I think I have decided on doing Morrigan from Dragon Age for my costume. Any suggestions on how to do a small clear orb with a [cluster of] LEDs rigged inside?

Katie, some craft stores sell clear plastic balls of various sizes that can open, so if you get some battery operated LEDs, that would work.

So I'm participating in Novembeard as usual this year, which means I have to shave on October 31st.

I might bend the rules a bit and shave on the morning of November 1st so that I can incorporate very silly facial hair into my halloween costume.

Ideas?

Yeah, I've been told I look like Iron Man before.

But then I wouldn't really be dressing up.

I was considering Charlie Chaplin's tramp character. Ill fitting tailcoat, bowler hat, cane, ironic Hitler 'stache.

For a long time I've though that the best Halloween costume would be to just dye your hair and wear coloured contacts. Not freaky colours, as close to natural colours as possible but utterly different from your current hair/eye colour. You'd be you, only with completely different colouration.

I just did a search for "bee wings" because, well, I needed a picture of bee wings. You would not believe the number of sexy bee halloween costumes there are.

Although in many cases describing them as bees is really stretching it.

I mean seriously?

last year my friend went as hurricane katrina which he accomplished by making a tornado-like structure around himself with coathangers and toilet paper+cotton balls.

then he just got blacked out and wrecked peoples' stuff. The illusion was complete.


I think he's gonna try to be the gulf oil spill this year. not sure how he's gonna do that one, but I'm pretty sure I won't want to be near it.

it's not women wearing revealing clothing i am opposed to at all, i think women (and men i guess) can wear whatever they want. the whole neverending "sexy ______" trend in halloween costumes just bums me out because i think halloween is for the most part a really fun venue to express your originality or creativity one day every year through the use of a great costume idea and it's disappointing when more and more people choose to opt out of anything original or thoughtful in favour of just appealing to the lowest (and possibly sexist) common denominator, which is basically wearing as little clothing as possible because hey, everyone likes naked women, can't go wrong there. if you want to be naked that's fine but man, why not at least try to be creative and interesting about it once in a while or something.

Ah, yes the sexy bee costume is such a tired old cliche.

i followed joe's suggestion and google image searched "bee halloween costume" (no mention of gender) and yeah, it kind of is. it's actually really challenging to find a costume on that page that doesn't feature an incredibly revealing outfit and high heels.
again, i'm not going to tell people what to wear or do with themselves but you can only give something so much benefit of the doubt before finally admitting that it really is part of a major and occasionally pretty annoying pattern.

I'm not complaining about the cliche (not at the present moment anyway) and certainly not about the revealing outfit (on the first page I was reminiscing about girls wearing even less than that) but about the sheer crappiness of that costume. What the hell are those things on her head? And what's with the leg things? I'm pretty sure that costume was 100 frickin dollars. If not that one, then several other equally crappy ones were that expensive.

I think the issue for me is not how well the costume is made, or how revealing it is but that it only represents a bee in only the vaguest of ways.  She could just as well be a Steelers cheerleader.  I love Halloween and I love costumes and I think that the first thing your costume should do is convey what you are supposed to be.  If it is also sexy more power to you.  In this case what she wanted to be for Halloween was sexy the "bee" aspect is secondary.

You know what would be interesting? Wearing that bee lady costume, and then getting a bunch of small dogs and dressing them up in dog bee costumes (they exist) and getting them to follow you around everywhere. You'd be the queen bee!

That is a cute idea! I wish I had dogs now...

If she had wings, it wouldn't fail so bad. But she just looks silly as is. There are ways to be sexy while having a real costume at the same time. I think my favorite "sexy" costumes are the beer maids. Just say yes to tiny lederhosen.

The thing that the beer-ladies wear is a dirndl, not lederhosen. That's what the stereotypical oktoberfest/bavarian man wears (or Jim Morrison, considering that it just means leather pants).

Or maybe you knew that, and were saying you like men in tiny lederhosen. Can't tell.

God, I haven't done Halloween in years.  I just pass out candy, now.  "Old guy in the big dark house" is scarey enough, I suppose. 

But when I was in college, we went for puns at the halloween parties.  One year I had a cross between Charlie Chaplin and Emmet Kelly going, but with horns on the derby and a tail made from a stocking leg with a fuzzy tuft coming out from under the tailcoat.  I was a bum steer. 

One friend was a furry with a syringe on top (spoonerize it). 

There was the Celt, all in blue body paint and a loincloth, with a sack of treasure - he was the "Wode warrior from beyond plundered Rome".  That one was a stretch...

And the guy in fatigues, with the crocheted afgans strapped like bandoliers across his shoulders, and a toy rifle.  The Afghan freedom fighter.  It was the 80's...

One year I dressed up as Pinnochio, with vampire punctures on my neck.  My girlfriend (now wife) dressed as a female vampire, and we replaced her fangs with little twist drill bits. 

She was a sapsucker...

God, there were so many more.  The Freudian slip, the memory jogger, the Gypsie Rosalie, ...

There was the John Wayne lookalike.  With vampire fangs.  His line was, "You heard of The Duke?  Well, [smile, show fangs] I'm the Count!"

Get creative, guys.  It doesn't take much.  If I can find a pic of my greatest costume, from grad school, I'll post it.

I'm not going to lie, I wore underwear as pants for my Skanky batman costume on Friday night.  And I looked awesome!  (no photos though I don't think)

But I pretty much always wear underwear as pants now because derby has given me a hella great ass so whatevs.  I have had to buy new underwear to wear under my derby pants because they are smaller than pretty much all my underwear.

if it was socially acceptable i'd walk around naked everywhere too (not in the winter) and i am roughly spherical-shaped. skip the part about having a conventionally attractive body and i'd sorta agree with tommy. i'd say it's more if you're comfortable with your body regardless of the shape it's in. it's a body! everybody's got one, it maybe shouldn't be that big of a deal i guess.

however, i'm pretty sure this argument isn't really about letting people wear skimpy clothes if they wanna, it's expectations of this particular holiday. for some people it's an excuse to wear skimpy clothes, for others a chance to showcase their wit, and others want it to be scary. whatev!

I think probably some of the attraction to Halloween is that it lets people try stuff that they would be afraid of wearing otherwise, because you are supposed to look ridiculous on Halloween. I know I sure as hell wouldn't be wearing a wimple most days (which reminds me I still need to find the stuff for my Death costume).
