Just enough time to knit it yourself!

[...] Plumcake… Let’s face it, it’s hard to dispel the “all big girls are desperate” myth when confronted with seventy three plus-size stewardesses inviting you to “fly the friendly thighs” in the span of a night [...]

I doubt I’m dressing up this year (I’m a college prof, it’s a Wednesday, and I just can’t see teaching my classes in full regalia. I think I also do a field trip that day, so I need to be in field clothes.).

Years ago, I went as Opus the Penguin by wearing an old (thrift-store) tux and building a beak-and-eyes onto a baseball cap. That was also fun.

Most fun costume of years past: Goth Girl at the Prom. I found a deep-blue (mightnight blue) velvet dress, wore it over fishnets and clunky black shoes. Made a spiderweb cape out of Halloween lace-tablecloth material. Teased my hair into emo-mode and sprayed it so it would stay. Wore more heavy dark makeup than I ever wear. Put every ring I owned on my fingers. It was fun and comfortable and tho’ it wasn’t really “sexy,” I wasn’t going for “sexy.”

(And I DO think there’s a difference between “sexy” and “trampy.” “Sexy” is fun and, for the right kind of party, appropriate. “Trampy” is just sad.)

My costume this year is a chemise (over other clothing for modesty) and a cigar.

Yep, I’m a Freudian Slip.

Does it count as going as a skank if you wear a blue dress with a Q-tip pinned to the shoulder? I dressed as a White House intern years ago when being a WH intern had the potential for private visits with the Prez.

Miss Argentina is from Beetlejuice–she’s the receptionist when you go to get help from your afterlife case worker.
BINGO!
I’ve been rehearsing the line I’ll use for the costume contests… “and if I knew then what I know now… I wouldn’t have had my little accident!”
Plus, since the dress is only shown from mid-chest up I can make it look however I want. Nice flattering princess seams here I come!

Sexy is good, if you do it right and acknowledge your limits. Great boobs, not great legs? Wear some glorious, outrageous period costume with a corset that begs for a lush body to fill it out. The slut in a bag costumes are never good. My friend is just wearing lingerie this year, and when girls ask what she is, she’s going to say, “Same thing as you!”

A couple years back, I was a goddess, because you have to have curves to rock a toga right… and it’s really comfortable. Last year I was Cruella de Ville in a way cute LBD from Kiyonna that turned out to be a bit too sexy for standard LBD situations. Big white wig that I restyled, red satin gloves, huuuge white feather boa, and a foot-long cigarette holder. Very sexy, but not slutty at all.

This year, I’m a vampy vampire. Black pencil skirt, fishnets, this bustier from LB, a floor-length satin cape, and the best part–dental fit fangs that lock onto my teeth! zOMG so so excited for Halloween this year!

Like T, I’m dying to know how to fashion a push-up bra with duct tape – please Plumcake, make that your next post. Inquiring minds want to know.

I once wore a grey turtleneck with the Empire State Building on it, a stuffed monkey around my neck, and deelybobbers with airplanes on them. Nobody got it, but they all asked. Of course, I was the Empire State Building…in King Kong!

Do NOT blow up a bunch of balloons and go to a party as grapes. You won’t be able to sit down all night without popping something.

This year I thought I’d go with “Box in a Box.”
