that was my mental image too, but she's after this crossed with Frankensetin's monster

zippyt · 09-20-2008, 12:56 PM

not Rosie the riveter , Rosie the riveted !!!

monster · 09-20-2008, 01:01 PM

exactly, hence Foot's "shh I'm watching TV comment"

I have no idea if I'll dress up this year. I'll be doing well to get the kids outfitted. Son wants to be a werewolf. Daughter, well, who knows? She's 12, she can't even make up her mind what to order in a restaurant.

What about adult costumes? What are you gonna wear this year?

Here's me, a few years ago...lovely, eh?

I always just went as Stevie Nicks. Scared the shit out of people.

Cloud · 09-28-2008, 09:49 AM

I may have to help with grandkiddos' costumes. Daughter No. 1, despite her creativity, always seems to want to buy costumes. Boughten costumes for 4 kids comes out to lotsa moola.

I've never bought an entire costume in my life, and I'm known for my costumes. But that takes time and energy.

Griff · 09-28-2008, 10:58 AM

The sewing machine is on the kitchen table. Pics when they finish!

monster · 09-28-2008, 08:47 PM

OK, Thor's confirmed as a stingray, Hector has agreed to go for a triceratops because he actually wants people to know which on he is, and we got the material for Hebe's head scarf from the 50c room at the thrift shop today.

best costume news, though, is not for halloween... Hebe's book project this month was mythology, and the end task to pick a character, dress like them and be able to tell everone else who they are and waht their story is. Of course she chose Hebe (Greek Goddess of youth, Cupbearer to the Gods...)

... we went to a resale store and got two full length underskirts for $1 each, cut the waistband plus an inch or so off one, then cropped arm holes and neck holes in the remainder to make it vest tunic shaped. tied the shoulder straps together, used the cut off waitband to cinch it on on the bra-line, put the other skirt underneath... bingo. it's awesome, took 5 minutes, will take pics, am annoyed she won't wear it for Halloween too

monster · 09-28-2008, 08:48 PM

oh and we got a goblet and tray for 50c each to finish it off....

Treasenuak · 10-05-2008, 10:04 PM

-laughs- This is going to be my first Halloween with a miniature. She's ten months old... and I can't for the life of me find a costume I like! My sewing skills are a bit above average, but I'm not going to have access to my machine til the 20th or so... which means I'm cutting it VERY close for having something made in time. Her daddy's a Marine; I'm thinking about just putting her in little cammies, but then again I'm sure EVERYONE on base will be doing that! Any suggestions? Thanks, fellow cellarites!

xoxoxoBruce · 10-05-2008, 10:07 PM

Dip her in food color and paint M&M on her tummy.

ZenGum · 10-05-2008, 10:08 PM

Ten months?
Wrap her up in yellow cloths and say she's a maggot.

Sorry.

Treasenuak · 10-05-2008, 10:23 PM

Bruce, that's actually not a bad idea... considering I'll be back home in Hawaii for the holiday and it'll DEFINITELY be warm enough for her to ride around in nothing but a diaper and body paint... Zen, OMFG... -falls over laughing- I love it!! Her father might have something to say about that idea though... :P
