Aight, dicks, I know it is way early for this, but I want a costume thread because I am doing this right and proper this year and I am making an awesome costume since I have been hella lazy the last couple of years. The problem is, I am not entirely sure what to do! I have a few ideas, but there are some problems with all of them that I am not sure how to work around, and I am pretty much ambivalent about almost all of them anyway.

1) Constellations. This is a pretty good group costume idea, I think, and would make a great masq set. I have access to faerie lights and fabric paint and other things I can make white and/or silver for most of my options. However, these might make better masquerade costumes, maybe, and I throw a masq thing for Mardi Gras every year, so I am undecided about using them now and coming up with something else for FebruaryMarch.
   a. Vulpecula (the fox). I have a fox tail and ears, but I am not sure what else the costume would consist of. Do I essentially make it like a furry?
   b. Cygnus (the swan). The costume shop down the road has nice quality and inexpensive white feather wings, but again, I am not sure what else to include.
   c. Corvus (the raven). Again with the wings, but in black. This might be the simplest one, because it would probably be something very similar to this.
   d. Scorpio. A dominatrix-y thing in black (or white could work, I guess), it was the first idea I had on account of I am in the middle of "Legend of the Seeker" and the Mord Sith are fucking hot. I could get some coathanger wire to flip that braid up over the back of my head like a scorpion tail with a stinger, too. The only problem is that I get the distinct impression that even if I had time to finish this (unlikely), and even if I made it all instead of buying it, it will be prohibitively expensive to try and do it in such a short time frame.

2) Sexy ChuckNorris.
--- Quote from: Meebo ---[01:18] emilio: but see, "sexy chucknorris" is in itself an indictment of the current trend of making "slutty X" costmes
[01:19] emilio: and also a chance to dress as slutty chucknorris
--- End quote ---
But I still don't know where to get a hairy chest wig thing.

3) Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins. Specifically, her concept art. I know how to make a glowy orb thing I could use, but it is complicated and requires me to know someone who can weld.

4) Something punny. Last year at Dragon*Con there was a guy walking around in a cardboard eggshell with tiny devil horns and a tail, which was pretty great. Someone this year had a babydoll strapped to their butt and sat on it a lot. One of my friends carried around a cereal box and a meat cleaver. I am also fond of the "grim rapper" concept, but I haven't yet hit on anything that I simply must do.

Anyway, input would be great! Also I will totally update with progress and construction photos once I get started.

scarred:
isn't "sexy chuck norris" kind of redundant?

jodizzle:
One of my friends is having a halloween themed party on the 1 October (just for somnething different).  But I wanted a costume I could wear as normal clothes so I am going as a very lazy Batgirl, derby hotpants essential.  Now I got the booty  may as well show it off when I'm not on skates!

This was no help to you at all Katie.  I apologise.

A Wet Helmet:
And in furtherance of the "no help at all" aspect of this thread, I've been saying for years that this is the year I'm going to go as Gordon Freeman (as there is certainly a passing resemblance) but then I never get around to making the costume. 

Lines:
The constellation idea could be pretty cool if you got a few other people in on it. I see it being a really good group costume theme.

I personally am going to be Death from Sandman. Hopefully people will not think I'm dressing as a goth or something, but I think enough people I know have read that comic.
