If I were planning on dressing up, I might try this approach: [link] (Wizard of Oz theme)

I like confusing people.

I think ita should get a satiny sheet to toga up and some gold cord and make some pretty girly wings and go as an angel--and not just an angel, a sweet Hallmark Card kinda angel. I think Krav folks would this funny. I find this funny.

Miss Demeanor (pageant-style) is still my favorite costume of mine.

I always wanted to be Miss Information. (Who would be a great supervillain, incidentially. She'd just go around telling people completely untrue shit.)

She'd just go around telling people completely untrue shit.

Wouldn't that the same as a Tom DeLay costume?

If he were Dave Roberts, we would have a genial mixed-race San Diego center-fielder leading the Supreme Court, and every decision would be in favor of Boston, and the justices would be required to sprint from chambers.

And Joe Morgan would never stop going on about how his confirmation has completely disproven Moneyball.

I think I definitely have to go as something incredibly nice and girlie. A year's worth of effort has them understanding I wear heels and skirts and sometimes even makeup. But they're still surprised when I spar and deliberately don't hurt my opponent. I need to be something not "forceful" nor "like a man."

Angel works, princess works.

She'd just go around telling people completely untrue shit.

Ye gods, no! Miss Demeanor would actually be attractive. Fuckable, even.

OK, people, I'm considering changing web hosting services. Dreamhost is at the top of the list. Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Pink Cthulhu is a great costume!

Jessica:Enid::me:Daria. More of a costume now that I don't wear glasses, though.

My favorite easy costume of stuff in my closet is scrubs + vampire teeth = Nurse Feratu.

I don't know if we're doing anything for Halloween, though. I was getting all depressed that baby's first Halloween would be a non-event, so the DH suggested we participate in the embassy party. But I'm not sure I can do that either...our costumes are always outside the acceptable spectrum of costume choices for embassy parties, and after years of doing our own haunted house, I am not confident I will be able to sit back and let other people screw it up, I mean make a lame-ass dork-a-thon work hard to make a cute box maze.

I love Robin's angel idea.
