Please help me!

What I do have: a Halloween party in three days.
What I don't have: a costume.

Help! I have a devil wig, sort of, so I could use that I guess...but what else does the devil wear? Preferably something not big and stifling so that I can undergo my usual drink-induced full body blush without misery and pain. Also, I'd rather not carry a prop if I can help it.

I need a costume, like a hole in the head, except that would be lame. Best idea gets a prize.

ummmm.....red slip! red slip! go in underwear!

underwear is always my first choice of costume.

hm. that could be ok. i want to be a little bit scary though if i'm going as the devil. i guess claw like nails and a scowl might get me by...maybe i can get someone to draw things on me, like fake swirly tattoos. which is not scary but at least interesting...can anybody out there draw?

oh....you want to be SCARY not SEXY. ok....ummm.....maybe....a black cloak and a scowl and vicious teeth? yeah. and.....get your tongue forked while you're at it, ok? please? that would be awesome.

well, obviously scary AND sexy is ideal...

i think no permanent body modifications though.

but....tongue forking....independent wiggling.....

i like the drawing on yourself with black margic markers cryptic designs then. look some shit up and print it out and then copy like a fiend.

p.s. make sure to draw a lot on your face. it *should* wsh off by monday.

Posted by: michele at October 28, 2002 02:37 PM

Posted by: didofoot at October 28, 2002 02:39 PM

you could use those washable magic markers. they come off with soap. soooooaaaapppp.....you could use some of that.

mwee hwee hwee hee hee.....

..soap?

you mean, on my SKIN? (convincingly horrified tone.)

Posted by: didofoot at October 28, 2002 02:47 PM

definitely fake flood down the corner of the mouth. black lipstick. black nail polish. ummmm........black eye shadow. lots of make up. hweee!

Posted by: tracy at October 28, 2002 02:53 PM

but you've only got one look.
yeah. that look. the one documented in michele's pictures. unfortunately -- not scary.

your feet however...

i dunno, pants. that look comes pretty close to scaring the shit out of me. it's so.....intent...

Posted by: michele at October 28, 2002 03:47 PM

I'm crazy ugly feet! Gimme some candy!

Posted by: didofoot at October 28, 2002 03:52 PM

Trick or Treat, god dammit!

Posted by: tracy at October 28, 2002 04:05 PM

hey michele...

seven days.

Posted by: marc at October 28, 2002 04:08 PM

it's five days now you fool! learn to count.

Posted by: michele at October 28, 2002 04:21 PM

i concur with michele on the underwear bit, and if you want help with swirly designs, i could help, especially since i will be avoiding my apartment like the plague that night. or really, avoiding my roommate like he has the plague, the plague of constantly trying to get invited along.

i would just like to point out that the Rainbow Brite Contingent is still in full effect, in my mind, and i'm about to email all interested parties, and fluff my purple wig.

i have kristen listed as "nebulous villain type," and i think she should kidnap her own Rainbow Brite pony, and poke it with things and laugh maniacally, as we plot elaborate rescue missions involving complete strangers trying to say magic words to the pony so that he might fly from her clutches and into their fabulous S&M gear.

shit. i need to get out, now.

erica - you NEED to be drawing on me. I am down. I guess...body paint? I'll find something. maybe you can do scary things to my makeup too, since michele won't be around to take care of me.

you can come over anytime after 5 if you need escape. hell, anyone can really.

Posted by: didofoot at October 28, 2002 04:45 PM

i have to concur with tracy on the black makeup and fake blood, since otherwise you have a tendency to look cute in the wig, which is the opposite of scary.

But....Rainbow Brite! Join me in the piratey-goodness that is Rainbow Brite!

just don't take any apples from anyone. there might be a razor blade in it. be mindful trick or treaters. i'm warning you. okay, i'm done. you may go out and have fun now........but fear everyone. EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: tracy at October 29, 2002 09:16 AM

heee heee......yeah kristen. watch out for gifts with razor blades in them from tall men with strangely mesmerizing gaits and bouncy hair.
