Halloween Costume for Concert Ideas?

Question

I'm going to see to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers / The Mars Volta play in Cleveland on Halloween night and was thinking of doing a little bit of dressing up. Nothing too drastic, something small. Any ideas?

BTW, I'm a male

Answer 1

Last year I saw on the Martha Stewart show how they made a witches costume from black garbage bags and duct tape.
you need the drawstring bags. one they cut a slit in the area under the drawstrings so it was a bit longer and they cut ,in a zig zag, the bottom part of the bag off, that part is used for another part of the costume.
this one is for the top half of the costume. It is put on like a tube top with the drawstrings as the shoulder straps. pull and tie to fit.
don't worry about the strings coz they get covered later.
then another bag is cut to be the skirt, zig zag like the first and that is tied around the waist. Duct tape as much as needed to keep the top and bottom together.

they also cut a third bag in half to be the sleeves...they used duct tape to hold things in place. Just tape the sleves to the top.
the cut off parts are used to make the cape and they pulled on the zig zag points to stretch them.(also did on skirt)
It was pretty cool and waterproof but you may need scissors to cut the costume off when done.
I hope I explained enough for you to figure out how to do it.
a half dozen bags and tape are cheap especially if you already have them around

where you cut the zig zag depends on your size.
the sleeves bag is cut down the sides so one half the drawstring can be each sleve gather at the neck...
cut and fit the dress to size.
just add a hat and your good to go.
this can be modified as needed and made into a mans wizard outfit

Answer 2

oh my god you are so lucky!!!! wanna take me with you? haha

as for the halloween costume, i think a little make up and maybe some fairy wings will be suttle yet cute enough for halloween (but this depends on what youre into) - female (chris could be short for christina or something)

as for the male costume, im guessing maybe a jail outfit or something like that. you can always do the whole beer keg costume but i think youd be sweating balls at the concert so ya

HAVE FUN!!!
