Home made costumes are the best

One year I ratted my knda long hair, pinned leaves an petals in it and went as a crysanthamum. Another time my date took the prize in our Headless Horseman rig.

Sadly I don’t have a pic, but one year I bought a cheap rainbow mohawk wig and stuck a light up unicorn horn thru it. Then I put some temp tattoos on my cheeks and went to the work costume contest as My Little Pony Punk Blossom. Someone asked me if that was a “real” Pony. I rolled my eyes and said “No, I made it up on my way to work.”

Everyone kept telling me I looked like Flo from progressive. This was before they made a costume you could buy so I bought a white shirt and pants and made a white apron with progressive stamped across it. The outfit looked perfect. Then I back combed my hair and stuck a headband on. People I didn't know actually wanted to take pictures with me that year so I guess it was convincing lol.

Can't upload mine sadly but thanks to everyone for sharing and keeping Halloween, the best time of the year, alive!

During my senior year in high school, in 1992, I owned a blue pinstripe 3 piece suit, so I borrowed an overcoat and used a briefcase instead of a backpack, then slicked my hair back and went as a Prohibition-era gangster. Complete with 3/4 size toy Tommy gun that used a percussive mechanism to make the machine gun sounds. It was a hit (pun definitely intended). No way that could happen now in this post-Columbine world where the NRA gets more protection than the students. Fvck your thoughts and prayers.
