Talking Halloween....is it too soon to ask?

Anybody know yet what they're going to dress up as? I usually wait until the last minute and end up getting something crappy, or throwing something together that's lousy. So this year I'm starting early. Who else is in? What are you going as? Any suggestions for me?

I have had people tell me I look a lot like Juno, so that's what I am going as -- a knocked-up teen. It's too bad the movie came out six months after I gave birth or I would have been a knocked-up 27-year-old going as a knocked-up 16-year-old.

I love Halloween, and tend to pick big-girl friendly costumes.

When we moved to WI, we left alot of things behind including my wench costume (I think that went to GoodWill). I loved it, and the spectacular cleavage.

I think this year, I'm going to do the viking thing (my hair isn't long enough or blonde enough, so I'll have to find a wigh). I have the viking helmet (I used to have an even better one, but I loaned it to my mom for a halloween costume she and dad were invited to, and instead of giving it back, she threw it away, ugh).

Don't forget to get wax lips, but cut off the top lip.

I had been thinking about a Scalett O'Hara type costume, but now that I'm losing weight and may be at goal by Halloween.....





I may wear one of those skimpy "skank" costumes to show off the results of all this hard work!




(Not too skimpy or skanky, though-- I'm too reserved for that.)

Applecheeks, I wish I had the guts to dress skanky on other days besides Halloween. Every year, it's like, do I want to dress slutty, tongue-in-cheek, have a hilarious costume, or be really original. I usually have my costume for the next year picked out the day after Halloween.

No, I'm not joking I have thought the costume out and it would be pretty easy, go buy some cheap baby dolls from Wal-Mart, a baby harness thingy, wear a black tank top, do some fake tattoos, aviator glasses, lip plumper and maybe a long black wig since I no longer have very long hair.

Yes, pics will be posted if thats what I decide to go as.

I went as Lyndsey Lohan last year and wore a skanky outfit and put baby powder over my nose and had a baggy with baby powder hanging out my cleavage I died my hair red too. It was well received by all at the party.

Ditto!

If I really ever had the body for it (no cottage cheese thighs, no tummy poodge, etc), I would run around all the time in the skimpiest clothes I could find, just to show off!

I really do envy those girls who can get away with it....

I am going to wear all black. I am going to get a bajillion "Hello my name is" stickers and write things on them such as: Calvin Klein, Coach, Evercrabby and Bit...I mean Abercrombie and Fitch, etc. I am then going to stick these stickers all over my body. Result? I am going as a Label Who**. I'm also trying to go with size 16 black clothes. Been at 18 far too long.

Bananapancakes: Awesome, absolutely awesome!!!

I'm awful, but I seriously debating wearing my bridal gown and going as a bride just because Halloween is a week after the wedding, and why not show it off more than once? >_>
