I am going to be a pirate. My son wants to be a pirate and he said to me "Mommy, you be the girl pirate." So, we are going to be pirates...I specifically will be, the girl pirate.

Yar, let's go find some treasure!

What are you going as?

An exhausted traveller with too-large suitcases, sitting in a Holiday Inn.

That's pretty fucking scary if you've ever seen me like that. And Holiday Inns are always disturbing in a Shining kind of way. Whenever I go to fill the ice bucket I always expect to see two little girls when I turn the corner.

Madman in the ruins.

Voodoo/Jim Crow orientated.
A black suit, Customised top hat, cane. maybe some face paint

Simple but effective

I was going to be Alucard from Hellsing, but I lost the ebay bid for the gloves, so I think I'll just be sad instead. It was gonna be so cool, I had a few friends joining in to be Integral, Walter, and Victoria, but we all are lazy and gave up.
I might be the Crow for the fourth year in a row, if I ever peel myself away from the computer long enough to dig up my face paint and some electrical tape.

I was going for a top-hat and pencil moustache villain in the best "tying maidens to train tracks fashion" but I got lazy.

I spray-painted a plastic gun silver and I'm putting on a suit as James Bond instead. It's not big and it's not clever but it is cheap (and sexy!!).

I'm wearing a fat-girl suit.

Shaun from Shaun of the Dead. I'm covering a nice new shirt with fake blood as we speak.

Are you about to electrocute that young girl, Papi?

I'm the Sandman. The 1939 Sandman Mystery Theatre Wesley Dodds Sandman, that is. I found a gas mask for twenty dollars at a costume-supply store the other day and inspiration struck.

It creeps my girlfriend out.

Only if he falls off the box.

Ace Ventura: with my help, he could be the best.

Jay.

And my hetero-life-mate Ben is going as Silent Bob.

We're going to hang out in front of a convenience store harassing people, and hopefully sell some pot while we're at it.

Ken Bigley.

Complete with Thai bride or just sans head?

Meludreen, you don't want to know. He is disgusting. It involves wearing the neck of his black wool knit sweater over his head.

I shall be a vampire as ever, but I sweat so much when I'm giving it laldy on the dancefloor at Duckie that little rivulets of pink will show through the undead-Goth-painty effect and I shall be fucked. Maybe I'll just go as Kate Bush with a suedehead again. Easier but not entirely Hallowe'eny.

That's pretty much the image I was getting, and now you've intrigued me.

I call for a "Barbelith Hallowe'en Photo Jambouree". I'm a bit pissed off that my costume's so shit this year so I demand photos of all those willing, to make me laugh and sigh.

Good thing I took photos of Keggers in drag. He went to a Hallowe'en party tonight. He has legs to die for! He looks better in my stockings than I do.

He went as a beeyatch. Oh, my baby is all grown up now!

I am Ragged Robin.

Like, currently, as I type. Just got back from a par-tay.

Photo when I'm sober enough to work these here cable thingies and all the little buttons...

"Slytherin Girls Gone Wild" for me this year. Like if they'd filmed the video for "Hit Me Baby One More Time" at Hogwarts.

A bartender. Although, since I'm working as one it doesn't really count...

I found out we're allowed to dress up at work, so I put together a fox tail and ears last night. I just have to go out and buy some safety pins to keep the tail on and bobby pins to get the ears on my head, and I'm good to go.

I shall be dressing up as Jimmy the hideous penguin boy from Tim Burton's book of poetry The Melancholy Death of Oyster boy.
I shall be introducing myself as (insert real name here) but my friends call me Jimmy the hideous penguin boy.
As it is the only line of the poem.

no costume, spooky and jack's do not withstanding such things are, thankfully, usually decried on these shores... didn't stop me carving a pumpkin tho for a party I almost turned up around 24 hours to early for...

Polymerman, that's the greatest costume idea EVER.

Hah! My bandaged and bloodied head elicited serious concern from the bloke in the newsagent when I was buying fags just now. Must have done something right.

Sadly, I had no Halloween plans this year (which worked out alright becasue I'm not well) but did go to see the fireworks in Belfast tonight. No costume, though.

Stupid not-dressing-up coworkers.

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
