1st place went to a group of three guys who were dressed as the pirates of the caribbean and they looked the part let me tell you. They looked like they just walked off the moive set. One was capt jack, the second was davey jones and the third was one of jones sea creature crew members. I only had a breif moment to talk to them but the costumes were all hand made. Really A1 stuff, I was blown away!

Second place was an invisible cowboy. Hard to explain but he (which turned out to be a small "she") was wearing a long black trench coat and was hidden behind cloth and the whole out fit had a wire frame to fill out the figure. so it looked like a empty coat was walking around with a gun belt and cowboy hat. It was really cool!

I won a pub costume party once, the prize was £50 and the costume was a ventriloquist dummy, which, fortunately, didn't cost me a penny to sort out!

I won scariest costume for my Michael Myers costume two years ago. I also always get comments on my Bride of Frankenstein costume.

Twice, back when I bartended. The first was some "sexy devil" number I bought at FOH. The second was a homemade mini skirt number made out of torn sheets when I was pregnant, the reliable "mummy to be".
