help! I'd like to come up with something cute and hopefully not pay too much for it either.

I thought about being Elphaba, the green witch from Wicked...maybe.



I just thought you guys would have a ton of fun ideas!!!

I actually don't have teh skirt, but that is an easy one.

I guess I'm looking for a little bit 'unique' as well...if i can pull that off.

No, it took me 30 years to grow this body hair, I ain't shavin' it off for some silly costume. I have seen it done before, though.

That would be a good costume for <i>normal</i> people. For a Parrothead, it's kinda like putting on regular clothes. :lol:

Paint yourself blue, and get a white dress and hat... instant Smurfette.

Get a huge black garbage bag, cut holes for your head and arms. Cut fish out of construction paper and staple them upside down and "dead" looking on the garbage bag. You are now an oil slick.



And yes, right after the exxon tanker ran aground, I was an oil slick. Hey- it was last minute and I had to come up with a costume I could make with things I had in my home.

If you don't cut holes for the head and arms, you could just go as a corpse. [smilie=shocked.gif]

This came up on another thread today.
My idea, Frizz your hair up, sew sheets of unscented bounce and socks on a sweatsuit, and go as static cling! [smilie=gt_grinz-browwiggle.gif] [smilie=grineyes.gif]
