Be Someone Else...

First off, I freaking love halloween, it's the only holiday where I can dress up in the most completely ridicules outfits and it's socially acceptable. It's one of the days where disguising yourself as someone else isn't seen as shifty or suspect. (Don't get me started on what happens if you wear your super awesome poofy-sleeved pirate shirt on other days of the year - simpletons!)

Over the years I've had some awesome outfits.

I've been a bushel of grapes, a pineapple (Tragically I've not yet been the entire fruit-of-the-loom cast as of yet... That's the dream!). I've also been Brunhilda, the opera Viking; complete with swirly tinfoil  breastplate. (Hot right?), a super awesome Pirate, Ursula the sea witch (Can we talk about tentacle weight? I can't believe how much stuffed tentacles weigh. A few shattered dreams there, I'll tell you that much.) Then last year's amazing Klingon outfit. Stunning pleather garb and homemade head ridges... It was glorious.

But now I find myself wondering what to do this year! My initial ideas are:

1. The MatchMaker from Mulan (very attractive ink facial hair possibilities).


2. Professor Sprout from Harry Potter.


3. The Wardrobe from Beauty and the Beast.


4. MaryWeather from Sleeping Beauty.


5. Mama Odie from Princess and the Frog.


6. Dolly from Toy Story 3.


7. Lady Kluck from Robin Hood.



8. Mad Madam Mimi's from Sword in the Stone.



There they are, eight ideas, and I'm sure there are more... But I'm at a loss as to what will make me most awesome this year. What costume I'll be putting together. Let me know at you think! What dose the adoring masses want from their leader of awesome? How can I serve your need to laugh at someone this halloween?

Or just be surprised... You know, if you roll like that!
