Hey think I'm doing the army look to, I'm thinking of wearing khaki green shorts, a white tank top, I have a silver dog tag and I'm going to look around for some camouflage material to tie around my head and put some pain stripes on my face.

Hope this helps

I'm dressing up as the Gene Simmons aka The Demon from KISS. I've got wet look leggings, big studded New Rock knee boots, and a black fishnet top. Oh, and my Guitar Hero guitar!

I need a black corset, a long black leather studded arm cuff, some chains, studded belt, black wig and face paint. I'm super excited! My friend is gonna dress up as The Star Child! Hahah. Should be awesome.

We did this last week, great craic - I was the Starchild, we got 1st place at our Halloween party, beating off competition from JD Quench from the Sprite ads, and a Barbie in a box!

No idea what to go as Saturday night (dont even know for sure if I'll be going out) I still have the Kiss stuff but not enough fellow band members this time around. Maybe something a bit simpler like Mario and Luigi with mate..

I know there is a place on Thomas St. that sells stuff for plus sizes, maybe you'll get them in there? It's across the road from Lidl.

Acoshla · 28-10-2009 11:24PM

Hi all,

Ok I know what I'm going as but I need help on the finer details. I'm going as a Killer Bee, which basically involves dressing up as a bee and then accessorising with a gun, fingerless gloves, possibly a holster, but what else would you guys suggest to add to the Killer part??

princess-lala · 28-10-2009 11:34PM

Myself and a friend have just decided to go out!! Any ideas on what to dress up as and being as cheap as possible

Try Wild Child in George's Street Arcade. My friend got some cool leather ties in there recently, really cheap!

It'll be off into ladies shops for you

I think Dunnes have sparkly silver bomber jackets at the moment. If not Penneys defo have sparkly silver blazers, bit different to the ones in that photo but still sparkly. They'd both be sequinny rather than plain old sparkly

For a tutu you might have some luck in an emo type shop, I know h&m have tutus (in their 'Divided' range) but they're more floaty than sticky outy and in pastel colours. You might be best going into a fabric shop and getting the pink netting and some elastic and using a staple gun to create your own tutu.

Green leggings- try Penneys, New Look, No Name, possibly AWear (and they're selling off all their summer stuff now as well). American Apparel definitely have them but they're quite spensive in there

Larianne · 30-10-2009 12:05AM

There's different coloured tutus in No Name in Stephen's Green S.C.

Aoifums · 30-10-2009 01:16AM

Sorry if anyone has asked this before, but I'm going as Wally, from Where's Wally. I have the hat (well sorta), jeans and shoes. I spent hours looking for a stripey top or jumper.

Does anyone know where I can get one? I looked in Dunnes, Penneys and H&M. In the girls and guys section. And I still can't find anything
