5. You could go as a Bollywood actress.
:shrug:

Or you could go as Sonny and Rockit can be Cher. (Sonny and Cher was a musical duo wa-a-a-a-ay back in the 1970s. I had to explain that to my 27 year-old cousin once.)

38. Goddess might be a pretty good idea.
If you can find the right stuff to dress up as Laxshmi, you could give out chocolate coins whereever you go. (they come wrapped in gold foil to look like gold coins.)

You'd be dressed up, and giving away candy. You can't get any more appropriate than that. :)

People might not get it though. People might think you're just dressed in a red sari and not really understand that it's a costume. I don't know if the people who do get it would be offended or not?

49. ya I know
but the image in my head of the tapping cracks me up (just that in its isolation nothing else).... Unfortunately you are correct, Larry Craig has become an "excuse" for homophobic remarks.

39. Get some white garbage bags, a big straw hat and build yourself
a Victorian Lady costume: slim skirt down to the ground. Puffy sleves, and losts and lots of decoration on the hat..perhaps a big white bow.

44. 1. Get invited to last minute party
2. Go home to search for something to slap together as a costume

3. Find small bottle of Tabasco from an MRE that you have no idea how/why is in your house

4. Go to party dressed in regular clothes; when host protests "Hey! You're not in costume!" present wee bottle and say "Yes I am. I'm a giant."

:thumbsup:

47. Pairing up with costumes often works out great.
For example, a couple years ago, my girlfriend and I went as Alice and the Mad Hatter.

Not that that gives you a definite idea, but it might provide some inspiration :)

51. Buy 2 bottles of wine with a "real" cork
Burn the cork smear it on your face. Then you are a hobo. Hold a bottle in each hand and drink as you trick-or-treat, or party. Then you are a wino.

:D

58. My normal response would be 'pirate', but since Pirates of the Caribbean came out, EVERYBODY is
doing that now.

Of course, to balance that out you could instead go as a ninja...
