Halloween Cosutme 08

I have heard some great costume ideas and have also come up with a few of my own which I have narrowed down to 3 for my Halloween 08 costume. What I like about each of these costumes is they are unique enough that I probably won't run into anyone else with my costume and they are easy enough to put together.

In no particular order they are as follows:

1. Clara Bow (Silent Movie Starlet)


Thank you Demirep for this fantastic suggestion! I would find a red flapper wig and a headband, some sort of long slinky dress and heels, costume jewelry, that long cigarette thing and a fur of some kind if I can find it. But the best part of this costume though is that I get to make signs to hold up since I am silent film star. If you didnt read Demireps comments on the post below she suggests this:

They could say: "You mean you don't recognize me?" "I'm the IT girl, Clara Bow." "Go to hell." is also a good one to keep in case anyone says anything jerky.

The possibilities are endless for these signs, which makes giddy.

2. Tippy from Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds:

For this I would wear a skirt suit (green if it can be found) and get a blonde wig and attach birds all over me and give myself scratched and gouge marks from the birds attacking me. I have thought about doing this one for awhile but it is a classic so I can do that for any Halloween and it would be just as effective.

3. Angelina Jolie


For this costume, I would wear a dress of some kind that showed of my arms and back so I can get her tattoos drawn on me and visible and then attach a black, (2) asian, and blonde dolls to me and hold two babies in my arms. I might also put a halo over my head but I am not sure about that part. This one makes me laugh and it is pop culturally current.

So those are my top 3. Thoughts??
