed and a syringe sticking out of your chest. Don't forget the bettie page wig.

Sick as a Dog Dress up in a bathrobe. Have tissues and medicine sticking out of your pockets, thermometer in your mouth, icepack for your head, etc. Make dog ears and a tail out of brown cloth and wear a dog collar that says 'Spike' or something.
