What are gonna be/do for Halloween?

[Holly.88]

Halloween is definitely one of my favorite times of the year. You get to be anyone/anything in the whole world for Halloween. So, my questions are: What are your plans for Halloween? If you're dressing up, what are you dressing up as? Got kids? What about them?
As for me, my plans for Halloween are: Going down to New Orleans with my twin sister to stay with my girlfriend. Saturday we're all going to VooDoo Fest where we will all get very drunk while my girl and I are dressed as Moulder and Scully :piratelaugh: Sunday shall be a morning of recovery, then an afternoon trip home. Monday I'll make the short drive to Leesville to be there for the first time my godson really goes trick or treating.

So, how about y'all?

[Rockinonahigh]

I supose I will do the candy thing for all the little goast and goblins then go to the local g-bar to see whats going on and hangout for a bit.

OMG a VooDoo Fest. I has a jealous face!!! I think that should be on my "list of fun things to do".

I love love love Samhain. My kids are all grown but I loved taking them trick o' treating. When they got older and told me I could no longer come I was ssssssooooo sad. Every year I would dress up. I loved handing out candy. Sometimes I would negotiate such as... you give me your black licorice I will give your three candy bars, it actually worked a couple of times. But I live in a walk up apartment now and I don't get the thrill of scaring the little ones :|<----- sad face.

But I rallied...

This year I am going as a Japanese Samurai woman named Toyoko. She has a chinese counterpart Li Chi ... so... I get to wear my boot knives, my throwing knives (Cause both characters slayed the snake/serpent with knives) a chain belt, and a TOTALLY comfortable costume. All white. I wish I knew more about Chinese and Japanese color symbolism. Is white their color for maidens as well? The only issue is that I would love to use black hair spray paint, but I dance like a mad woman and I am not willing to sacrifice my favortist white shirt for my costume.

Next....

[LaneyDoll]

I love Halloween!!!

This weekend, I am running the CarnEVIL of Kink at my local BDSM club. I will dress as a Japanese girl to do it. Kind of like a geisha but without the elaborate make-up. I just do not have time to do to.

Next weekend is the "Magic City Pagans' Witches Ball." It is a yearly event that accepts canned food for the local food banks. I have lots of friends in that group so I like to go support them. I am dressing in my Mardi Gras outfit. I love the outfit and have won "Queen of the Ball" in it several times but it is too much to deal with for the CarnEVIL.

The next weekend, I am going to try to take my kids to "Fright Fest" at Six Flags-we have to see how finances are first. Either way, they are dressing as pirates for Halloween night.

:sparklyheart:

[CockyDude]

I think I'll wear a rubber on my head and go as a dick; there are some that would say I don't really need a costume for that. Lol

[Glenn]

I like to dress up just to give candy and scare some kiddoes heh. This year I am a bloody pope, white bloody gown, fangs, cross, sword, axe, and of course, the fancy gold cardboard hat.

[kannon]

I'm thinking I should cut my hair exactly like his, and shave the top to replicate the balding. Yellow aviator sunglasses. Cigarette holder. White bucket hat with the green underside. Gonzo journalism style. Definitely not a stretch for me.

I hope this doesn't burst your bubble, but......White is the colour of mourning and is associated with death and is used predominantly in funerals in Chinese and Japanese cultures.

I'm gonna be me.

[Soft*Silver]

so my daughter the medium is taking me to an elemental samhain costume party. This years element is water. We have to come up with a costume based on that theme. I am at a loss. Wanna help me? Any ideas? Dont get pricey.I am poor. Be creative tho!

[Abigail Crabby]

I will be dressed as an Inbound Sales Representative lol

I'm working on Halloween - I never get to see the lil kiddies and give out kandy.

I haven't gone out on Halloween as an adult in years - back when I was into bar hopping I loved dressing up and hitting all the clubs.

