I would suggest foam latex appliances. They are relatively inexpensive $50 and you glue them to your face with spirit gum or similar adhesive,They offer a full range of expression so when you move your mouth the mouth on the appliance moves.There are many great ones out on the net.Try Bodybag entertainment, cinema secerets, or FX faces all are great.All it takes to make these look awesome is a little practice with face paint.

I attend Mardi Gras Society Halloween parties all the time. (Live in Mobile, AL. Home of the ORIGINAL Mardi Gras.)

I go to great lengths for my costumes, but don't bother to compete. It's always crappy to spend months on costumes and hours on make up and the award going to some drunk dude who wore his girlfriend's dress and a wig or some drunk Marilyn Monroe wannabe with her tit hanging out. (both actual cases).

Now I just enjoy the party and the compliments, and feel sorry for the competing couple who spent hours on recreating the picture "American Gothic" (down to a portable backdrop) that gets beat by a drunk Society member who spent $25 on a hospital gown and plastic ass.

Sometimes there ain't no justice.

I won 350 with this get-up. It took about 3 hours to apply to prosthetics and paint, and the costume was pretty much just a tux with long silk cape.

a guy won first prize by attaching a dolls head to the top of his head, the dolls dress flowed over his head so you couldn't see his head. then he had the arms hanging out of the dolls dress armholes and legs attached to the hem of the dress and sitting on his shoulders. of course his head was where the cody was supposed to be. then he stuffed a mask and had it coming out of the front of his jacket. it looked like a hunchback giving a little girl a ride. there were two holes cut in the print dress and then covered with a thin black material so he could see out but you couldn't see his eyes. he drank through a straw all night.

two people wrapped themselves in white paper. clothed pinnned some clothes to some line and each held on to the line to be poles and clothes hanging on a clothes line
