The cardbord cutout was so big I couldnt reach around the side to grab the candy so my grandpa cut out the eyeballs.

My favorite Halloween costume was probably the only one I wore when I was in high school. My little brother wanted to be a ladybug but didn't want to be one alone so my mom made us really cute matching outfits. Everyone thought he was a little girl but it was super cute!Sierra Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364930724666386832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-37254830457679612092011-10-07T20:18:15.217-07:002011-10-07T20:18:15.217-07:00I've never liked the whole "corporate&quo...I've never liked the whole "corporate" let's dress up as a team thing. Really? I'd rather not dress up...unless it's MY idea. Anyway, one year my boss decided we should dress up with a "farm" theme. We also decorated our cubicle area to make you think of farm stuff. My boss dressed up in a bumble bee costume. I have to admit, she was cute. But the rest of us had to come up with an idea of our own AND get it approved by the team!! Seriously! We actually had a meeting to coordinate. So, when it was my turn to tell what my costume would be I said: "I'm going to be 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm'. --I liked that I threw in a literary reference. Everyone LOVED my idea. They all said things like: "Perfect...that makes sense with your sunny (no pun OR sarcasim) personality." The day before dress up, one of my colleagues brought me a pretty ribbon for my hair and said something like, "I can't wait to see you tomorrow." My costume was actually very understated. I came dressed in my regular clothes and put one of those "Hello, My Name Is..." tag on my shirt pocket. I wrote in the name "Rebecca". That was it. (At least I thought it was funny.)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187940973442646552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-52222034793989220832011-10-07T18:54:14.959-07:002011-10-07T18:54:14.959-07:00My favorite is actually my husbands costume.

I had purchased this mask (back before they asked us not to wear them) that I had to glue over my face in pieces. It was a skull, and the jaw was separate from the rest with black face paint around the outer edges, eyes, nose, cheeks, and neck. Then I had this dark, dark green fabric (hey, it'd looked black in the store and it was on sale) that I'd used for the shroud/robe thingy. When things got really busy, and they needed me to come out and help, there was this huge Polynesian guy who was next in line. I offered to help, but he stepped back, shaking his eyes, his eyes huge. <br /><br />Never wore that costume to work again.Donna K.

Don't get the wrong idea-it wasn't skanky at all. It was very simple. A t-shirt that looks Harley-ish, covered with a black leather jacket, and worn with jeans and my black leather heeled boots. Stuff I could wear any day (although I'm only a heels at church type girl-too painful). I did add a black wig and some red lipstick. It was easy and fast.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337786952098547265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-6114864263407594532011-10-05T11:55:58.206-07:002011-10-05T11:55:58.206-07:00I was a giant green M&M one year.

It was a lot of fun.<br /><br /> We'll see if this year's is my new favorite though, because my sister is doing a masquerade ball and I'm almost done with my "steampunk" costume.

I think my very favor...Melanie, you make me laugh!<br /><br />I think my very favorite costume was in 3rd grade when I was a princess, in a homemade dress. A teacher asked, "Are you a real princess?" I looked at her like she was the dumbest person on Earth and said, "Nooooo."<br /><br />It's either that one, or the year my brother and I dressed up as each other.

It was hilarious and we won an award. We looked absolutely hideous. Painted ourselves green. Made big black uni-brows. My hair was ratted and a mess of pig tails. We had on green sweats and garbage cans around us.
