Best FL-er costumes 2009

[Fletch]

What a thread

The Popeye family...some sorta screwball aerial comedy...and Emmett Kelly III! Love 'em all. :eusa_clap

Cheapass Golden Age Batman, unfortunately, must wait for daylight to re-emerge...went over nicely with the trick or-treaters, tho I imagine a lot of the little ones didn't recognize the Cowled Crusader without his all-black muscle suit. [huh]
Anyway, there were no complaints, 'cause I had M&Ms. Plain AND peanut! Sometimes, Robin, penny wise is pound foolish...

I especially like the one done as a Blk/Wht

Thanks, Carey. Nice tux by the way.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE - everybody! I am always so impressed on this forum! I was sad I had to just wear something from my closet this year, since I didn't get to finish the outfit I was making since my husbands mother has been in the hospital all week. Not getting to get dressed up in something new is killer on this costumer. Boo hoo. But you all were awesome! Glad I get to look at your pictures.

It's a drag being a stockbroker on October 25, 1929.

Marc, what did your darling daughter dress up as for Halloween?? And the wife?

Great job one and all with vintage-inspired costumes!

My daughter is only a year old, so she didn't go trick-or-treating. We dressed her in a t-shirt with pumpkins on it, and in black pants. My wife didn't go to the Cicada Club on Oct. 25 -- it's not really her thing, she's not much into the vintage scene.


For Halloween night itself, we didn't wear costumes. Instead we went and saw THIS onstage at UCLA:

I'm wearing 40s garb and the wife is wearing 20s garb but we had fun anyway - outdoor Halloween party in Arlington VA. Apparently, we were supposed to look tough in this photo but I didn't get the memo.

Whoa, Marc - Shockheaded Peter! As in the shock opera developed by the Tiger Lillies? I have their cd and dvd, but have not yet been able to attend a live performance, either by the TLs themselves, or any worthy imitators.

Good for you.

And it goes without saying that you didn't subject your wee daughter to that. At least not yet.
(Though I remember the original book from my elementary school library, and what a lasting impression it made; most especially "The Great Long-Legged Scissor Man, and Harriet and the Matches".)

FABULOUS!!! Thanks for the youtube clip here.

Everyone looks fabulous! I spent both of the weekend nights performing with my new Rocky Horror floorshow revue, Shock Treatment Productions. I've not seen any photos as of yet, so we'll see. Had to wear a substitute for one of my corsets as I've gained a lot of weight since I bought it (I was ten and a half stone back then - at 5'10" and a guy, you can probably see why this gets referred to now as my 'Belsen chic' phase). Hopefully it can be altered, as I don't think I want to be that small again! I'll put a photo up when I get one...

Next year, I'm hoping my shows don't clash with all the Halloween events. I hate it when the day itself falls on a weekend, as you don't get any spreading out of events, and everything happens at once.

Nope ... we'll wait until she reaches the age of reason: about 8 years old.

Marc, I think you've found the male equivalent of the "Sexy _____" that women strive for each Halloween! A vintage 3 piece! :eusa_clap But next time you might consider a push up bra.

How do you know he isn't wearing one, very continental you know, and Marc is a man of the world!lol lol

Those people on stage... aren't they the same people from A boy and his Dog?

mermaid costume

this year I went as a mermaid: sequined top, flesh-coloured fishnets (from my closet). green fishtail skirt (slightly below knee length), thrifted. green lace wool capelet, handknit. accessorized with pearl and shell jewelry from my closet, and a trident (not pictured) from the costume store.
