It is October 2nd and no one has made this thread yet.
Halloween is by far and away the best holiday during the year (not up for debate :aimmad:). Talk about why Halloween and October in general is great and also please tell us what you're going to dress up this year. Anyone who says "nothing" can gtso. Also jack-o-lanterns. Who's carving? Thinking about doing a squid this year!
I want to be a steampunk girl with teal hair :love:
Halloween is justified soley by women dressing all sexy like. :love:
i can get around the dress code at work by coming in decked out like Alexander DeLarge...just can't wear the hat or codpiece. as for halloween night itself, i'm probably just gonna recycle my suave pirate outfit and drunkenly fire off nerf bullets with a little plastic flintlock.
I don't understand steampunk. Like, I don't even know what it is, really.
Going as a flapper. I'm gonna take the boys to their Halloween dance, and I have all the pieces to make a flapper-esque costume without buying anything.
October is the best! I was Tank Girl last time. I have no idea what to be now. :(
Something Wicked This Way Comes :love:
One of the best. Always.
I'm sure that Ms. Pike Adequate will hold an education seminar on steampunk culture if we can get enough attendees.

steampunk is girls looking hot with aviator goggles for the most part
Also, Funeral is the best album for October.
I am dressing up like Wilfred.
Did you just use an abbreviation for "get the smurf out"? xDQuote:

You know, I am strangely comfortable with Steam punk getting simplified down to this.Quote:

Been thinking about letting the beard go untrimmed this month and be Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter for Halloween.
It's not that great when your costume is ruined by the need for jeans and a thick sweater. :(
i like your styleQuote:

Halloween is the day I goes around without my make up on. :bigsmile:
Scared the trout out of the world everytime. :bigsmile:
It's not a thing in Australia, so I'll be celebrating my first ever Halloween this year while in New York. No idea what I'll dress up as though, probably end up going as Crocodile Dundee or something >_<
I think I'm going to take this entire year off for holidays. I hope I'll be at work.
It's supposed to be a literary genre where you take the 19th century industrial revolution and twist it a bit and come up with an alternate scenario. What if Charles Babbage's analytical engine had been funded? What would the late 1800s be like in that case?Quote:

As you can maybe tell I am a gigantic fan of the former and love writing in that genre :greenie:
Halloween time at Disneyland is the second best time of the year at Disneyland! The first should be obvious.Quote:

ZOOT SUITQuote:

I want to be Goku and have my best friend be Vegeta.
I like the atmosphere, but as I age it has more to do with how the weather gets and how my surrounds look. I like cool weather and multicolored leaves. I mean, when I was a kid I LOVED to dress up and tick or treat, but I obviously outgrew that awhile ago aside from dressing up for an adult party, but it doesn't feel the same anymore.
Tig is the new official Halloween ambassador of awesome-ness and cuteness. :kaoclove:
I will second this. I am very rigid and picky about things staying the way they are and that's that, but when I went to The Haunted Mansion for Halloween the first time it was smurfing glorious.Quote:

By the time you get properly dressed, Halloween will be over.
Nah, he'll be ready in time for Haloween. In the year 2017.Quote:

That, and costumes that are like "LOL HORNY DRUNK MAN" that comes with pants that look constantly erect or something.Quote:

Haha, I remember my friend went to buy Halloween costumes a few years ago for her kids and she complained about how hard it was to find non-slutty girl costumes.Quote:

Over the past few years, I've been Tank Girl, Pikachu, Party Cat, Jesse from Pokemon (Nate was James), a crazy cat lady... I can't think of anything creative right now though.
Hmmm. :shifty:
I love Halloween, I bought a Pirate costume last year and didn't get to wear it :(
This year I think I'm finally going to brave it and buy the Silk Spectre outfit, or if it works out too expensive I'll be Wonder Woman.
:jess:
The university I went to is throwing a Halloween party at Dave and Busters. Free food and games all night, so I'm actually going to bother to dress up this year.
The best costume wins a free Macbook Pro.
Any suggestions on what I should dress up as?

i can't link to the site because filters
I am ashamed of my gender.
no why
it's everyone
it's society man
girls can dress up whatever the crap they feel like
but the annoying thing is there's this expectation on halloween
and people go with it without thinking about alternatives
i supposed that technically
the male costumes fit females too

there's hope though yeehaw
NSFW much, krissy?

See, all these sexist costumes would probably piss me off, but when I got out with friends at this time of the year... well, I guess there aren't many girls that can fit into those costumes and the ones that do just don't want to wear them. Either that or I'm hanging out with all the wrong people. The basic gist of this is that although there are some sexy costumes out there, girls have a choice over what they wear and some will wear them because they want to, and some will not because they don't want to. If they can't make up their own mind for themselves then that's a problem that extends well beyond Halloween. I'm sure there are some girls out there actually like having the opportunity to dress sexy one night of the year without being accused of being a slut, but then again some of those costumes might still encourage certain people to say those kind of things about them.
Of course, I don't like dress up parties anyway. Although God damn that Marvin the Martian costume is pure epic on ever level.
I just think they look stupid.
Be as hot and sexy as you want to be. But some of those were really dumb.
Oh, yeah. I think that about a lot of costumes of all kinds. That's why I don't like going to dress up parties. >_>
marvin has beautiful eyes though :|
ahahahahaaa that finding nemo one
Well, not too far off, but pretty sure I'd get arrested for what I really want to go as:Quote:

aww Shiny! You should go as Mystique, that would be badass!
Halloween is a pretty smurfing awesome time of the year. I'm too to go trick-or-treating old now, but I'm sending my niece out with an extra bag so I can get candy but candy is smurfing awesome. :D
You're never too old to go trick or treating so long as you steal a kid to go with you, then it's perfectly normal.
I still think Easter is the superior holiday.
Just as much candy
Less of a ridiculous retail hassle
Better color scheme
Bunnies
Or the easter bilby if you're an aussie.
I love bilbies and I approve. :)
but pike, there are bunnies during halloween, too!
Attachment 37502
I would cuddle the smurf out of that bunny monster.
You shouldn't be. Listen to krissy, he speaks words of wisdom.Quote:

On that note, I remember that a house gave out sodas instead of candy and I made a note to always go there around halfway through my night to get something to drink.Quote:

krissy, I love your posts in this thread. And I'm pretty sure Sexy Concussion/Hospital Patient is probably a real thing.
probably a fetish like that somewhere
not in my file folders but somewhere
(somewhere on my flash drive)

Oh yes, I would do that egg over easy any day.
What about the inexplicable melancholy?
i would every night but
sigh
I have to change my plan from steampunk girl. I think I'm going to be a creepy wind-up doll instead.
