Dressing up for Halloween?
Is anyone dressing up for halloween? I'm one of those people who thinks everyone should dress up. It's not just for little kids!
Me and a couple of my friends are going to be Moulin Rouge showgirls. Anyone else have some creative costume ideas?

I love Halloween! I'm going as a dead/vampire bride. I found a full length satin bridesmaid's dress in a charity shop so I'm making a veil and getting muy mum to help me paint all my visible skin greyish-green and possile put fake blood on my chin. I'm going to see if I can persuade my mate Richard to come as a dead groom!
Visit this sight it's fantastic for costume ideas; http://www.costumeideazone.com/ |

If I actually do something, I'm going along the lines of greek goddess.

I'm going to pass on dressing out this year, it shows a sign of maturity but can still have fun if you're not.
Halloween for all kids and some teens means alot to us, usually the teens don't dress up and then they go around and hijack candy from around the block, but for the most, it's a time to get your blood sugar up and to keep your parents nerves exercised.

It's actually quite depressing that most people have voted 'no'.
Saying that, I vote no.
I would dress up if a. I had the spirit, and b. I had the time.
Aw who am I kidding, I have too much time. I guess I'm just low in spirit.

I'm no longer a teenager and pretty much bigger than most parents so unfortunately I can't really do the whole trick or treating thing. If I did go I'd go as The King. http://www.bkmasks.com/ There's something sinister going on behind that smile of his.

I dress up every year to take out the kids. Its usually something thrown together at the last minute so I can stand on the sidewalk with the flashlight and embarass the children. Last year I went as a drug lord with painted on mustache, sunglasses and hat. My avatar is actually taken from a picture that night.

Friends of mine are apparently talking about throwing a Halloween party, involving costumes... guess I'll find something to dress up as if it goes ahead, other than that, no... and considering I'm 20, I don't think I'm going to be going trick-or-treating.

Halloween
I'm an old fart, but I dress up every year for Halloween. Last year I went as an 18th slut, this year I'm going to be a pirate. A slutty pirate. It pisses off that horrid neighbor from hell that lives next door--she's a career old hag. Never does Halloween.
My roommate dressed up as death and pretends to be a statue in the yard. Kids get a kick out of that, especially the teens.

I would love to dress up as a goth. Or a transvestite a la The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Don't think my co-workers would appreciate either one very much, though.
And I would love to see more ladies dress up as Greek goddesses. So hot. My God, if I have a fetish, that is it.

It's my wedding anniversary. We wore black at the wedding. I don't know what we'll do. We would like to hit a part or two . . . .

I would dress up for Halloween were it not for one important factor - it would require effort.
