Besides let's pretend!
Some friends invited me to a Halloween party and I went as a hooker. Everyone asked me why I didn't wear a costume!
That I don't give a flip for such parties.
Same, never have , never will.
No costume: This appearance is itself an illusion.
A sick and twisted sense of humor. Like a demented Girl Scout selling boxes of cookies made from real Girl Scouts.
sounds like when I go camping and make shepherds pie. Of course I don't use beef, where would shepherds get beef? Gotta use real shepherds in them pies.
Last few Halloween I just dress like usual.
"What are you ?"
" an asshole - go fuck yerself"
?
I'm adventurous and carefree in a pirate costume.
@atheist I always thought that was " aaaarGgggh". Are you a Southern pirate?
@atheist LOL! But wait.....how can you tell about the parrot? Does it wave a Confederate flag?
@atheist geez louise, i heard parrots live a long time, but........?!
@atheist ROFLMAO....At both my naivete and the joke! Thanks!
That I'm a hopeless nerd, as I'd probably go as The Queen In Yellow (Instead of the King In Yellow, geddit?), a costume choice probably no-one would get.
wow, that is an old story. I guess it has been revamped some.
@Rugglesby it's been absorbed into the greater Cosmic Horror fandom, along with Frank Belknap Long, Clark Ashton Smith, and a few others, then taken and run with in several directions. The King In Yellow is now recognised as an avatar of the Great Old One Hastur, knowable by the Yellow Sign.
@memorylikeasieve I will have to get into that, I knew of Hastur brother of the other dude with the funnily spelled name Cluthu or something.
If I had to wear something of my own I would be a medieval woman of small fortune.
If I could be anything I am not sure what I would choose... depended on if there was a theme to the event.
I have been Elvira and Cher as an Indian (from the TV show, singing sitting on a horse) in just the last year. The Elvira wig strands kept getting in my mouth....
@atheist I seldom drink....high on life?......actually, making up for lost time!
I'd wear something nerdy and/or funny.
@atheist Well you aren't wrong.
Well, I've already done a pregnant nun, a Freudian Slip (a full-slip covered in pictures of
Sigmund Freud), Violet Beauregard (after she chewed the gum), a she-devil, and the
St. Pauli girl.
Whatever I come up with next will not be revealed until October.
Go ahead and decide what "statements" those costumes made, for yourselves.
By all means, please share your conclusions.
Mysterious and slightly rebellious....I would wear black and red. A full length formal gown... Possibly with a plunging neckline, hoop skirt and Juliet sleeves... I'm ready!
