Great ideas all around. Wish I could see the pics but I'm at work and the filters are doing their duty.

About 5 years ago, I won a costume contest. The place was an underground goth club in Charlottesville, VA and I ended up having a lot of friends in the crowd which might have helped. But I was dressed up as a bondage nun, just a cheap nun costume from Spencer's, I slit up the front, wore a red plaid skirt underneath, borrowed some chains from a friend so I could crisscross them in front (like bondage pants), fishnet thigh-highs, army like black boots, the typical habit on my head, lots of heavy make-up and a huge cross hanging from my neck that I used to smack people with. I ended up winning the hardback collection of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Was one of the best nights of my life.

I took 3rd place at a local casino's halloween ball (Fort McDowell Casino) in 2006 and won $2,000 cash with this costume. They had $10,000 in cash prize for the top three costumes. That was a great night, it brought out some of the best costumes I have ever seen.

I posted pics of this on another thread, hope this doesn't count as double posting??

I won a high school Halloween dance by dressing like a pumpkin. It was a pretty good costume considering it was made out of garbage bags and construction paper and I put the thing together within a few hours.

I can't remember what I won, nothing significant and I don't have any pictures.

hallorenescene, Yes it's heavy but not hard to move around in, unless your going thru a door way (its tall and top heavy). I look out of the chest and I control the head movements from a bike helmet I wear. The height im not sure exact but almost 8 feet.

You only took 3rd with that. What took 1st and 2nd?

The real thing?

no doubt... that was going to be my question as well...
