Halloween parties and coustumes

[InTheBeginning]

OK guys and gals, I know you do it. Some of us still look forward to Halloween so we can make ourselves look and feel like kids again. and maybe get shi*faced in the process!

This year will be my our (wife and I) 7th annual Halloween party. Although they're not quite the jello shot and get naked hullabaloo's they used to be, we still have alot of fun. We've done some pretty funny costumes over the years. One year my wife wore a pumpkin outfit, and I stuck some pumpkin seeds to my face and wore a name tag that read, "Peter-Peter".

Last year wife and I were dressed as an electrical outlet(her) and a plug(me). Wouldn't you know it, she's pregnant this year, expecting in January. So, we figured that for this year's party we will be an oven, with a bun in it(her) and a baker(me).

What are you plans for this year?

My fiance's cousin and her husband just had their 2nd annual costume party. We, not having much money decided to go as a cock and a cocksucker. We just painted a little hole on the top of my head with some mascara and then put some icing down the side of my head along with a little turtle neck and some stockings that we stuffed and put around my neck for the balls. My fiance had some icing coming out of the corner of her mouth and that was it.

We have some pretty good pictures of the other costumes from the night, and as soon as we get them developed, I'll scan them and put them up here.

That's a good one. I'd like to use that someday if it weren't for the fact I still have hair!! Oh, and the 3 year old.

I *LOVE* the pumpkin/Peter Peter idea!!! Gotta' remember that one for next year.

This year, if we manage to get out the door for the annual party Saturday, we'll just have surgical scrubs to wear. I had surgery on Wednesday, so it's fitting!

Some good ideas here. My brother and his wife were going to get this costume, but their not going to any parties this year.

My wife and I are going to a BIG party this Saturday Night and I am going as Eddie Van Halen, I have a wig, jeans with ripped knees and a 5150 baseball style shirt. I wish I had the striped Chuck Taylors. I also have fake cigarettes (I quit almost 7 years ago when my son was born) tha look like real lit ones. I will be carrying my old piece of shit no name guitar that I striped that also has no strings. I will have a bottle of wine in my hands as well as the occasional beer.

I tried to get my wife to be Valerie (she kind of looks like her a bit with the puffy cheeks and hair style). But she is going to be a corpse bride, maybe there is some irony there that I haven't found yet.

My neighbor is throwing a costume party again this year , last year I went as Michael Myers but this year I'm going as something even scarier. I have an old white Disco suit (don't ask), platform shoes, a wig, fake facial hair and decided to go as a Bee Gee.

Where is everyone's costume pictures? I'll be dressed as a loser, because I will still be at work late tomorrow. :

The wife and i went to a Halloween party at our local bar. I decided to go dressed as a priest. I was surprised at the big reaction I got from it.

Bad-taste Irwin costume sparks fury


Comedian Bill Maher has outraged Steve Irwin fans by attending Halloween parties dressed as the late entertainer and conservationist, with a fake stingray barb protruding from his blood-stained khaki shirt.

Irwin died last month in a freak accident when a stingray barb pierced his heart while he was filming a nature documentary off Port Douglas in Queensland.

Photos of Maher — who hosts a weekly talk show on US cable network HBO — reportedly taken at a party in Los Angeles over the weekend, have been posted on several websites, provoking outrage from fans of the Crocodile Hunter.

Gossip site Hollyscoop.com reported guests at four parties Maher attended were "disgusted and disturbed" by his costume.

"It's obviously a publicity stunt ... The lengths people go to get attention in Hollywood. It's pretty disturbing," the site said.

One blogger, The Girl With A Curl, wrote on her online journal: "Grow the f--k up Maher, and learn the Old Rules before you write any more new ones. Tragedy + Time = Comedy."

On celebritysmack.blogspot.com, another suggested: "So who's going to don a great big asshole and go as Bill Maher this year?"

Maher fans divided

Fans at Maher's official website were divided, with some criticising the comedian's costume on the site's message boards.

"You may not have liked the man and/or his antics, but his family loved him and will miss him just the same ... How do you think his little daughter or wife would feel if they saw that picture?" one fan wrote.

But others defended the comedian and lashed out at Irwin.

"I just don't get it! Steve Irwin is dead, but that doesn't make him any less of a foolish clown ... somehow he dies, and we give him some legacy and respect that he didn't earn," said one post.

The macabre costume recently topped a list of "Great bad ideas for Halloween costumes" published by the San Francisco Bay Guardian newspaper.

"Kids and grown-ups alike will stare you down with white-hot horror when you strut around in your khaki ensemble with a pissed-off sea creature piercing your chest. Too soon? Hell, no. If Irwin's eight-year-old can get her own Discovery Kids television show, you can certainly make sport of her nature-loving pop's freaky demise," wrote the article's authors, Cheryl Eddy and Kimberly Chun.

That is pretty tasteless.

My fiance and I are having our first ever Haloween Party, in December, "The Famous Dead Person's Ball". Everyone has to come as...you guessed it, a famous dead person or they will not be allowed in. I'm going as Jim Morrison and she's Dorothy (Judy Garland) from the Wizard of OZ.
