Growing up with a Grandmother makes for really good home-made costumes...

@ Aindel: Also, not to mention if you're going to a club, you want to look HOT, right? So naturally, the costume has to take that into consideration. I like the seasons idea... though I don't think I'm 'cold' enough to pull off winter. You met me, am I a 'winter' person?
Also, Amidala? DUuuuuuuude.

Amidala=HELL. We were up the night before putting that headdress together. And the paint kept scratching off the "lights" around the bottom of the dress. You're right, you're not really a 'winter' person. Your hair would look -really- nice with an 'autumn' costume! With pale greens, and browns, and oranges, and reds, and yellows.... And it could still involve glitter. Everything's better with glitter (I grew up with two sisters in competitive dance, so glitter and rhinestones belong on -everything- to my mind)! I'm gonna do some sketches and see what I come up with!

my mom made my brother a troll costume.
we took igs ears, a sweatsuit, hawaiian skirts, gardening gloves, and paint and threw it all together. little kids ran screaming from him when we went trick or treating.
but we ripped up te skirts and threw them on him so he looked really creepy/funny.

I don't remember my last store bought costume, if I've had any, and I think the last holloween costume my mom made me was in elementry school. o.O
The troll costume reminds me of when I worked at camp and all the girls got to dress up their favorite councelor in their group as whatever the heck they wanted. i.e. underwear on the head and socks on the hands.
So I ended up being something that we called 'the monster from the camp lakota pool'. Because I looked like a very green monster with goggles and pool flippers etc.
=D
Also, I don't think I'm going to be Stephanie for holloween, I mean, it'd be fun, but I don't really have the right build.

Oooh, Aindel, would you? Oh man, I'd totally make something you designed! And yeah... personally, I consider myself more autumn then anything else. Its my favourite season--- Spring seems too innocent, summer too... over the top (too hot, too perky, too friendly)... and Winter is too cold. Autumn is... reserved but still friendly. I think I like that best. Now I'm excited.
And Trey, that sounds awesome. You were a pooool monstar! That must have been hilarious! And mmm.... you don't have the 12 year old build thing going. . . you could prolly pull it off if you tried, but it'd be a hard thing.
