Halp!

[Shauna]

I suddenly have a Halloween party to attend.

I have 2 weeks to scrape together a costume for said party.

I have no ideas and limited time due to work.

Send Link. :(



Along with suggesting cheap/easy/awesome costumes for me, let us discuss your great feats when coming up with costumes, Halloween or otherwise, on the fly.

Harley Quinn

Is that a suggestion? Explain how that is quick and easy. :3

[Freya]

Do You have a business suit? Do you have a suitcase? Get glowsticks, red. Line the suitcase with it so it glows red. Wear the suit. Get some cheap devil horns and make some "contract for souls" for your suit case. Then walk around the party being the devil and offer deals for souls .BAM.

Is that a suggestion? Explain how that is quick and easy. :3

Yes it is a suggestion.
Well, you need a skirt or black pants, which you probably already have.
Red, black and white makeup, quite easy to find.
A corset.
A baseball bat or a gun.
Gloves.
Boots.

Hmm yeah, maybe it's not as easy as I thought it would be.

[Mirage]

Freya has the best easy solution so far.

[Sephex]

Go as the Tax Master.

Ada Wong from Resident Evil (doesn't matter if she's Asian and you're not). If you have a plain red dress there you go or just get one at a thrift store and cut it. Heels, Velcro from an arts and crafts store for the gun strap and a toy gun that you can spray paint if isn't black already. The spray paint will probably be the most expensive thing. Not much effort involved and cheap.

[Drift]

go as BoB, hold some wood. sorted

[Quindiana Jones]

Go as an English person.

[Old Manus]

Harley QuinnFully dressed and bathed, I hope.

[Iceglow]

go as a cow girl, probably have most if not all the bits you need and cowboy hats and guns are cheap.

My sister's first gf has been dressing up as Wonder Woman for years. Red one piece swimsuit, can't remember what they did for the skirt, but back then, the cuffs and crown were made from yellow construction paper. She won many a costume contest with that.

Ada Wong piqued my interest, as RE is pretty great. Need to look into things like wigs though. However, toaster man is unique and fun! :p

Dressing as Venellope from Wreck it Ralph is pretty simple too.
