Not a lot of mainstream female characters in the batman universe so she just went as a nun.

(and that dude is a female btw.)

What about Harley Quinn? And hey, that woman as the Penguin apparently went above and beyond to keep the theme. All I can think of is the episode of Venture Bros where they attended a costume party as Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and The Batman (Or Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and The Batman).

So here is the text of the flyer for the ... thing I'm attending tonight.

Samhain Celebration
Join us for an evening of MAGIC and DIVINE PLAY

Come as God, Goddess, Ancestor, or ally. Come embodied as the specific energy you would like to carry into the coming year - as we enter the time of death, and ultimately rebirth. Bring an offering to share - one for the death altar - one for an altar to the living. Bring: drums, food, instruments, flowers, your most divine mysterious self, and love. Ritual at 11:11 PM to midnight.

For the ritual: bring something to burn as a symbol of your death, and a candle.

No alcohol please.

----

Basically I'm really excited but kinda wary. I don't have any costume-y clothes so I think I'll go with face paint. Not sure exactly what I'll look like. Maybe there will be pictures later.

No costumes or parties, but I had to carve a pumpkin.

It's a haunted house--there's a ghost inside!

I have finally finished our Family Guy costumes! Tonight we shall wear them. Unfortunately, the rest of my Halloween-ing has kinda failed so far (it's only 9pm though).

We were scheduled to work late tonight, but I know there are a bunch of kids who live in our apartments and across the street. I still wanted to be able to do some of the trick-or-treat thing, so I got a bag of candy and a pumpkin-shaped bag to put it in. Robert hung it up on the door when he left the house at 4:45 this afternoon, with a little note on it that said "We have to work late tonight, but we wish you a Happy Halloween!" But we turned out to have extra people at work so I got to leave, and by the time I got home - at 6:20 p.m.! - some asshole had taken all the candy. I went out and got more, but now nobody's come by. It's all very disappointing.

People downstairs are having a costume party. When I was coming home earlier, people in the elevator were quizzing me on what they were dressed as. Now I'm kinda jealous.

maxusy3k · « **Reply #258 on:** 31 Oct 2008, 19:44 »

I just got home.. lots of people thought my costume was awesome, which was pretty cool! I should have pics later. There was a bit where I was like "It is a harlequin outfit" and somebody was like "Harley Quinn?" which led to more conversation (mainly about how I was not a girl) but that was about as eventful as that.

In terms of actual funtiems, it was kind of a washout because, predictably, I did what other people wanted me to do and not what I wanted to do, so it ended up kind of sucking, and I didn't spend nearly as much time as I wanted to with the person I wanted to.

Still, not a bad night, and gives me enough room to say "Yes I at least did something on Halloween this year"!

That is the most amazing costume ever. The only downside is that you wouldn't want to actually wear it all night.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #262 on:** 31 Oct 2008, 22:31 »

There was totally a Harley Quinn outfit at the party I was just at and she did not realize...

It made me kind of sad.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #263 on:** 31 Oct 2008, 22:52 »

Ended up going to a party, watching other people rave for an hour while catching up with friends that I hadn't seen in two years, then playing who's line is it anyway? and party quirks for several hours. There wasn't even any alcohol, but I've had the most fun I've had this semester. At one point I was playing an ex-Nazi school teacher looking after kids in detention and at another my hat was trying to eat me. Plus a pretty girl that I like kissed me, true it was just in a friendly way but goddamn its a start, I'm allowed to dream.

P.S. Also totally didn't realize that dressing up in a hot dog costume would automatically make everyone in the room shout out "Ask me about my WEINERRRR."

Patrick · « **Reply #264 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 00:00 »

I dressed up as That Guy at coffee shops. You know, the one who is all pretentious wearing his band t-shirt, worn-out jeans and Chucks, a hat a-la Ben Folds, reading books about shit nobody cares about (I brought a book of Japanese haiku), listening to his iPod, and talking to absolutely nobody.

I don't have any pictures but man beer pong was fun.

Liz · « **Reply #265 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 01:05 »

I have a few people to address so we will do it like this:

Sam- I love that you are covering up your naked face in both pictures.

Koeffer,

Jens- You will have to celebrate Halloween in the states some year. It is fun!

Brittany,

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #266 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 01:33 »

Fuck yeah, thanks Joe and Liz. It was funny, half of the drunks thought I was Elmo, and the other half went "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring!!!" at me. My friend had made some "apple pie", which is made of brewed apple cider and juice and cinnamon with everclear. Then I went to some party where it was kind of lame and I don't think I mentioned that I got my septum pierced, cuz I did, and I'm not sure I like it, but anyway I smacked it twice and it bled all over. Oops.

Inlander · « **Reply #267 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 08:44 »

Party #2, costume #2 (and I use the word "costume" lightly). Here are a couple of pretty crappy photos:

Even more so than the previous costume, it's heavily dependent on words stuck to my chest (unfortunately I couldn't match the colours up exactly, but it was pretty dark at the party so nobody really noticed):

These are the words:

Every P.C. user's worst nightmare: the Blue Screen of Death!

we had a party! i was so pleased that nearly everyone who showed up knew who i was this time.

i don't remember this photo being taken but i think i was making somebody ride the bus.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #271 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 12:04 »

Only two people I met knew who I was. However, those two made it completely worth it.

