costume ideas!
last week i asked you all to send in some of your halloween costume ideas and pictures. i’ve gotten some great ideas so far, but i’m giving you more time to send ideas and pics, seeing as halloween is this weekend. so for now, here are some of the ideas from our readers and home office employees to get the creative juices flowing…
oh and the rad robot costume was one of our home office employees last year…can’t wait to see what people have in store for this year!
homemade raggedy ann and andy costumes - ann hair was done by tying red yarn to a filigree-styled headband and bowing it at top. only cost was matching socks ($5) and sailor hat ($5) - from janella
for halloween, i'm going to the beaux arts ball here in lexington (the hood internet is going to be there!) & i'm going as a g lion. i spray-painted a party dress gold today and made a gold petticoat to go underneath, as well as spray-painted a tail and ears. i have really african-inspired earrings and lots of gold makeup, and i'm going to tease my hair to no end! last year i was amelia earhart, before that laura ingalls wilder, marie antoinette and elizabeth I. loving those historical female figures! – from leslie
my boyfriend and i are going as peace and quiet: i'll be a hippie and he'll be a mime! – from alyssa
i'm being a star trek geek! - anonymous
wednesday adams – from employee
little bo peep and her sheep – from employee and friends
as for me...i’m going to be at a pearl jam show on halloween, so i’m taking that opportunity to dress in 90s grunge gear…my inspiration is rayanne graff from my so called life.

keep the ideas coming!

I'm going to be a fairy, using an old Free People skirt that I don't wear as much as I used to. I'll send pics once the day occurs!