Hope everyone posts photos of their costumes :)

[luv2luvgirls]

will be running my kid through all the "good" candy spots :D .... maybe this year we will make through the whole first neighborhood and get a street or two on the next. up and down the damn hills grrrr why do I do this? oh yeah my kid :D

[Sachita]

I thought I'd put on some overalls and wear my cowboy boots then go as a real farmer,

[always2late]

I love, love, LOVE Halloween! It's my favorite holiday! We were invited to go to Salem, Mass. but I declined. I heard that it can get very crowded and crazy on Halloween, so I rainchecked the invite for a less touristy time. Unfortunately, I also realized that I'll be in school all day on Halloween, which sucks because I was SO looking forward to taking the monkeyboy trick-or-treating. We put together an awesome costume for him of his latest hero, Captain Jack Sparrow from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. Sigh, and now I won't get to see him in it. Blah!

Is a mermaid based costume too obvious? Easy to create at home with a pretty bra and saran/shipping wrap ;)

I am not very familiar with an event like that so I am guessing.

:sparklyheart:

[Oiler41]

I love seeing the kids in costume coming to the door. Unfortunately, I will be in a hotel in Philadelphia for Halloween. But Pup will pass out the candy at home!!

Oohhh no bubble bursting here!! How absolutely perfect for Halloween. Thank you very much for telling me that. Perhaps the colors fits in with the stories because they were both supposed to die, instead they killed and defeated/conquered the evil water serpent/dragon.

Thanks for answering my question!!!

You're welcome!

I was forever being asked who I was mourning when I lived in Japan and Hong Kong, because I wear cream blouses and Sweaters alot, lol! I started to feel as though I needed a sign around my neck saying: "Not in Mourning, just like wearing cream/white". LOL!

My favorite memories of Halloween are with my kids when they were little.

When Brad was around two, i dressed him up as a penquin and from the back he looked exactly like one cause he waddled when he walked. Also, he didn't quite get the whole idea of trick or treat. When we rang a doorbell and they answered, he would just walk on inside. He thought we were there to visit. I had to keep a good grip on him.

When Steve was around seven, i dressed him as a coke can and it had just tiny slits for the eyes. He bumped into everything and even walked right over a mailbox at one point, bending it completely over.

I hold these and so many sweet Halloweeen memories near and dear to my heart. When the little ones come to my door now, and i see their parents standing near by, i know they are making their own precious memories. Makes me smile.

Drive to Canada.
Walk the grounds of Fort George for two hours in pitch blackness, in the cold, dark night.

Zombie Snow White. I bought a lovely snow white dress, and want to add some scary make-up and messed up hair. I have these fake blood capsules that I can't wait to squirt all over my face tomorrow. :D

[Soft*Silver]

my sig pic shows my costume I wore tonight. I went to a Samhain celebration and the theme this year was the element of water. My daughter went as a person from Atlantis. I myself went as a Sea Crone Goddess. I had this great tie dye top with really loose and big yoga pants, and I had glitter all over my face (as in shiny scales) and stroked on gills on my face. They loved it!

Tomorrow we are handing out candy together, me and the daughter. I am wearing my ceremonial dress and headpiece. Right after,my daughter and I are going to do a private ceremony with just the two of us. I will try to get photos of that as well

[Rockinonahigh]

[Daktari]

I bought a shed load of lollipops for tonights trick or treaters only to remember that I'm at uni until early evening by which time most of the little ones will have been and gone. Tsk!

[willow]

I did my partying on Saturday night. It was a deliciously devilish!

For tonight I've decorated the porch, placed a pumpkin by the front door and will hand out a ton of disgustingly gruesome sugar eyeballs, jelly spiders, fizzy vampire teeth and lollies that turn the tongue black to the trick or treaters that call.

