I need a really original Halloween costume?

Question

I want to be cute, not scary.

Answer 1

Do something in pairs. My friend and I are going to try for Marie Antionette and Maximilien Robespierre. I'm excited to be Robespierre! And, if we can get my other two friends into it, I want them to be Jean-Paul Marat and Georges Danton or Marat and Charlotte Corday.
Well, that's not cute, that's the dream of a history dork.
My sister, who had always tried to stay on the "cute" side when she went trick-or-treating years ago went as an army person and a football player. Something more girly? Last year, one of my friends was a 50s girl and this year she wants to be Marilyn Monroe. Take something you're interested in and run with it.

This is gonna be bad but you did say original..When I was younger I seen a lady and a man dressed up as Tampons (the lady) the man was dressed up like a Condom ..Only if you are older if you are a kid then be a Telephone or a cell phone that would be cool to put together..Good Luck and sorry again for the rudeness..

Answer 3

About five years ago I heard about a person who went as One Night Stand. Lampshade as a hat the stand made out of a painted box. A few books or magazines glued to the top. You could wear heels or sneakers for the base.

Answer 4

I made my son a costume using a man's overcoat, a pink tutu, a wand, cigar and tights. He was the Fairy Godfather. It looked hilarious, and he won the award for the funniest costume.

I made myself a costume with tights, oversized men's green T-shirt, and hot-glued cheap silk flowers and vines all over it. Made myself a crown with sunflowers - and went as Mother Nature. It was really cute.

Another year I bought two rolls of yellow duct tape (at the dollar store), taped wide yellow bands on black sweats. I took a headband and hot glued a giant sunflower in the middle of it and a couple of black pipecleaners with yellow pom-poms on the ends for antennae. Attached wings (also bought at the dollar store), worse white gloves and carried a small bucket with candy- and went as a Honey Bee. I could have added a tiara and went as a queen bee, or a gun and went as a killer bee.

Another cute costume is to attach varied colored sheer scarves with either hot glue or safety pins (on the underside) and go as a scarf dancer. Wear bells around your wrists and ankles.

Answer 5

i'm trying to get my boyfriend to dress up with me as Bonnie and Clyde and be kind-of gangster-looking (not 100% accurate, i think they looked more normal, but people will get it.)

i also wanted to wear a full body stocking in a nude color, wear a long blond wig, and have a "horse" and go as lady godiva.

last year i bought a black full body stocking that had bones on it and even though it was slightly see-through, it was a fun costume. Side Note: make sure if you do something like that, you don't wear any white underclothes b/c they will surely show up, esp under blacklight. i wore black stuff and you could still tell!

Answer 6

Try being a safety patrol officer ..
Juz like the one on Season 4 Episode 4 of Monk !
:D

Answer 7

the most clever costume i ever saw was a person inside a perfect model of a bass viol.. he/she had black leotards on and a black turtle neck i guess, he carried the bow and every once in a while he would draw one leg up into the viol, stand on the other one and draw the bow across the strings like he was playing it...only problem was he was unable to sit down...

Answer 8

One of my best friends went as the color Blue a couple years ago. All blue clothes, blue shoes. You could use blue face paint, too.

Or any other color.

Speaking of face paint, you could paint your face like Braveheart, and wear a sword way way too big for you.

Or go as the Bird Flu Virus. You can be as simple or as wild as you want, but you should have H5N1 printed in big letters somewhere. It'd be cool if your costume was shaped like a virus, but all white, with H5N1 written all over it, would work.

If you're willing to make a costume, you could go as a big Saltine, or a marshmallow, or a Wheat Thin. You can "be" Gucci. Pick a brand you like. Go as Coke (I mean the drink).

Or - this is my favorite - go as Overpopulation, with the number of people on earth printed on your stomach, on your back, on your forehead. You can find population clocks on the net.

Answer 9

Be a belly dancer, Shirley Temple, Tom Servo, Celtic lass, ancient Roman Goddess, autumn fairy, river nymph, or Strawberry Shortcake...

Answer 10

Make yourself the centerpiece of a dinner table. Cut a large square of card board cut a hole big enough for your head, cover the table top with fabric and glue plastic forks spoons and knives and paper plates for each place setting. Decorate your hair with silk flowers and become the center piece. This is not heavy or too cumbersome and it doesn't cost much to make.
