(Vanity) Your Halloween Costumes?

The recesses of my idle brain | 10/23/03 | Hatteras

[Hatteras]

Okay, so I'm sitting here minding my own business and the wife calls. She says she has come up with an idea for a Halloween costume for a party on Saturday night. She wants to be Cruella DeVille and I'm supposed to be one of the Dalmations. She even has ears and a tail from an old Underdog costume that my son wore when he was about 5 or 6 years old.

I told her there are at least two things wrong with her idea. First, thinking that I would actually submit myself to ridicule by being led around on a chain and secondly, being as how I am usually the designated driver for these affairs, thinking I would actually stand around at a party of all her friends in a dog suit without the benefit of having 12 or 15 drinks in me. I suggested that she might as well just go as a widow.

After the expected, "Fine. Then you come up with an idea." response, I figured I would atleast check with fellow Freepers to see what ideas they have come up with for this year and in years past. I did think about Seigfried & Roy (the wife as Roy complete with a white tiger firmly attached to her neck) but alas, that would mean I would have to be Seigfried. I don't think I could pull that one off.

Please help.

You'll like being a dog..

Bill Clinton & Monica??

Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.

Go as David Best and Liza Minelli. You will get many laughs and it will be a conversation starter, too.

Get her a "fancy" collar to ware in private later ....

Just make sure only she knows you have it with you during the party.

And then gallantly and gently place it around her neck in the car as soon as you leave the party.

.....

Any of you professional party animals have another idea?

[PackerBoy]

I meant Davis Gest.

[Hatteras]

You see, I had the same thought...

[CherylBower]

That is a terrifying pumpkin. My eyes will be bleeding 'til Halloween.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Get a suit and black sunglasses and go as one of the Blues Brothers........you'd look cool......

[Hatteras]

"Go as David Best and Liza Minelli."

Hmmm... Get beaten up by my drunken wife? I don't know, that might be apt...

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Robert, he's asking about Halloween.....not how you and your wife do things at home......

[Lee Heggy]

Not only that but with my luck my boss's wife would come disguised as a fireplug.

[Hatteras]

Wait a minute.... Does this "fancy collar" require batteries? :-0

The best idea I've heard is to go as "Frank the Tank" (Will Ferrell) from the movie Old School. That way, all you would need is a bathrobe, and something to use a dart to stick out of your neck.

[Molesworth]

Have wifey go as Cruella wearing a Dalmatian fur around her neck. You go shirtless covered in ketchup. Anyone asks what you are, tell 'em to ask Cruella.

Hub and I did Bill and monica 2 years ago it was a blast.

I even got to rewear my monica costume to a hillary book freep in NY where we got to meet Hannity and Limbacher.
