Alright guys I need some suggestions on a Halloween costume.  The last couple of years I have been Zorro.  I had to be Zorro for multiple year because my costume was very, how should I put this, rediculously expensive.  You see I don’t like to do things half arsed.  I had two shirts made, bought German riding boots, a toledo rapier from Spain, hand made sash, beutiful cape from Spain, nice mask, deer skin gloves and I contacted the guy who played Zorro on televisions son, to find out what kind of hat he wore.  Then I bought that hat.  So that is why I wore it for three years in a row and I still love it.  The great thing is I have lots of pieces I can use for other costumes.  I just don’t know what I want to be.  I have been thinking about buying some really nice Storm Trooper armor off one of the 501st guys, but then I will end up being a trooper for like 4 years.  Any ideas?

Have you ever gone as a fairy princess?

Good idea, Christian, you could loan him the costume you used last year. Are you about the same size?

Curve ... how do you feel about a Zoot Suit? Do you like the whole “swing” music thing?  I would skip the Gnarls Barkely look. ha!

SNAP! “Komikazee action figure” Too Cheesy? I don’t think so!

Komikazee Hero would be awesome!  But it would cost me an arm and a leg to get a cool suit made and I would be right back in the sames situation as with the Zorro outfit.  I have decided to be George Washington this year!  I rented my costume on Friday and it is very cool.

Zombies are always fun and it may be easier to your wallet to invest in some makeup.  You could go as a zombie from 28 Days Later.  A few open sores, red eyes, old smelly rags and run everywhere at top speed while knocking furniture over!

i think you should be one of these:

Voldemort
Derek Zoolander
Whoopi Goldberg (scary)
a giant phallis
a stormtrooper with the peace symbol on his helmet

Love,
Matt

Standard: Ideal 31-7-8

I think you should do the Monty Python and the holy Grail bit.  Get some coconuts and have at it.

I MAY NOT KNOW A THING ABOUT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.  BUT BY GOD I HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT IT!!!

Okay since I have already found my costume, lets hear what you guys are going to be.

I think I am going to be Curvezilla. Does anyone know where I can buy a beanie with the propeller on top?

Probably nothing this year.

advocatus diaboli
Vexilla regis prodeunt inferni

CurveZ, where are the pictures of you and your costume?
