Personally, I bought a pink-black long haired wig, the ozzy osbourne cloak, and have some tight sunglasses so I am going as Ozzy to a party in a couple of hours.
Bought a George W. Bush mask. I'll be wearing that to a party tonight along with slacks, Banana dress shirt, and tie, along with my black leather car coat. Should be pimp. I'll sputter off some cheap remarks about "SAD-UM HOOSAYN" and social security, then call it a night.
One kid came to the door this evening wearing some white powdery makeup on his face and a simple white T-shirt with a few blood stains and the word "Murder" scrawled across it. So simple, yet so open-ended. Was he a corpse? Was he a killer? Was he the living embodiment of murder? I gave him an extra package of jellybeans.
I was unfortunately too sick to dress up this year and go to any parties, but the best costumes I've seen this year is when a whole family came to the door this year as the Simpsons! It was great, they didn't wear masks or anything, but used make-up to pull off the effect. She said she was a drama teacher and that she was good at make-up, that's how she could pull it off....imagine my surprise...they even had a baby in the stroller, somewhat dressed like Maggie (they spared the baby the makeup).
