Does your costume have to be tasteless, or are you open to other suggestions?

it was basically just a big cardboard box that she painted to look like a brick, she wore tights or something under it. I wore my overalls which are already stained with concrete, and a plaid shirt, with a pointing trowel shoved in the hammer loop. easy as pie!

Looks like we only have two creative costumers...From a couple of years ago, Donny, suggested the brick/bricklayer costume and Pat suggested rolling yourself in bubble wrap and letting people "pop" you. The brick idea sounds too cumbersome. Why don't you try Pat's ice-breaking idea this time?

I went as Medusa one year. I glued some plastic wiggly snakes to a headband and made myself green.

At work I went one year as a dead librarian. Wore the stereotypical librarian outfit, including bun with pencil stuck in it. Used latex and Kleenex to make my face and hands all wrinkly, then tore it here & there and put fake blood in the tears. Even took a few fake worms (fishing lures) & fixed 'em so they looked like they were crawling out of me. Final touch, dirt sprinkled on my sweater.
Now there was a fun day at work

LOL Bunnicula - that sounds good...but she's going to a party, and probably would like someone to ask her to dance...not have everyone avoid her all night... LOL
I've share this before. I went to work as a flasher one year. Won second place.
Bought a skin colored leotard and tights. Went to the fabric store and bought a small piece of fake black animal fur. Cut it in a heart shape...stitched it to my groin area. Bought two playtex [because they're flat] nursing nipples, sewed those on my breast areas. Then just covered myself with a rain coat and wore tennis shoes. Had the guys asking me to flash them all day.  They kept asking, "How can you be a flasher if you don't flash?"
Then one of our customers offered to buy my costume from me so HE could wear it the next year.

My husband and I went as mr and mrs potato head. I went to a feed and grain store and got a brown burlap sack, cut a hole in the bottom for my head, and 2 on the sides for arms.
Got some felt at the craft store, then cut out eyes, eyelashes (for me)big red lips, nose, etc.....glued them on the sack with a glue gun and we were ready! We were very comfortable all night as I had black pants and a white shirt under, as did he. It oworked well for us, was easy to make and best of all very inexpensive!!! I think I even got the burlap sacks for free!!

Very good, yellowstone, very good.  LOL
When we were in Tahoe on Halloween one year, the casino workers were all in costume. The patrons could pick up slips of paper and vote for their favorite costume. A cocktail waitress who received the majority of votes was one who was dressed up like a hooker and had a mattress strapped on her back. The comments she was getting that night were hilarious.

You may be arrested for indecent exposure if you follow Linda's suggestions.
You can be catwoman and your husband can be batman.
Unlike most of Batman's foes, Catwoman is not out for mass destruction or world domination. She's in it for the money. She has even been known to do the occasional good deed. When she is surrounded by bad, she is good. When surrounded by good, she is bad. When surrounded by Batman, meow-w! Catwoman and Batman have developed a grudging respect for each other over the years, and sometimes even more. The sexual tension when they are together is almost palpable. That they are made for each other is obvious to everyone but them.

My sister is taller than her husband. Last year they won first place going as Sonny and Cher (no, they didn't do any tacky Sonny skiing costume). She just wore a long wig and dressed in Go-go boots and revealing clothes that she found at Good Will. I'm not sure how he dressed, but you can find some 70's guys' clothes.

Take your husband nude wearing only a pair of roller skates...He would be a pull toy....with you holding the leash dressed in a french maids uniform.

One year my brother in law wasn't in to dressing up but did anyway as a DICTATOR
one pair of pantyhose in the zipper of his jeans with two baker potatoes!
It surely could win the bad taste award,
I won once for a pregnant nun, my husband the priest with what looked like a joint behing his ear,.. that was years ago before the scandal and I really was pregnant.
SEXY Betty rubble with cave girl outfit, I boiled chicken bones to get them clean and wrapped my hair with them, you could take barney rubble or Fred...
let us know what you do..

Were going to a Party this Year, The Hostess has already told my wife that she's Dressing as Anna Nicole Smith (of Stripper and Dead Billionare Fame)and The Host is Going as OZZY (of Burnt Out, Left for Dead, Zombie Rocker Fame). It's obviously a "Reality" theme.

Great ideas!
Wish you party animals would take some pictures and post them here! I doubt that we will see any little ghosts and goblins in our neighborhood this year.