[Rook]

At the last minute, I picked The Mad Hatter for the Athens Hallowe'en Party...
Apparently a good choice, seems every Queen of Hearts (men & women) Alice, or White Rabbit wanted a pic. I took a few of 'em also, never thought I'd see a sensual Queen of Hearts at one point, (Very cold outside, btw. 'Twas the nite b4 snowstorms galore.)
Plenty 'carnival' foods...yum, funnel cake.
I'm still scraping off gold/orange Glitter, though...~grrrr

[Apocalipstic]

I dressed up as Film Noir Star Sat night. Tonight I am going to pass out candy and watch something scary on TV I think ifff my roommate is home, it not I will watch Rocky Horror or Scoobie Doo...something spooky but no nightmares. :)

Rocky Horror did a a 21st Anniversary tour throughout the UK in '94. I flew over to celebrate my friends birthday - I wore the Corset, stockings and suspenders and sang along to ALL the songs. It was a freezing cold night and I got many offers for help to keep warm, unfortunately from the opposite sex, lol!

The party on Saturday, I went as Pierrot the Mime. I've got ceramic Pumpkins ready with skull candles and sweeties, if anyone would like some? LOL!

You could be a real farmer dressed as a farmer.

[Jessica]

This year I dressed up as a sexy vampire..usually I do something funny or scary. I am a tomboy to the fullest so being sexy for a night was quite fun. May do it again next year. I dressed my dog up as Spiderman. :)

[Starbuck]

I can't stand :seeingstars: the doorbell ringing :seeingstars: and the dogs barking :seeingstars: on Halloween (I have 4 big indoor dogs)! It triggers my PTSD...BAD because of the Sudden loud noises. So I took the dogs outside to the backyard and waited until the candy ran out so we could turn off our light. Then we put up an "Out of candy" sign to help keep down on the number of kids ignoring the light rule. You do what you gotta do. :eatinghersheybar:

[Billy]

Deborah and I went to a party saturday as Sonny and Cher ! Had a blast :) Stayed home tonight and handed out candy and it's ALL gone ! :)

[Rockinonahigh]

I had a total of 10 little spookettes at my door tonight,boy did they get lots of candy..I wanted it gone cause I know me and leftover candy.

[gotoseagrl]

make snickerdoodles and treat bags, run out of candy at the door and smile a lot at the cutest little ones. halloween is my favorite time of the year!(and maybe i ate a little too many of the cookies & candies off and on today lol) :clap:

[grenade]

Took my kids and some other people's kids to the halloween carnival down the street and then some good ol' fashioned door to door trick or treating.

[ButchEire]

Drove to Canada and walked around a quiet old graveyard for an hour or so before heading to Fort George for a fantastic ghost tour.

Then, I came home and looked over some of my pictures. Whatcha think of this one?

This isn't a joke, I still have the original picture in my phone and the second one is simply cropped, no other edits. So, who is the woman dressed for Halloween?

[willow]

Lights off, candles blown out and doors locked at 9pm. All the little spookettes (love that, Rockinonahigh :)) should be in bed by then.

No tempting left overs. I made sure the last 3 kids took it all!

Already thinking about next years costume. Heeee....

[ButchEire]

Well, there's a gravestone to the right and if you bring the picture up even closer, the figure is transparent, which is why you see things behind it. Oh, and well, it's floating.

I didn't go out last Halloween but my cousin came to town and went to karaoke in my honor.... You can go to my gallary to see hym!! :D

[Leigh]

I have to figure that out this year, no ideas yet ;)

[LaneyDoll]

Halloween fun on Halloween evening is reserved for my kids-unless they are with their dad. I generally do an easy costume (vamp anyone?) for the time we share.

When I hang out with my friends, I dress more elaborately. Last year, I was a geisha at one party (for the fundraiser I run), a Mardi Gras queen at another and an Underworld-inspired vampire at another. By Underworld-inspired I do not mean black, leather, vampire warrior but the lush, decadent vampire of the movie.

This year, I have no idea. I need something easy for the fundraiser since I am busy, busy, busy but I am not sure if I want to recycle any of those looks.