Two friends did this, and I just thought the picture was so awesome it had to be shared.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #272 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 12:49 »

My costume was FAIL.

As was work's dressing up! When I got there (wearing all black with silver lipstick and a big silver star pinned to my chest because I was being a starry night [I said it was fail]) no one else was dressed up! I borrowed a large orange and black hat from the merchandise section to make it obvious that I was dressed up for Halloween rather than just forgetful and not in uniform, and felt rather silly.

However, a few other people came in costumes a bit later on and lots of customers did. I wish I was allowed to take a camera with me because we had some awesome people in! And I can't have felt as silly as the girl who was shelf stacking in hot pants and a pink feather boa. Man she must have been cold.

I love everyone's costume! Why was my first Halloween costume so terrible? I just did not have time to make cat ears.

Ballard · « **Reply #273 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 14:07 »

Awesome Rosie the Riveter costume (though technically if you want to be pedantic Rosie the Riveter was modeled after one female factory worker during the war whereas the We Can Do It! painting was modeled after another), Tania.

This is my favorite photo of me from last night/this morning.

What is that look? I do not know! Also there was another pirate at the party.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #275 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 16:14 »

Liz's Friend,

There was a pirate at the party I went to too, only where you are a Good Pirate(I doubt you could ever look anything like evil), she looked just like she could be in Pirates. You know, the porno. Apparently I wasn't the first person to notice it.

Also I got to take credit for someone else's costume. This awesome beardy guy rented Life Aquatic and I was all "man, my friend is going as a a member of Team Zissou; he found a hat with the Zissou patch on it thrifting, best find ever" so I see him at the bar as Bill Murray's character. I took off my monster just enough to go "HEY! HIGH FIVE!" or something and he conceded credit to me

I didn't dress up, but I did come across some weird and hilarious outfits while walking around in Oslo yesterday night. The highlight must have been the extremely drunk monk groping an equally drunk nun.

Ladybug · « **Reply #279 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 16:56 »

I didn't see a single person dressed up yesterday, and I'm sort of glad, because I don't like how/why Halloween is suddenly gaining popularity here, but ah well, that's another discussion.

The point of the post, however, was this. Fantastic.

I attacked my friend's boyfriend, who was dressed as a murderous rabbit. My friend (bunny's gf) was dressed as a decapitated Marie Antoinette and I really need to find a picture, because her costume was awesome. (And she made it herself!)

The halloween party was really fucking terrible. Barely anyone dressed up (which I took to mean that heaps of people came dressed as my victims) and most people who turned up were absolute arseholes and so I ended up sitting in my girlfriend's room reading Order of the Phoenix, which I actually had a really good time doing so I guess the night wasn't a total waste?

Liz · « **Reply #283 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 22:14 »

Well I got to see my roommate get drunk and high at the same time, then get more drunk and more high, then almost pass out, and puke his guts out in the bathroom for about an hour altogether.

Whooo.

I just played beer pong and felt sick for a good long while. Fuck the Marines here for using that horrid Miller Light.

I am required to say 'Fuck You' because you badmouthed the Marines. Nothing personal, you understand.

Also I was Tony Stark for Halloween this year. Bask in this crappy camera-phone picture of my costume!

Here's me as "The Cat's Pajamas" and my brother as a zombie. I did his makeup. It took 2 hours. This pic doesn't do it justice.

Absolutely no one in any of the three places we went knew what I was. One person thought I was the Easter Bunny and then thought I got mad because I was actually just a regular bunny. He was drunk. I guess the ears stuck up a bit high and I could have gone with a black cat and not been mistaken for a rabbit, but my pj's were super comfy.

My boyfriend went as a 4 year old who had dressed himself up as a superhero, complete with underwear outside the pants and some goggles and stuff. It was pretty brilliant.

RallyMonkey · « **Reply #297 on:** 02 Nov 2008, 19:16 »

There we are. I'm the one in the Orange. I was George. I'm pretty sure that picture was taken while we were performing "Your Lawnmower's a Racist". One of our few non-covers.

Later that night we were walking down the street, saw a party going on, knocked on the door of the party, and ended up performing our covers of Smack That and Bump N' Grind for about 20 drunk 30-somethings.

All-in-all, it was a good night.

Our Drama Club held a haunted alleyway for this thing called Halloween on Main. If I do say so myself, it was pretty epic for a zero dollar budget haunted house. We brought in almost a thousand dollars. We had everything from homeless people to floating glow-in-the-dark masks to Death himself walking around.
But yeah, it was fun.
I didn't really dress up or anything.
I missed a halloween party but from what I heard, it sucked.

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #299 on:** 02 Nov 2008, 19:29 »

We didn't get off work (haunted trail) and down to Manda's until like 1:30, by which time we were exhausted and not many people were left - but many of them we hadn't seen in a few years, so it was kinda worth it. Also, seeing my little sisters all drunkified. And our Peter and Lois costumes were a success! Mainly because Robert can do the laugh.
