Win Big at the Exclusive Halloween Party: Top Adult Costume Ideas!

[itsjustCarla]

I just won tickets on our local radio station for their 'by invitation only' halloween party and costumes are required - in fact, there are HUGE prizes in the costume competitions. Anyone have ideas they'd like to share for adult costumes?!?!

Last year I went as Tippi Hedren (spelling?) from the Birds movie. It was a fun costume. Went to the local thrift store and got a ladies suit (skirt and jacket). I got a big plastic crow from Walmart (easy to find with Halloween out now). I attached it to my shoulder (sewed it from underneath the fabric). then I went to a Hallloween store and bought fake gun shot wounds (for peck marks) and attached them to my head, & neck, with fake dripping blood. I wore a blond wig, with a few little birds in my hair and I also wore white gloves and pearls.

It's early here, so follow the bouncing ball...

You have one dressed as Bach, but with an Arnold Swarzenegger (sp?) face. You have the other dressed as Mozart. Arnie says "I'll be 'Bach'", and the other says "I'll be Mozart". Always been a dream of mine to do this for a costume party...

Another play on words is the wife wears the top of an Army uniform with leggins, and the husband wears just the bottoms...You an Upper and Lower GI...

Groan, I know, but at least they're original! HTH!

If you really want to also promote your business...you could go as a chef or you might try something creative like they did at NC 2007. The twixit clip bride, the hot pad trivet dress, or the scraper skirt. If you would like some pics let me know thru PM.

Thanks...::blushing::

My oldest and I came up with the Bach/Mozart one, and it's now our common way to say so long to each other.

My mom and dad actually did the upper & lower GI one when they were first married (I think...maybe they were dating). Mom was a nurse and dad in the army, so it worked well for them!!!!

I had a friend once who wrapped himself up in a purple sheet, and taped a shoe to the top of his head. He was gum on the bottom of a shoe.....

One of my coworkers came to work last year carrying a little toy airplane....I said "where is your costume?", she said, "Duh, I'm an aircraft carrier!

hahaha

Blow up a bunch of green & purple balloons & pin them to a green/purple sweatshirt. One color for you, one for hubby. And you're grapes. )I think Hubby & I will be deviled eggs this year - just wear white shirts, cut a yolk out of felt & stick it to your shirt... and then wear devil horns.

If you're artistic at all, get cardboard and string it over your shoulders like a sandwich ad board.
Paint it so it looks like a Wii remote or whatnot.

The devilled eggs is a great idea, too!

you can also do this and make it into a cereal box, then carry a fake knife and you're a serial killer. yes, corny!

I went as Ugly Betty last year. At the party there was a couple dress in blue, hair colored blue with name tags saying "Gene"....they were a pair of Blue Jean's. very funny. Their was a Naughty Librarian and a Nerd, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. This year I have to go to the party alone, husband is in China, I am thinking about Pippy Longstocking, Raggedy Ann or an 50's Housewife.

How about going as a whisk? Wear a silver/gray shirt and matching pants/legging. Then make a skirt of the long silver Christmas tinsel.

Or, go as the Iron Chef people Marla, Jean and Lisa dressed up as at NC this year!

I went as a black eyed pea one year. I dressed all in green and made a letter P out of felt and put it on my shirt. Then, I used make up to make my eyes black. It was cute! I love the ideas on here! Also, I just googled creative halloween costumes, and tons came up that looked awesome! This one cracked me up. It's a facebook profile page.

My cousin did this one year, but she dressed in all pink with a pink converse on her head.
