Thread: Show Off Your Costume

Tweet

I love this thread! I have looked at everyone's costumes...simply amazing the talent and dedication of the members of this forum.

This year I was a fortune teller and my husband was a live spirit ball. Bless his heart for sitting under a table for hours in a plastic ball!

Both of us:

David's make-up

Great make up job Saffyre. He sounds like he was a good sport. Thanks for the nice comments on my costume. I really enjoyed dressing up as Alice. As for Skulkin mentioning that concert tickets were only 1.25 I am amazed! I thought that was a typo.

bless his heart, looks like bless his sweet little head. he doesn't have the heart in it. lol. that face job must have taken time

Yes, tickets were $1.25 at The Wild Goose concerts at the YMCA's and high school auditoriums in the burbs of Chicago. Each week was a different band, we saw Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Grand Funk Railroad, Mason Proffitt, Brownsville Station, Ides of March and many more. They'd play a few times a week at the different venues so we'd try to "scrape up" $2.50 or $3.75 to go more than once! Oops, sorry for the thread hijack.

You made a great Lydia. Love it!

I thought that my husband's costume turned out well this year. He was a werewolf (mid-transformation).

You're no slouch yourself, Buzzard!! There is something about a classic witch. I just love witches! You both look great!

yeah, me to hooch, i love witches. you guys both look great. the spikey hair you got going there is great and the facial hair looks very good. love the green eyes, the snarl. he made a very good werewolf

Well I appreicate the kind words. I was planning to be a wicked witch. I had the pointy chin, nose & make-up, but I just couldn't get the make-up to work out so I had to give it up & go without it. My husband still laughs when he tells the story of me standing at the top of our stairs in my underwear & tights only...wearing a fake witch nose & chin...green make-up smeared all over my face....tears running down my face...make-up smeared everywhere because I wasn't happy with the way it lookd. He said it was all he could do to be supportive & not run & grab the camera to take a picture of how ridiculous I looked at that moment!

I figured it was better to let it go & focus on just having fun, but it's tough not to get upset when you've been planning a costume in your head for over 6 months & it doesn't turn out the way you pictured it.
