At my high school, they had a costume contest every year. I made it a solemn oath that I would win once before I graduated.
I was Optimus Prime when I won... homemade costume out of spray painted cardboard boxes.
But, I think the winner is:
For grade 10, I decided to get a picture of my own face, scan it, make it bigger, and print it out. I pasted it to the back of an empty box of cereal and put an elastic band around it.
The reasoning behind it was I went to a catholic high school and we had to wear uniforms. This way I could come out of uniform and did not look like an idiot. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Yes, I wore a mask of my own face to avoid looking like an idiot. AND I LOST THAT YEAR! I was dumbfounded.
Anyone else have a classic Hallowe'en costume they wish to share?
Gender: Female Location: every which way but loose
Well, Clo, that was pointless!! I love you girlie......
I wore a black leotard, black fishnets and cat's ears etc when I was 15, including black knee highs. Always had a thing for provocative clothing.
I had a tail and a leather whip, but when my dad saw me he nearly fainted, I had to leg it out the back door else he would have stopped me going. Got some attention, and loads of candy
my costume was i dressed all in black grew my beard into satans beard. i also died my hair jet black and my hair at the time was at least down to the mid part of my back. i wore a trenchcoat and i egged a few houses and spray painted a few cars.
This Halloween I shall be a pimp with the cane, hat and velvet suit
My guy friends will be hookers in the knee high fish nets and garters and wearing kilts
My friends shall be pimps with me and we're gonna play staying alive as we walk down the street
I've had tons of costumes if you count school dress up days.
Decades day (my class was the 80's): I was a white Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I really emphasised certain parts of the outfit to really get it to sell. I wore super tight and super high shorts. The jersey was skin tight and barely went down to the shorts. The goggles and the socks just flat out ruled. I won the contest for the day.
Halloween 03: I dressed as a lady in sexy underwear. I used school colors so I won the "best use of school colors" contest.
For Spring Fling, 6 of my friends dressed up as "Rainbow Warriors" as we called them. (See link link for example of costume)
I jello wrestled for my school in a little kids bumble bee costume. It was meant for a 5 year old but I squeezed into it. It even had a little hood with giant eyes on it and antennas. I just wore black tights for the bottom.
I know there is more but I can't think of them.
Ideas for next year:
1. Borrow a wheel chair from the Physical Training department of my school and turn it into a baby stroller. I'll have to sit down and use a box built around my head with a baby doll body connecting at my neck so I'll be a baby with a giant head in a stroller.
2. Get 2 blow up dolls and wire them to my hips. If I can only find female, I'll be a pimp with 2 whore's at my sides. If i find male ones without penises, I'll dress all 3 of us in suits and buy 3 Agent Smith masks.
3. Get a skin colored suit and strap a giant, real looking dildo (preferably floppy) to my crotch. Then I'll crash as many Halloween parties as possible but that one I can't wear to class.
